Turiya Haudenhuyse is a Belgian soprano with Indian roots, known for her magnetic stage presence and versatility across opera, concert, and cross-genre performance. An advocate for bridging cultures through music, she draws on both sides of her heritage to fuse Western classical tradition with Indian elements in a way that feels fresh, authentic, and compelling.
She made her debut at the Dutch National Opera as Dinah in Trouble in Tahiti, earning acclaim in The New York Times, and has since performed with companies such as Opera Zuid, Opera de Lausanne, Kammeroper Schloss Rheinsberg, and Clonter Opera. In 2023, she appeared on Dutch national television (Podium Klassiek) alongside the Fuse ensemble and jazz pianist Sven Figee.
A graduate of the Royal College of Music in London and the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne, Turiya is a prizewinner of international competitions including the Kattenburg Competition and the Berliner International Music Competition and was a Vocal Resident at the Festival d’Aix-en-Provence.
