"As Isabelle, Victoire Bunel is fully captivating, as much for her ease on stage as for the delicacy of her phrasing and the freshness of her tone."
"Rarely has a fallen empress been so well defended on stage, first by the intelligence of the text and the quality of the articulation, by the depth of the timbre and its harmonic richness, by the fluidity of her breath and the precision of her focus, and finally, and above all by her musicality at the surface of the skin. Victoire Bunel embodies a dignified, noble, deeply desperate and terribly moving Octavie."
"In the dramatic passages as in the more buff scenes, Victoire Bunel’s delivery relies on controlled breathing while her talents as an actress allow her to color her voice with ever-subtle nuances."
"Victoire Bunel, as Brigitte de San Lucar, combines warm timbre and precise vocal placement, without neglecting the tragic and passionate dimension of this other novice nun."
"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.
"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 young heir, Fiodor, is played by Victoire Bunel, whose agility and phrasing, as well as the beautiful colour of her timbre, cannot be praised highly enough".
“Between flame and velvet, Victoire Bunel performs Fyodor’s transvestite with great sincerity”.
