CRITICAL ACCLAIM
"...dazzling coloratura and lithe stage presence..." – Opera News
Semele – As the vainglorious title character, Véronique Filloux looked smashing in her flowing negligées... Her best moment was the showstopping "Myself I shall adore," in which she used her dazzling coloratura and lithe stage presence to piquant comedic effect.
__________
"...crowned these ensembles with incisive high notes..." – Washington Classical Review
Lakmé – As usual, Antony Walker assembled an extraordinary cast down into the supporting roles. The colonial quintet of British expats sang with sparkle and rhythmic unity… The Miss Ellen of soprano Véronique Filloux, Gérald’s fiancée, crowned these ensembles with incisive high notes.
__________
"...both wonderfully sung and wonderfully comic..." – Berkshire Edge
La bohème – The entire company is wonderful, and, moment to moment, the opera captured its audience and made hundreds of people thrill to the best of Puccini. Véronique Filloux was a delightful Musetta, and her Act Two song and “dance” was both wonderfully sung and wonderfully comic.
__________
"...with precision and a modicum of pathos..." – San Francisco Chronicle
Of Mice and Men – There is just the one female presence in this otherwise all-male undertaking, the Eve-like temptress known only as Curley’s Wife. We can pin the sexual politics on Steinbeck, while noting that Floyd gives this lonesome, unhappy woman a voice of her own, and that soprano Véronique Filloux dispatched her assignment with precision and a modicum of pathos.
