GABRIELLE TURGEON SOPRANO
"What came across from the very first phrase was the sheer quality of the instrument. This is a full lyric voice that already has the sheen of a seasoned professional, with a natural chiaroscuro and an ease in the upper register that allows the sound to bloom without strain. The timbre is generous, round and luminous, and it filled Maison Symphonique without apparent effort. There is also something visceral in her stage presence. Turgeon commits physically and emotionally, but the vocal line always remains controlled."
-Adrian Rodriguez, La Scena Musicale
"The first Montreal appearance of violinist Chouchane Siranossian with Arion Baroque was expected to be the highlight of the musical weekend. But it is the revelation of Ontario soprano Gabrielle Turgeon, winner of the OSM Competition, that will be remembered first and foremost...We dare to hope the decision was unanimous, as Gabrielle Turgeon dominated the debates, particularly with her rendition of "O Quante Volte" from Bellini's I Capuleti ei Montecchi...This 24-year-old soprano with a rich voice has joined the Los Angeles Opera's Domingo Colburn Stein Young Artist Program for two years...We look forward to seeing her again with great interest at the OSM..."
-Christophe Huss, Le Devoir
"Gabrielle Turgeon was a vocally strong Micaëla, and “Je dis que rien ne m’épouvante” was particularly suited to her commanding style and was one of the highlights of the evening."
-Dawn Martens, Opera Canada
