Due to her fame, she was also involved in the productions Gospel pour 100 Voix and Gospel sur la Colline.
Dominique Magloire has also explored other forms of vocal art. She studied opera singing at the conservatory and won prizes in singing and chamber music. This has given her the opportunity to interpret great classical works such as Verdi's La Traviata, Mozart's Requiem and Gershwin's Porgy and Bess.
In 2012, she was discovered on the TV show The Voice when she performed songs by Johnny Hallyday. In 2015, she appeared in the musical Gospel sur la Colline at the Folies Bergère. In 2019, she appeared in the show Together, hosted by Éric Antoine and Garou. She also appeared in the musical Menopause, written and directed by Alex Goude. In 2021, Dominique Magloire took part in the All‐Stars season of The Voice to celebrate the show's tenth anniversary.
Thanks to her diverse experience, she will also take over the artistic direction of 'Gospel Hélios' in 2023, an ensemble dedicated to promoting gospel music in Parisian churches.

Eglise Saint-Germain-des-Prés
The oldest Romanesque church in Paris,Saint-Germain-des-Prés was founded in the 6th century as an abbey. The church underwent periodic reconstructions, made necessary by 9th century Norman raids, and Revolutionary era fires, until the 19th century. However, the Romanesque lines of the early interior are still recognizable beneath the paint of 19th-century frescoes. The name of the church was also given to its quarter (Saint-Germain-des-Prés Quarter), a vibrant area in Paris’ 6th district, traditionally popular among writers and intellectuals, and the home of Sartre and de Beauvoir's existentialist movement.
