Operawire<\/a><\/p>\n “In the role of the Comte des Grieux, Nicolas Test\u00e9 was both dignified and emotionally restrained, a perfect embodiment of aristocratic authority. Yet in his duets with Manon and his son, moments of vulnerability and sorrow broke through his controlled exterior, adding unexpected emotional resonance. His presence gave weight to the generational and moral conflicts at the heart of the opera.”<\/p>\n Opera Diary<\/a><\/p>\n “Nicolas Test\u00e9 als Le Comte des Grieux, der Vater des jungen Chevalier, \u00fcberzeugte mit edlem Bass-Bariton und eleganter Erscheinung.”<\/p>\n Das Opernmagazine<\/a><\/p>\n “Nicolas Test\u00e9 gibt mit w\u00fcrdevollem Bass-Bariton einen im genau richtigen Masse autorit\u00e4ren Comte des Grieux.”<\/p>\n Online Merker<\/a><\/p>\n “Nicolas Test\u00e9 zeichnet ihn mit eleganter Autorit\u00e4t.”<\/p>\n
