Adagio Artists
"Héloïse Poulet is a remarkable candidate. Her voice may not be the most impressive of the evening, but it is well-controlled and flexible: the timbre is centered, sometimes a little pinched, but all of this quickly fades in the presence of the singer. Bright and lively in Rameau's *La Folie*, where the soprano takes the spotlight with a clear love for the text, she then transforms a few seconds later into a convincing Juliette. The singer tackles the tessitura with serenity and brings one of the greatest and most sincere emotions of the evening, thanks to a performance that doesn’t seek to seduce (as often is the case with her colleagues this evening), but strikes the right note, especially in the storytelling." (Olyrix)
