  • Andrea Chenier

    Salzburg
    Aug 2025 - Aug 2025
    • On remarque tout particulièrement Armand Rabot, baryton en devenir, dont l’ampleur vocale laisse présager un bel avenir.

  • Curlew River

    Cambridge Summer Music
    Jul 2025 - Jul 2025
    • Armand Rabot almost stole the show as the ferryman. He had immense power in his bass baritone and brought a nuanced reading to the role – even the odd flash of cynical humour in this largely dark and unsettling opera. Oliver Bowes also brought the character of the sympathetic traveller to life – powerfully sung and delicately portrayed.
