“Gollaud (Stephane Degout) has Lanièce for half-brother. The young baritone has a tone extremely clear, simply tinted with dark pointillist style. His vibrato is well defined, including in controlled bass. Above all, his prosody is both musical and theatrical, enhanced by a meticulous legato. "
Olyrix, October 2018, Pelléas et Mélisande
Olyrix, October 2018, Pelléas et Mélisande
“Pelleas is performed by Jean-Christophe Lanièce, whose voice seduces with the beauty of a brilliant and warm tone that is ideally suited to the goodness of Pelleas. His diction reveals a sensible understanding of the text: the music also passes by the intelligence of the words made audible. “

“Jean-Christophe Lanièce sings Marcel with a beautiful airy voice and an clear phrasing. His highs are bright and his bass well structured”
Olyrix, July 2018, Bohème, notre jeunesse
"(...) the fearsome Nekrotzar (...) finds in Jean-Christophe Lanièce a performer of high quality. His beautiful, well-posed and distinctive baritone voice, with excellent pronunciation, makes the ambitious part of this multi-faceted character. "

“And above all, Jean-Christophe Lanièce reveals in addition to his known talents of singer a phenomenal actor's charisma. Moreover, the voice seems different in Italian, less centered on the color and more on the brightness.”
