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)
