“. . .\u00a0a dream cast . . . delivers in this sensitive and insightful production . . .\u00a0Leila is a virgin priestess who must keep her vows on pain of death, an edict enforced by the high priest Nourabad (Nicolas Test\u00e9, a fine bass-baritone), who accompanies her.”<\/p>\n

Eli Jacobson | Gay City News<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Native Frenchman Nicolas Test\u00e9 . . . imbued the priest Nourabad with a mellow soft-grained bass-baritone and a handsome brooding presence.”<\/p>\n

Susan Brodie | Classical Voice North America<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

“In the small part of Nourabad, the priest who accompanies Leila, the suave bass Nicolas Test\u00e9 gave a lesson in French style.”<\/p>\n

George Grella | New York Classical Review<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Bass-baritone Nicolas Test\u00e9 delivered a solid portrayal of the officious hight priest Nourabad.”<\/p>\n

Richard Sasanow | BroadwayWorld<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

“The last of the principals was bass-baritone Nicolas Teste as the heavy of the piece, Nourabad, the high priest, who does his best to break Leila’s spirit in the name of Brahma. His resonant voice made me wish he had more singing in the piece.”<\/p>\n

Martin Bernheimer | FT.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Nicolas Test\u00e9 exudes stern authority as the nasty priest of Brahma.”<\/p>\n

David Salazar | Latin Post<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Props also go to the remaining cast and chorus members, most notably Nicolas Test\u00e9 who made his Nourabad a fierce and somewhat menacing figure.”<\/p>\n

Heidi Waleson | Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Bass-baritone Nicolas Test\u00e9 ably completed the cast as Nourabad . . .”<\/p>\n

Wilborn Hampton | The Huffington Post<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

“It has taken the Met Opera 100 years to get Bizet’s Les Pecheurs de Perles back on the stage, but the new production the company unveiled in a gala New Year’s Eve premiere is such a spectacular success, beautifully sung and acted by a splendid cast and chorus, it should secure the opera a place in the repertory for years to come . . .\u00a0The French bass Nicolas Teste rounds out the cast as Nourabad, the high priest who brings Leila to the village.”<\/p>\n

Robert Levine | Bachtrack<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

“In the small but sonorous role of Nourabad, the high priest, Nicolas Test\u00e9 was indeed sonorous.”<\/p>\n

Barry Bassis |\u00a0The Epoch Times<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

“The cast is outstanding . . .\u00a0bass-baritone Nicolas Test\u00e9 is Nourabad. They are all credible actors and outstanding singers.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-press"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nicolasteste.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nicolasteste.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nicolasteste.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nicolasteste.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nicolasteste.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=701"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nicolasteste.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/701\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nicolasteste.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nicolasteste.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nicolasteste.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
