On the soprano side, the moving Joyce El-Khoury, Rouen's Aïda, presents a comparable profile...

– Le Figaro

The beautiful lyric soprano voice develops moments of chiaroscuro, perfectly at ease with piani and control of the vocal line...the artist proves particularly engaging and delivers a nuanced and rich portrayal of the beautiful slave in love.

– Ôlyrix

Her elegance and nobility of embodiment are adorned with magnificent spun high notes...

– Le Monde

Joyce El-Khoury [...] assumes her destiny with panache, whether facing her father or her lover, faithful to her idea of pure love.

– Resmusica

Whether the inflections give shape to an overdosed lost paradise, a dreamy carousel that accepts the death to come, down-to-earth reactivity or resilient aplomb, the soprano is stunning. The beauty of this Aida also comes from her, and for much of it.

The embodiment, however, is touching from start to finish, so much emotion emerges from a melodic design all cantabile and delicate.

– Diapason

The Lebanese/Canadian soprano Joyce El-Khoury elegantly embodied the title role of Tosca. Clad in Pier Luciano Cavallotti’s sophisticated dresses, El-Khoury’s Tosca was visually arresting, her artistic temperament, fidelity, uncontrollable passion and total despair seamlessly exhibited as the drama proceeded.

Joyce debuts the role of Cherubini’s Médée at the Opéra Comique for her Parisian debut.

The Opéra-Comique invites Laurence Equilbey and Marie- Ève Signeyrole to seize the opportunity of this « dramatic music summit » – dixit Brahms – to create the tragic setting and dialectic for Joyce El-Khoury’s Médée. How does one approach this femme fatale archetype in the twenty-first century? Laurence Equilbey and Marie-Éve Signeyrole certainly honoured her.

Médée thought nothing of sacrificing her family for her beloved Jason. Ascended to the throne of Beotia thanks to her, the venturesome Jason strengthens his power by marrying the daughter of Creon, King of Corinth. Médée unleashes her fury, committing the unthinkable crime of killing their two children.

Based in Paris for the last ten years, Cherubini synthesises comic opera drama and lyric tragedy in one of his most powerful scores. Created at the Théâtre Feydeau, a rival institution the Opéra-Comique would soon absorb, Médée was hailed as a European triumph in view of the composer’s reputation.
