News & Presse: Apr 06 2024
„As Oroveso, Norma’s father and leader of the Gauls, the bass-baritone Nicolas Testé sang with effortless authority and a dark vocal gleam. Clad in red and gold, carrying a staff, he was a convincing portrait of tribal leadership.“

„Bass-baritone Nicolas Testé was a cavernous voice in the role of Oroveso. His character made several proclamations during scenes and shared a paternal relationship with the character of Norma.“
