“…Benjamin Bernheim triumphs, a new star in the firmament of French tenors…”

Mais triomphe surtout notre Benjamin Bernheim national, nouvel astre au firmament des ténors français, le plus solaire titulaire du rôle-titre entendu depuis Roberto Alagna. La ciselure des mots épouse un chant à la plasticité sidérante, passant avec la même aisance des éclats héroïques à la confidence élégiaque, par la magie d’un aigu tour à tour rayonnant ou filé pianissimo : ce soir, Faust est vainqueur.

[But above all our compatriot Benjamin Bernheim triumphs, a new star in the firmament of French tenors, the most triumphant interpretation of the title role heard since Roberto Alagna. The carving of the words marries a song with astonishing plasticity, passing with the same ease from heroic outbursts to elegiac confidence, through the magic of a high note that is alternately radiating or spun pianissimo: this evening, Faust is the winner.]
