Nancy Opéra - Offenbach - La belle Hélène - Ajax I, King of Salamis

Christophe Poncet de Solages et Virgile Frannais, les deux Ajax, excellents tous deux, le premier écrasant l’autre de toute sa haute stature.

Les deux Ajax sont interprétés par Christophe Poncet de Solages et Virgile Frannais, le plus grand aux allures romaines écrasant le plus petit aux allures napoléonienne, y compris vocalement.

Lyon Opera - Tchaikovsky - The Enchantress - Lukash, merchant guest

Rarement l'Opéra de Lyon aura accueilli plateau vocal si exemplaire et surtout si homogène. Rendons hommage à la cohorte de rôles secondaires qu'il faudrait tous citer, mais dont nous retiendrons Christophe Poncet de Solages...

Toulon Opera - Menotti - Amelia Goes to the Ball - Amelia's lover

Le ténor Christophe Poncet de Solages (l’Amant) projette bien sa voix, y compris dans le grand air lyrique, façon opéra italien.

Rosendal Chamber Music Festival - Alexander Vustin - Zaitsev's letter - Narrator

De las diversas obras de Aleksandr Vustin programadas, causó especial impresión la originalidad de La carta de Zaitsev, una carta real de un preso en la que denunciaba las condiciones inhumanas del sistema carcelario ruso. Leída y cantada frenéticamente por un tenor (magnífico Christophe Poncet de Solages), Vustin teje a su alrededor un denso acompañamiento instrumental para cuerda y percusión que avanza también sin resuello hasta la última nota
 

- Luis Gago , El Pais

This performance was gifted by the recitation of the French tenor Christophe Poncet de Solages. Poncet de Solages did not sing per se and remarkably learnt Russian at high school, but the visceral rhythmic vitality of his interpretation through Sprechstimme and half sung phrases shot through the air with a searing direction aimed straight to our hearts. Poncet de Solanges’s interpretation was a stratigraphic excavation of the thoughts of the distressed prisoner. Theatrical music making of this standard does not get more compelling. Like Bondarenko, Poncet de Solages took us to the place Pärt so aptly seeks – a heart to heart connection that takes us a little above the ground. In this case, the earth rattled.
