“From the moment she takes the stage, one is struck by the sumptuousness of the soprano's voice. She combines admirably sculpted diction with phenomenal play on the variations in the colors of her timbre and the metallic reflections that nestle within it. “C'est Thaïs, l'idole fragile” is a monument to sensuality, and the American soprano then bases her seduction on extremely elaborate dynamic nuances. The pianissimo of “Pour ce soir, sois joyeux” is intoxicating, the richness of the timbre exuding a dripping sensuality. The alternation between bursts of power and diminuendi is calibrated to build a fascinating character from the first act onwards, as this totally controlled voice becomes an instrument of power over the men she controls, just as the singer controls the sound.”
