REVIEWS

"Soprano Perrine Madoeuf makes Micaëla a luminous tragedian, a woman of courage and fervor who sings loudly and clearly in the face of danger. Her voice is brilliant, flute-like, structured, and blossoms in the high notes, reaching a cry of supplication, but without ever hurting."
Florence Lethurgez - Ôlyrix

"Perrine Madoeuf offers a luminous and courageous Micaëla. Her 'Je dis que rien ne m'épouvante' is crowned by luminous high notes and a stage presence that goes beyond the cliché of the naivety."
Emmanuel Andrieu - Classique News
 
"Perrine Madoeuf illuminates Adina. Powerful in the high notes, she delivers her parts with brilliance and accuracy to the point of superbly standing out from the ensembles, at the same time as she overplays much less than her lover and touches with the aria 'Prendi, per me sei libero'."
Vincent Guillemin - ResMusica

"
For her part, the sparkling Perrine Madoeuf plays a high-flying Nadia, giving a lot of vigor to her part."
Emmanuel Andrieu - Classique News

"
Perrine Madoeuf superbly assumes the difficult role of Juliette, which requires both brilliance, lightness and dramatic power. The voice is ample and quite dark in color, which makes Juliette more woman than young girl - a woman already tormented and worried, from her waltz in the first act. But Perrine Madoeuf nonetheless succeeds in the heroine's difficult entrance, with her formidable rise to the high notes which catches the singer cold, as well as the brilliant waltz in the first act. However, it is in the tragic scenes that the artist will give the full measure of her talent, with a poison aria of superb dramatic intensity."
Stéphane Lelièvre - Bachtrack
