Pierrette Alarie was a Canadian soprano, admired in Mozart, French opera and lyric repertory. She was closely associated with tenor Léopold Simoneau, both on stage and in recordings.

In the Pristine catalogue she appears in Pierre-Michel Le Conte’s 1959 recording of Bizet’s Carmen, with Simoneau, Consuelo Rubio and Heinz Rehfuss.

Alarie’s singing brought clarity, brightness and French style to repertory where diction and line need equal poise.

Her page is justified by career standing and catalogue context. Alarie gives the Carmen shelf a clear Canadian soprano light.
