Pelléas et Mélisande at the Capitole in Toulouse
“The role of Mélisande seems made for Victoire Bunel. The fragile, mysterious woman of the first encounter with Golaud will develop into a real character through the trials and tribulations; the support of the voice contributes to this, as does the acting. The first part is diaphanous, ethereal, marked by a superb fluidity of register and particularly expressive vocal inflections; this purity nonetheless conveys all the affects of the role, which the actress literally lives. The death scene is of obvious beauty.”

Poetry right down to the tips of your hair
“Victoire Bunel and Marc Mauillon gave an amazingly accurate performance this evening. She is a complex Mélisande, wild and fatal, distant and loving at the same time. The voice is solid, full of harmonics that enrich the discourse.”

The Coronation of Poppea, Guillon/Huffman, Opéra de Rennes
“The fullness and warmth of the timbre of French mezzo Victoire Bunel (as Octavie) also arouse great emotion: her “Disprezzata regina”, like her farewell to Rome, are among the most intense moments of the evening”.

The Coronation of Poppea or Love Triumphant at the Opéra de Rennes
“Victoire Bunel lends her voice to the noble and proud Octavie, as well as to Virtue in the Prologue. Her warm, caressing voice fully serves the incarnation of a woman wounded and humiliated, but proud and touching in her anger. Her lamentations are filled with long, heavy silences full of heart-rending sorrow”.

A thunderous Sémélé...
“Victoire Bunel’s graceful vibrato traces the expressive pencil lines of her Ino. The line is invested over time, the voice is that of an intoxicating siren that we continue to listen to passionately, attracted by the storytelling facets and sparkling carats to which she gives free access”.
