Hints and tips:
...Karina Gauvin makes an imposing Vitellia, Julie Fuchs a peachy Servilia and Robert Gleadow a strong Publio while Julie Boulianne’s earnest, powerfully sung Annio is a mezzo voice to watch....
...The young quartet of French singers – Julie Mathevet, Albane Carrère, Cyrille Dubois and Guillaume Andrieux – is fresh and footsure, equally at home in speech and song....
...Julie Fuchs’ Ciboulette shows off a bright but peachy soprano, exceptional diction and, after a nervous start, an easy, lovable stage presence....
...Allyson McHardy’s fiery Arcabonne delivers the goods and Julie Fuchs is a full-bodied, tuneful Urgande but Philippe Do’s threadbare tenor makes very heavy weather of Amadis....
...Happily, Jerome Kern’s irresistible tunes are well served by some good voices, most notably Angela Kerrison’s bell-like Julie and Blake Fischer’s debonair Gaylord....
...The music deserves respect and got it from Franck Ferrari’s sturdy Verrina, Béatrice Uria-Monzon’s proud Julie and the stupendous Latvian Radio Chorus....
