Dominique Magloire developed her passion for music as a child when she joined gospel choirs. She became known on a national and international level by starring in several musicals such as Gone with the Wind, Cleopatra and Les années Twist. Due to her fame, she was also involved in the productions Gospel pour 100 Voix and Gospel sur la Colline.
Dominique Magloire has also explored other forms of vocal art. She studied opera singing at the conservatory and won prizes in singing and chamber music. This has given her the opportunity to interpret great classical works such as Verdi's La Traviata, Mozart's Requiem and Gershwin's Porgy and Bess.
In 2012, she was discovered on the TV show The Voice when she performed songs by Johnny Hallyday. In 2015, she appeared in the musical Gospel sur la Colline at the Folies Bergère. In 2019, she appeared in the show Together, hosted by Éric Antoine and Garou. She also appeared in the musical Menopause, written and directed by Alex Goude. In 2021, Dominique Magloire took part in the All‐Stars season of The Voice to celebrate the show's tenth anniversary.
Thanks to her diverse experience, she will also take over the artistic direction of 'Gospel Hélios' in 2023, an ensemble dedicated to promoting gospel music in Parisian churches.
Eglise de la Madeleine
The Eglise de la Madeleine is a 19th-century Roman Catholic church that commands all eyes in its lovely location between the Place de la Concorde and the Palais Garnier in Paris. The construction process stretched over 80 years, as the building's plans - and those funding it - underwent many changes. Initially intended as Napoleon's tribute to his victorious army, the Neo-Classical style, echoing that of an Ancient Roman temple, retains the immense standing columns of earlier churches on the site. Inside the Eglise de la Madeleine, one can admire beautiful Neo-Byzantine mosaics, paintings and sculptures. The Neo-Classical architecture and impressive internal decorations create a perfect atmosphere for the classical concerts that take place in the church throughout the year. A magnificent pipe organ, considered to be one of the most impressive instruments in Paris in terms of its tonal beauty, plays its own part in the La Madeleine's musical life.
