At Staatstheater Nürnberg we are preparing the baroque Opera “Talestri” in which I will star as high Priestess Tomiri. Tomiri founded the Amazone’s country because of her violent past. There are a lot of confusions, Tomiri has a son and The Skythe’s prince Oronte falls in love with queen Talestri.
Many gorgeous arias by Maria Antonia Walpurgis, saxonian Duches, can be heard. The piece was premiered in 1763 and the duchess herself played the main role…

When two spouses argue, a third is happy.
At least that’s the case with Laura and Eduard.
Shortly after their wedding, the young couple is already facing the end of their love.
But for a successful divorce, a good reason is needed: with the handsome Mr. Hermann, one is quickly found.
Their unhappy marriage takes its course and enjoys the greatest media interest: whether in newspaper reports, TV appearances or a big broadway show – the media devour the young couple and their story. By the time the two realize that they do belong together, however, the public already has a firm grip on their fate.

Paul Hindemith’s “funny opera in three parts” precisely hits the sore spot of media sensationalism between reality show, yellow press and social media.

Wenn zwei Ehepartner sich streiten, freut sich ein Dritter.
So ist es zumindest bei Laura und Eduard.
Kurz nach der Hochzeit steht das junge Paar bereits vor dem Liebesaus.
Doch für eine erfolgreiche Scheidung braucht es den triftigen Grund: Mit dem schönen Herrn Hermann ist dieser schnell gefunden.
Das Liebesunglück nimmt seinen Lauf und erfreut sich größten Medieninteresses: Ob
Zeitungsberichte, TV-Auftritte oder die große Varieté-Show – die Medien saugen das junge
Paar und ihre Geschichte vollkommen aus. Als die beiden feststellen, dass sie doch zusammengehören, hat die Öffentlichkeit ihr Schicksal allerdings bereits fest im Griff.

Instead of Zemlinsky’s “Traumgörge” we are rehearsing now at Oper Frankfurt the Opera “Le Vin Herbé” – directed by Tilmann Köhler, Markus Poschner/ Nikolai Petersen are conducting and I will be “Isolde, the blonde”. An interesting opera with a very small orchestra composed in 1943 by swiss composer Franck Martin.
“The cast is very well chosen. Especially Eleonore Marguerre in the title role is great, not only musically. She embodies perfectly the young shy girl from the beginning, but also the loving women who is tempted by a life in luxury. Her voice shows the full range from lyric expression to passionate outburst and convinces as much with her subtleness as with her effortless high notes.” Süddeutsche Zeitung, Munich, Jan 20th, 2020
After three years in Geneva I can now step on again as “Manon” at Staatstheater Nürnberg for 11 times and enjoy lovely french music by Massenet. I really like the very cool and comtemporanian direction by Tatjana Gürbaca, .. and five wigs and outfits will give it a real fancy appearance!

First reviews are really enthuastic about the production…
„At this opera night we see and hear an ideal vocal and acting-wise totally credible incarnation of an overwhelmingly good Natascha sung by Eleonore Marguerre. The enormous applause for Marguerre by the audience proved the singer’s abilities to give an accurate portrait of this young and confused women in search of her true self.“ Opernfreund 2.10.
„The reason is also to be found in Eleonore Marguerre, who portrays and sings so credibly the young and inexperienced Natascha with her youthful soprano. It is her who carries the audience through the first part.“ Klassikinfo, 3. 10.2018
„With such a large and accomplished ensemble cast, it seems almost unfair to pick out individual singers for praise, but the central trio was in a class of its own: Eleonore Marguerre’s detailed and vocally nuanced exploration of the character of Natasha, Jochen Kupfer’s nobly sung Andrei and Zurab Zurabishvili’s conflicted, passionate Pierre.“ Bachtrack, 1.10.

Unverhofft kommt oft – kurzfristig habe ich die “Arabella” in der Inszenierung von Uwe-Eric Laufenberg übernommen.. Aufregend und schön war es und dank GMD Patrick Lange und dem fantastischern Thomas J. Mayer als Mandryka ein großes Vergnügen..
“Eleonore Marguerre gibt uns mit runder und farbenreicher Stimme mit feinem Vibrato ein bemerkenswertes Portrai der Zigeunertochter Saffi. Sie nimmt ihren kraftvollen hohen Töne im decrescendo zu einem zarten pianissimo zurück und zeichnet ein nuanciertes Portrait der Figur. ” Olryx 17.12.2017
“Man wird erobert von Eleonore Marguerre als Saffi, die zweifellos aus der Besetzung heraussticht.” Tribune de Genève 16.12.2017
“Eleonore Marguerre ist eine bemerkenswerte Saffi mit warmer und runder Stimme, und wenn sie im 1. Akt ihr Lied anstimmt, fangen die Emotionen an zu fließen. ” Le Temps 17.12.2017

“Best was the Saffi of Eleonore Marguerre. Her voice has strength and musicality and she could have the potential to expand into heavier German roles.” Seen and Heard inter. 19/12/2017
“Eleonore Marguerre portrays a remarkable Saffi, with a colourful and round voice, with a lovely and delicate vibrato. She reduces powerful high notes to a filo di voce and delivers a subtle portrait of the character. “Olryx 17.12.2017
“Eleonore Marguerre is a remarkable Saffi with a round and warm voice and with her aria in the first act the evening starts to finally get emotional.“Le Temps 17.12.2017

Der neue Merker Vienna, October “Eleonore Marguerre in the huge lead role is fantastic. Young and full of life she manages to portrait the young woman Arabella – not an elder Diva. Without any sign of tiredness she sings the chromatic parts, the fast parlando, hit well also the low notes and showed great legato lines in the thoughtful solo scenes and held a fantastic High B at the end of the Opera “Nimm mich wie ich bin” – the audience was visibly pleased, someone even hummed the famous “Aber der Richtige”..”
Ruhrbarone 25.9.2017 “It’s the evening of Eleonore Marguerre. Her velvetlike, round soprano fills up the audience with sound.”
Westfalenpost 25.9.2017 “Arabella could be a russian oligarchian princess, bored, spoiled and unsatisfied. The soprano manages her huge part with beaming, effortless high notes and a voluptuous middle register.”

La Traviata, Act 1, with Sébastien Droy, Opéra de Tours, 2015, Pic by Francois Berthand
“Die Rolle scheint Eleonore Marguerre schon lange zu begleiten, so reif und durchdacht wirkt diese Interpretation in ihrer Aufrichtigkeit und Stringenz. (…) In “Ah! Fors’è lui” ist jede Phrase elegant wie Mozart, jedes Wort und jede Silbe bis zum Ende gedacht, und dennoch voller Energie gesungen. Im zweiten Akt tritt die Schauspielerin hervor, schmerzerfüllt bis zum leidenschaftlichen “Amami Alfredo”. (…) Bis zum Ende leidet man mit dieser Violetta, die lebenstrunken ist und dennoch zerbrechlich, wie ein Vogel, der von einem Ast gefallen ist.” Classique News
27.5.15“Eleonore Marguerre wird zu recht mit Ovationen bedacht. (…) Aus dem Koloratur-Repertoire kommend, hat sie sich die stimmliche Beweglichkeit für die Koloraturen der ersten Arie inklusive des hohen Es in “Sempre Libera” erhalten. (…) Ihre schlanke Silhouette, die an Romy Schneider denken lässt gibt allem eine große Glaubwürdigkeit, die in ihrem Partner Sébastien Droy ihr Ebenbild findet.” Forum Opera 22.5.2015
La Traviata, Act 1, with Sébastien Droy, Opéra de Tours, 2015, Pic by Francois Berthand
Our Premiere was a great event, leaving us exhausted and the public enthusiastic – here a first critique in french –
“The role of Violetta must have been ripened and thought through for a long time, so accomplished and sincere is the interpretation of sEleonore Marguerre (…) In “Ah! Fors’è lui” every phrase is elegant as in Mozart, every word and every sillalble is cisellised, and meaningful and still the voice stays vibrant and powerful. We see the art of the actress in the second act, full of suffering until the passionate outburst of love in “Amami Alfredo”. (…) We, the public suffer til the bitter end, compassionate with this Violetta, who is so drunk of life and yet so fragile as a bird that has fallen off a tree. ” Classique News
“Eleonore Marguerre is greeted by justified ovations. This german Soprano can fulfil from one side to the other one of the most demanding roles in the whole repertoire. Coming from a coloratura past, she has kept her vocal agilitiy, which is very welcome in the first act aria up to the High E flat. (…) Her slender appearance ressembling to Romy Schneider make the whole evening credible, matched by her equally attractive partner Sébastien Droy.” (22.5.2015)
