REVIEWS

Handel's Chandos Anthems- Royal Chapel of Versailles

During his solo interventions, Nicholas Scott exposes a brilliant, homogeneous and powerful voice with ease. Serving above all the expressiveness of his singing. His language work is attentive and patent, the text always clear and with a pronunciation of 18th century English.

Emmanuel Deroeux, Olyrix, 27th May 2021

Platée hors de son bocage - Théâtre des Champs-Elysées

Nicholas Scott en Thespis puis Mercure. Vraie voix de haute-contre, à l’aigu homogène et sonore, au français presque irréprochable, il campe un dieu virevoltant et fantasque avec ce qu’il faut de comique sans pour autant sacrifier à la beauté du chant. En termes de rires du public, il remporte la mise haut la main.
