CHARMING, BEAUTIFULLY FRESH SOPRANO...

"Véronique Filloux, in the title role, has a part that fits her beautifully fresh soprano perfectly. In “Sleep, why dost thou leave me,” one of the best known pieces from the work, she was at her best, but the strength and flexibility of her voice were on full display throughout the evening. She acted the role with charming versatility."

"a refreshingly multidimensional character"

"Véronique Filloux made much of her rich role as Semele. Particularly beautiful was her rendition of “Oh Sleep Why Dost Thou Leave Me” when Semele awakens from a dream of being with Jove. Filloux also gave an entertaining performance for the famed “Myself I Shall Adore” aria, which drew some chuckles from the audience as she extolled her good looks." ... "In this production, Semele is no mere vain figure of tragedy. Rather, her motivations stem from knowing what she wants, discarding societal expectations and making every effort to get it. While her ambitions are her downfall, Semele’s agency provides a refreshingly multidimensional character arc. Not an easy feat when the main character is wearing a frilly, pink robe most of the opera."
