Praised for his "admirably colourful and resonant voice, both noble and playful" (Classicnews) and described as a "delightful actor" (Concertclassic), Aimery Lefèvre has built his career on the major opera stages in France and internationally, with a constantly renewed curiosity and a particularly eclectic repertoire.

He first studied piano and organ before taking up opera singing at the Bourges Conservatoire, then quickly joined the Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles. He was then admitted to the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Lyon, where he obtained his diploma before joining the Atelier Lyrique of the Opéra national de Paris.

He subsequently performed at the Opéra de Tours (The Rape of Lucretia), the Opéra de Rennes (Cosi fan tutte) and the Amphitheatre of the Opéra Bastille (Il matrimonio segreto, L'enfant et les sortilèges, Les Aveugles by X. Dayer).

Two productions marked his debut at the Paris National Opera: Il Barbiere di Siviglia (Fiorello) and Platée (Momus) in Laurent Pelly's legendary production. Since then, he has performed at the Royal Opera House in London (L'Etoile by Chabrier), the Opéra national de Paris (Hippolyte et Aricie), the Grand Théâtre de Luxembourg (Carmen), the Glyndebourne Festival (Hippolyte et Aricie), the Teatro Municipal in Santiago, Chile (Lakmé), the Lille Opera (L'incoronazione di Poppea), the Dijon Opera (Carmen, L'incoronazione di Poppea), the Opéra de Tours (L'italiana in Algeri), the Opéra Grand Avignon (Don Giovanni, Carmen), the Opéra de Rouen (La Cenerentola), the Opéra national de Lorraine (L'amour des trois oranges) and the Atelier lyrique de Tourcoing (Le monde selon Mozart).

He recently sang at the Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi Opera Houses for the premiere of Benjamin Attahir's opera Paysage dans l'oubli (libretto by Olivier Dhénin) and sang his first Escamillo (Carmen intime) with the Avignon Opera.
