Ève Brenner (born 11 September 1941) is a French opera singer notable for her voice which could cover five octaves.[1] She has two children, the singer Aude Brenner, and film director Gilles Paquet-Brenner.
Early life
Brenner was born in Saint-Chartier, in central France, where her parents who were both musicians and refugees, were living. Her father, Ludwig Brenner, who was of Jewish-German descent was captured and deported during World War II.[1] He died in captivity in 1942 leaving her mother Jeanne alone to raise their children.[1]
When the family returned to Paris at the end of the war, her mother rejoined her orchestra and left her children in the care of their grandparents.
Aged 14, Brenner left school to join her mother's orchestra.
