With a very moving opening aria, Pauline Sabatier offers us the full
range of her velvet voice and still displays the musical and
emotional qualities we had already enjoyed in her striking
performance as Lazuli in L’Étoile de Chabrier at the Opéra du Rhin
in 2008.

The pair of lovers – an opening night revelation – is irresistible.
Pauline Sabatier’s transvestite Lazuli has a superb conquering
energy and her voice a fascinating colour.

Amongst the ladies, the most moving voice no doubt is that of
Pauline Sabatier in the role of Lazuli : pure and souple, it was
particularly striking in the "Romance de l’Étoile".

Pauline Sabatier lends her beautiful fruity voice and ravishing
features to the role of Lazuli.

scrumptuous looks and the harmony of their voices.

a captivatingly graceful mezzo-soprano.

Last winter, we had the opportunity to assess the qualities of Pauline Sabatier in a Mozart recital produced by the Opéra Studio of the Opéra National du Rhin. They are all confirmed by her performances of Zerlina’s "Batti, batti, o bel Masetto" and of "Amour, viens rendre mon âme" (from Gluck’s Orphée et Eurydice, revised by Berlioz) : homogeneity of sound, clarity of diction and vocal agility are all blooming.

Pauline Sabatier’s Lisetta proves to be an efficient mezzo voice.

The mezzo-soprano Pauline Sabatier (Marianne) makes a fine
dramatic journey : first a surly spinster, she gradually lights up as
the happy end gets closer.

We commend Pauline Sabatier’s work, her impeccable vocal
projection and very fine phrasing.
Forum opera - Romain Louveau - Requiem pour une nuit
Amongst the singers, we shall remember the elegance of the
mezzo-soprano Pauline Sabatier.

The two mezzo-sopranos Pauline Sabatier and Eve Maud Hubeaux
(the twins), opened this Martyre with a bare and archaic duet,
proving their perfectly commanded voices to be as much twins as
their roles are. The artistic success of the concert deserves a
commercial recording.
La libre - Le martyre de Saint Sébastien
Amongst the vocal ensemble gathered by the conductor, we noticed
some beautiful performances (…) such as Pauline Sabatier’s, which
transcended the Benedictus.
Classiquenews - Hélène Biard
Pauline Sabatier’s and Charlotte Dellion’s free-spirited Lisetta and
Clarice (budding Dorabella and Fiordiligi) are at their best at the
start, with as much remarkable stage presence as beautiful singing
technique and musicality.

"Lord, how stupid men can be" is obvious, yet if you consider the
dazzling looks of the commanding creature who tames them in
"J’ai deux amants" (from Messager’s L’Amour Masqué), you can’t
really blame them.

Attractive Dorabella by Pauline Sabatier, in tip-top shape.
DNA - Christian Fruchart - Requiem pour une nuit "Opéra National du Rhin"
The mezzo-soprano Pauline Sabatier, who is an impeccable
Dorabella, has a beautifully moving voice.

Nadine Descendre, the Artistic Director, chose the supernatural as a
leitmotiv for this edition, as shown by a lied by Schubert sung by the
young and promising mezzo-soprano Pauline Sabatier.
