Adeline Toniutti, artist from Belfort, pays tribute to Freddie Mercury and the mythical group Queen. A tribute that took her across the Atlantic, to one of the most famous café concerts in New York, the beginning of an adventure that she hopes will be much longer.
We admit that at the beginning, we were rather skeptical… A woman to interpret the repertoire of Freddie Mercury and his group Queen, the challenge seemed impossible. It was very bad to know Adeline Toniutti, a Belfort woman with inexhaustible energy and such a particular voice.
It all started with love at first sight between Adeline and music. Here, by the way, his first crush, his first memory, is Freddie Mercury in a suit of lights, radiating the stage with his aura, singing to tears… A musical soul like that of Adeline .
At 15, she began a career as an opera singer. She did her ranges there and acquired the best vocal training. As a sign of fate, she is nicknamed the rock’n’roll soprano. His experience at the opera lasted 10 years, an experience brutally stopped by a serious accident. The singer loses her voice there.
By dint of work, of rehabilitation, Adeline finds a voice, it is no longer the one before, it is more hoarse, more serious, but it is a voice. Perfect for rock.

When we have experienced bad times, losses, separations, music remains the friend of all moments of life
Today, with her musicians, Adeline returns from a tour in New York. She sang there in café-concerts, including the Bitter End, a mythical place, known to many musicians.
No more Traviata, her repertoire is now that of Queen, of Freddie Mercury to whom she pays homage.
Of course, the vocals had to be adapted, the tessitura is not the same. But the belfortaine shares the same electrical energy.
Freddie, I interpret him as he touches me, as I feel his message … I act as a receiver, but you have to be up to it
Vocally, Adeline can count on her years of opera, it is often the “body that lets go before the (vocal) strings”. To hold the 2 hours of stage, she takes lessons with a sports coach
America was an honor. La belfortaine hopes to continue the adventure with a date at the Olympia and why not a residency in Las Vegas. To achieve this, she can count on two musicians who have toured with Johnny Hallyday.
Ah yes, we haven’t told you everything. Adeline Toniutti really does not like to stay in place. Offstage, she is also a vocal coach. A career that began after her vocal cord operations and long rehabilitation. A way to help other singers find their voice. She should also lead a master class at the end of April with the casting director of the musical program The Voice broadcast on TF1.
