Il Barbiere di Siviglia – Rosina
As Rosina, the slim Adèle Charvet is vocally voluptuous. Her mezzo timbre is soft and round, beautifully balanced, and her radiant face comunicates a sincere joy of playing the character. The aria « una voce poco fa » which is delivered with an unshakable virtuosity, is filled with ornaments, but the emotion is never fake : her anger, her suffering, her boredom and her desire, are immediate. She goes from joy to sigh, and suddenly transforms this opera buffa into an opera seria - Paula Gaubert - Olyrix

Concert de clôture de l’Académie du Festival d’Aix-en-Provence
THE FRENCH mezzo Adèle Charvet masters a difficult score, filled with outbursts and formidable silence. It seems like her amber timbre wraps itself around the solo basset Horn. She was one of the triumphs of the concert. Florence Lethurgez Olyrix

Stabat Mater (Haydn)
We are impressed by Adele Charvet’s round and powerful voice. We are truly moved by the « Fac Me Vere, as she truly renders the Lagrimoso written by Haydn. Her duet with soprano Florie Valiquette is perfect. Yvan Beuvard - ForumOpera
