Coline Dutilleul, a magnificent Annio in La Clemenza di Tito at the Opéra de Nice Côte d’Azur, demonstrates once again that she is an accomplished Mozartian! Press excerpts:

"Coline Dutilleul (Annio), with her velvety mezzo-soprano and rich lower register, embodies loyalty and tenderness with touching grace." (ClassiqueNews, Emmanuel Andrieu, February 7, 2026)

"Coline Dutilleul’s Annio is superb, with a spirited and characterful « Torna di Tito a lato ». Her duet « Ah, perdona al primo affetto,» with Faustine de Monès’s touching Servilia, is one of the emotional highlights of the evening." (Première Loge, Romaric Hubert, January 31, 2026)

"Annio is interpreted by Coline Dutilleul, a mezzo-soprano with a light tessitura but a solid and resonant voice, with beautiful energy and exemplary diction, as well as a true sense of nuance, to embody this positive figure of a lover and faithful friend." (Olyrix, Joël Heullon, January 31, 2026)

"Coline Dutilleul (Annio) stands out for her luminous singing." (ConcertClassic, Vincent Borel, January 31, 2026)

"Coline Dutilleul gives Annio a burning flame with an admirably resonant « Tu fosti tradito »." (Resmusica, Jean-Luc Clairet, February 4, 2026)

"Coline Dutilleul is convincing as Annio, with her warm and well-projected voice." (Bachtrack, Stéphane Lelièvre, February 1st, 2026)

"Coline Dutilleul conveys the spontaneity and sincerity of this character devoted to Tito; her clear voice is well-placed, as agile and flexible as it should be, and her youthful appearance perfectly complements the post-adolescent impulses that Mozart bestowed upon her." (ForumOpera, Maurice Salles, February 2, 2026)

"Coline Dutilleul (Annio) defends her love tenaciously and interprets her role with passion, musicality, and precision." (Ópera Actual, Jaume Estapà, February 5, 2026)

We are delighted to announce our new collaboration with Arnaud Arbet, an accomplished musician, remarkable pianist, composer, musicologist, and first-class conductor, a tireless explorer of music with a particular affinity for 20th and 21st-century operatic and symphonic repertoires.

His work as musical assistant to György Kurtág, whom he accompanied for five years during the final stages of his opera, Fin de partie, culminating in its premiere at La Scala in Milan in 2018, was a profoundly significant milestone in his career.

Arnaud Arbet has been chosen to conduct the Romanian premiere (in Kurtág's native country) of Fin de partie in 2025, as part of the George Enescu International Festival in Bucharest. It's a huge success.

But Arnaud Arbet's repertoire extends far beyond Fin de partie! He may not have conducted them all yet, but he has studied and knows in depth no fewer than 87 works, from Claudio Monteverdi's L'Orfeo to Olivier Messiaen's Saint-François d'Assise, including Le Nozze di Figaro, Les Contes d’Hoffmann, Salomé, Pelléas et Mélisande and Wozzeck, to name just a few. His symphonic repertoire is no less impressive!

Add to that his kindness, humility, tact and deep respect for each of his interlocutors, and all the ingredients are there to make Arnaud Arbet an ideal working partner.

Welcome, Maestro, and long live our partnership!
