This is what the papers say about Sylvie's Abigaille  at San Diego Opera (a more extensive collection of reviews about the production will follow soon in the "Reviews" section of this website):

“Evening’s top vocal honors must go to French soprano Sylvie Valayre as Abigaille”
“her performance (...) is nothing short of magnificent”
“her voice is more than just powerful; it is also radiant and supple, and she is utterly comfortable in the high
tessitura demanded by the role.”
“Her lyrical soliloquy at the beginning of Act II permits her to demonstrate a lush and almost delicate vocal quality”
San Diego News Network

“an incredible performance of a role that takes survival skills to perform”
Opera Warhorses

“the agility was impressive, especially during intricate coloratura passages”
“a force of nature”
SDNN

“Her high pianissimo is extraordinary, she is a fine actor”
San Diego News

“most impressive in her ability to not only convey the complexity of the character, but also in tackling its technical and artistic problems.”
San Diego Jewish World
