"Victoire Bunel was also superb in several successive roles – Maestra Luciana, Giannina Bastiu, Una voce – a sensitive artist with a rich vocal range."
“The sole voice in the work is provided by Victoire Bunel. Throughout this cosmic journey, the score demands that she make constant shifts in register — spoken, sung, whispered — as well as in vocal timbre, sometimes within the space of just a few seconds. She rises to this challenge with remarkable ease, like a chameleon that continually adapts to the soundscapes she traverses.”
"Victoire Bunel lends Phébé a lyrical voice capable of taking on a darker tone to reveal an unexpected tenderness. Her vocal performance is characterised by an ability to modulate her tone, shifting between brilliance and warmth, according to the expressive demands of the role."
"Victoire Bunel delivers a powerfully moving vocal performance for Krystina, oscillating between consolation and torment."
"Mezzo-soprano Victoire Bunel takes to the stage. From the very first notes, she commands attention with her confident projection, rich lyrical voice and powerful, accurate high notes. Her flexible and expressive vibrato complements her careful phrasing, punctuated by delicate attacks. Her diction is clear and her stage presence evident: she addresses the audience directly, inviting them to engage with the text. Her melismas are masterful and supported by attentive accompaniment. Her vocal line is sculpted by her hand, constantly supporting the emotion."
"The quality of the cast provided nothing but delightful moments. Victoire Bunel in the role of the Angel was particularly expressive."
"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."
