Le Concours OSM Finals
La Maison SymphoniqueNov 2025What 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.
Carmen
Brott OperaGabrielle 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.
