Reviews
ClassiqueNews - Emmanuel Andrieu
Starting with Gabrielle Philiponet, whom we had already heard in her part at the Opéra
de Saint-Etienne in 2018, and who embodies the most thrilling and moving of the Marguerites. Once again, she imposes a song that marvelously combines energy and elegance, vocal disciplineand passionate expression. Her excellent pronunciation, as well as the care taken to respect the style of the work, add to the performance of the artist. She assumes this perilous role vocally and flawlessly, including in its darkest components (church scene). A great Marguerite for sure !

The young Gabrielle Philiponet is a humble, candid but also proactive Marguerite. The equal emission of this velvety voice over the whole range, from well-controlled bass to the most powerful treble, allows him to ensure this squaring of the circle removing the excessive languor of a character too easily caricatured.

In Marguerite, finally, A. E. having left the production, the Opéra de Limoges had the immense good fortune to be able to hire Gabrielle Philiponet, to whom her vocal development allows her to give a complete portrait of Marguerite, the soprano having in fact retained the the agility necessary for the air of Jewels, but with the breadth that more dramatic moments demand.
