Premiere of “Manon” January 18th Nuremberg, Germany

First critics are very positive…

“The cast is very well chosen. Especially Eleonore Marguerre in the title role is great, not only musically. She embodies perfectly the young shy girl from the beginning, but also the loving women who is tempted by a life in luxury. Her voice shows the full range from lyric expression to passionate outburst and convinces as much with her subtleness as with her effortless high notes.” Süddeutsche Zeitung, Munich, Jan 20th, 2020

After three years in Geneva I can now step on again as  “Manon” at Staatstheater Nürnberg for 11 times and enjoy lovely french music by Massenet. I really like the very cool and comtemporanian direction by Tatjana Gürbaca, ..  and five wigs and outfits will give it a real fancy appearance!
