THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO

It is a pleasure to see again HERMINE HUGUENEL as Marcellina after her memorable Queen Popotte in Offenbach's "Voyage dans la lune" in 2014. Her wonderful temperament makes her a remarkable figure. The scene of rivalry with Suzanne in the first act, while she still does not know that Figaro is her son, is particularly cheerful. It is a moment when one can freely have a good laugh again.

RIGOLETTO

Excellent HERMINE HUGUENEL as Giovanna/Maddalena, equally satisfactory the day before as Mme Larina.

Catherine Scholler, Opéra Magazine, 31 July 2011

HERMINE HUGUENEL stands out interpreting brilliantly two roles: as the duenna being fondled by the duke meanwhile he is seducing Gilda and Maddalena, the sensuality and vitality of whom she brilliantly releases.

CD SUPPLÉMENTS D’ÂME

The mezzo-soprano is HERMINE HUGUENEL. She too… has tinder and kindling in her voice sufficient that it smokes and flames;

Let us salute […] HERMINE HUGUENEL’s ease in the coloraturas (Rosina).

Yutha Tep, La lettre du musicien, October 2008

HERMINE HUGUENEL embodies a not-so-naive Rosina, and she knows how to manipulate others; she commands the role’s tessitura and avoids its traps with verve.

HERMINE HUGUENEL is a tasty Rosina, crafty and mischievous, with beautiful mezzo coloratura tone and spotless vocalises.

Jean-Marcel Humbert, ForumOpera.com

HERMINE HUGUENEL’s Rosina is a little pest who isn’t easily deceived, not even by a count… she’s having so much fun – and so do we! – and she sends out her arias like love letters.

Jacques Doucelin, concertclassic.com, 31 July 2008

SUOR ANGELICA
