“In the role of Thaïs, American singer Rachel Willis-Sørensen takes to the stage at the Capitole, bringing all the nuances required by the role to life in all its depth. Mocking in “Qui te fis si sévère,” luminous, with a brilliant high register, in “Dis moi que suis belle,” she distills the modulations and nuances on the breath in the journey of conversion in the aria “L'amour est une vertu rare” or in the duet “Baigne d'eau”; her luminous lyricism blossoms in the finale “C'est toi mon père.” She who can sing Arabella, Leonora, and Elsa equally well balances interiority and exteriority, power and mastery of the lines, refinement and “marmoreal” projection, as we have read.”
