The best singing of the evening on November 18 came from Julie Robard-Gendre as Ghita, principal lady-in-waiting to the Infanta. With sure, penetrating mezzo timbre, Robard-Gendre appealed for the humiliation of the dwarf to stop. Her final confrontation with Vidal’s broken man was the most moving moment of the evening; she expressed love and respect for the character as she passed him the white rose given to him by the Infanta.
STEPHEN J.MUDGE/OPERANEWS/NOV 2017
"A l’égocentrisme de l’Infante répond l’empathie de sa suivante, Ghita, que Julie Robard-Gendre colore de toute la palette de son art. Velouté, sensualité d’une voix d’or sombre, franchise de l’émission, justesse de l’incarnation, elle complète magnifiquement le trio des protagonistes du drame. »
