Crebassa is in tremendous voice throughout, her lower registers dark and burnished, her top notes warm, clear and effortless...Outstanding, every single second of it.
October 2021
It will come as no surprise to anyone who fell in love with her voluptuous Secrets a few years ago that Crebassa makes such a sensual, nuanced Carmen (a role she's yet to sing on stage), but she also displays a hitherto-unrevealed gift for comedy and rapid-fire patter in the excerpts from Offenbach's La Périchole, whilst Concepción's pent-up sexual frustration in the scene from Ravel's L'heure espagnole registers loud and clear.
28th November 2021
Crebassa is one of the most striking young singers from across the channel. With her luminous top, plummy middle and inky chest notes, the French mezzo might have been born to sing Bizet’s Carmen.
