IN REVIEW
Claire received tremendous success and acclaim in her recent performances of L'Ange in Saint François d'Assise by Messiaen with the Grand Théâtre de Genève
“Remarkable in every way, soprano Claire de Sévigné (L'Ange) invests her role with a voice that fits perfectly. With a sensitive softness, carried by a perfectly controlled vibrato, her singing mainly expressed in the top of her register underlines the soothing atmosphere that her character spreads. Moving with grace, without theatrical excess, it is a joy to see and hear her.”
-ResMusica, Jacques Schmitt, April 2024.
“All clarity and grace, the angel of Claire de Sévigné is irresistibly seductive, whether in the light dance movements with which she illuminates her appearances or in the vocal line of a golden tone with infinite breath.”
-Le Monde, Marie- Aude Roux, April 2024.
IN REVIEW
Carmina Burana with
Chicago's Grant Park Festival
"Claire de Sévigné’s lovely, refined voice made “In Trutina” the ethereal centerpiece it should be... The Canadian soprano displayed surprising reserves of vocal power and flexibility,with a stunning attack on the stratospheric coloratura of the penultimate “Dulcissime.”
- Chicago Classical Review, Lawrence A. Johnson.
“Carmina Burana” depends on the strengths of its vocal soloists as well, and in this regard soprano Claire de Sevigne created the most rapturous moments of the night, by far. In “Stetit puella,” her exquisitely shaped tones and radiant upper-register singing very nearly made you forget the orchestral-choral tempests that preceded her. The high notes she floated in “In trutina” and the melodic ornamentation she articulated in the stratosphere of her instrument in “Dulcissime” were serenity incarnate."
-Chicago Tribune, Howard Reich.
