Sébastien Herbecq

Sébastien a pratiqué pendant 11 ans le violon avant d'intégrer la classe de chant lyrique du Conservatoire de Montpellier. Titulaire d'un master en droit et management de la culture, ce grand amateur de musique classique, admirateur des belles voix, arpente depuis son plus jeune âge les salles d'opéra. Il est particulièrement sensible au répertoire lyrique de ses compositeurs fétiches : Wagner, Richard Strauss, Verdi et Rossini. Dramaturge auprès de l'Opéra de Marseille à partir de 2017, il cesse son activité de critique l'année suivante ; depuis 2019, il est dramaturge à La Monnaie/De Munt.
