Small memories of a great production : Mozart's La Clemenza di Tito, at the Liceu in Barcelona, in a staging by David McVicar.
Stephanie, very well surrounded, performed Sesto, one of her most beautiful and greatest roles and it was - it must be said - a real triumph!

We all know Stephanie, accomplished lyric artist (below the pictures of the evening concert in Strasbourg) or teacher at the Pont Supérieur of Rennes, discover Stephanie transmitting her love of opera (always in Strasbourg) to 8/10 year old children. Exchanges with the little ones, extracts of Carmen, la Périchole or Berlioz.
The children participate with joy, Stéphanie sitting among them.
A simple, pure and rewarding moment
With children...

A change of scene for Stéphanie, with the concert version of the opera "Hippolyte et Aricie" given at the TCE in Paris. Marked by a complicity between the artists and excellent interpretations !
