Marie Oppert is a French singer and actress, born in 1997.
Marie Oppert, daughter of musician parents, early starts the learning of the piano and the clarinet, and then during her childhood joins the choir of the College School of Paris (Conservatoire à rayonnement régional de Paris). She appears for the first time on stage in 2008 in the musical "Pinocchio's Journey" ("Le Voyage de Pinocchio") directed by Sandrine Anglade. In 2009, she plays Marta in the musical "The Sound of Music" ("La Mélodie du Bonheur") on the boards of the Théâtre du Châtelet ; for its 2011 repeat, she changes her part for Brigitta. Again in the Châtelet in 2013, she is the violinist of the British production of "Street Scene" from Kurt Weill. The very same year, she performs at the Salle Pleyel as "Mi Bémol" in "Le Clavier Fantastique", the children's opera of Graciane Finzi from Jules Verne. [1]
Her career takes off in 2014, when she first plays the young Alice from Lewis Carroll in the show "Alice, la Comédie Musicale" [2] directed by Marina Pangos, which then leads her to be Geneviève in "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" from Jacques Demy and Michel Legrand at the Théâtre du Châtelet, together with Vincent Niclo, taking with success over the part crafted by Catherine Deneuve in 1964, in the movie from the same name.
Alongside her start in the acting profession, she succeeds in her exams of 2015 with the baccalaureate, and joins with enthusiasm the curriculum of the Marymount Manhattan College in New York City.
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is a 1964 musical romantic drama film written and directed by Jacques Demy, with music by Michel Legrand. Catherine Deneuve and Nino Castelnuovo star as two young lovers in the French city of Cherbourg, separated by circumstance. The film's dialogue is entirely sung as recitative, including casual conversation, and is sung-through, or through-composed, like some operas and stage musicals. It has been seen as the middle part of an informal "romantic trilogy" of Demy films that share some of the same actors, characters, and overall look, coming after Lola (1961) and before The Young Girls of Rochefort (1967). The French-language film was a co-production between France and West Germany.

Jacques Demy was a French director, lyricist, and screenwriter. He appeared at the height of the French New Wave alongside contemporaries like Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut. Demy's films are celebrated for their visual style, which drew upon diverse sources such as classic Hollywood musicals, the plein-air realism of his French New Wave colleagues, fairy tales, jazz, Japanese manga, and the opera. His films contain overlapping continuity, lush musical scores and motifs like teenage love, labor rights, chance encounters, incest, and the intersection between dreams and reality. He was married to Agnès Varda, another prominent director of the French New Wave. Demy is best known for the two musicals he directed in the mid-1960s: The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) and The Young Girls of Rochefort (1967).
