“Nicolas Testé, a voice of bronze with perfect diction, proposes a Nourabad that is severe and intractable, blinded by his religious convictions.”

“A near-constant presence around Léïla is the towering figure of forbidding high priest Nourabad, played by Damrau’s real-life husband Nicolas Testé. The tall French bass-baritone does not have an aria as such but the solid, dark timbre of his voice coalesces successfully with his authoritarian manner.”
