Dominique Labelle鈥檚 voice has been called 鈥渁ngelic,鈥� 鈥渟ilvery,鈥� and 鈥渧ibrant,鈥� and she could easily lay claim to the title 鈥渄iva.鈥� Instead, she simply calls herself a musician, and takes greatest pride not in her rave reviews, but in her work with colleagues and in her probing explorations of the repertoire from the Baroque to new music. Her passionate commitment to music-making has led to close and enduring collaborations with a number of the world鈥檚 most respected conductors and composers, such as Iv谩n Fischer, Nicholas McGegan, Jos van Veldhoven, Jean-Marie Zeitouni, and the Pulitzer Prize winning composer Yehudi Wyner. She also treasures her long association with the late Robert Shaw.

Dominique鈥檚 many collaborations with Nicholas McGegan and his Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra include Handel鈥檚 Atalanta, Alexander鈥檚 Feast, and Teseo, which they recently revived at the 2014 Mostly Mozart Festival. Her appearances with Iv谩n Fischer include the Countess Almaviva in Mozart鈥檚 Nozze di Figaro in Las Palmas and Budapest; a Bach B Minor Mass in Washington, D.C.; a Bach St. Matthew Passion with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra; as well as Mozart鈥檚 Requiem and a Bach St. Matthew Passion with the Orchestra of St. Luke鈥檚. She has also sung Britten鈥檚 Les Illuminations with Jean-Marie Zeitouni and I Musici de Montr茅al; Beethoven鈥檚 Symphony No. 9, Brahms Requiem, and Mahler鈥檚 Symphony No. 2 with Zeitouni and the Columbus Symphony Orchestra.

Among her numerous recordings of opera and concert repertoire is Monsigny鈥檚聽Le D茅serteur聽with Opera Lafayette and Ryan Brown (Naxos).聽 She can also be heard on recordings on the Virgin Veritas, Deutsche Harmonia Mundi, RCA Victor Red Seal, Koss, Denon, New World, Carus and Muisica Omnia labels. Her recording of Handel鈥檚聽Arminio聽(Virgin Classics) won the 2002 Handel Prize. Her latest recording聽Moments of Love聽is her recital with聽pianist and composer Yehudi Wyner on a program of Britten, Hahn, Ravel, Saint-Sa毛ns and Wyner.
