Léontine Maridat-Zimmerlin

"The undisputed protagonist of the evening was the voice of the young Léontine Maridat-Zimmerlin, a lyric mezzo-soprano with a luminous timbre and effortless top notes, whose freshness of tone and excellent diction make her an ideal interpreter for this kind of repertoire."

Mundo Clasico – Seville Concert – February 2025

"Mezzo Léontine Maridat-Zimmerlin presents Rosina's aria from Rossini's The Barber of Seville with great poise. One is struck first by a warm, powerful voice and an undeniable presence. The intentions and impulses she gives to each phrase are quite admirable."

ResMusica – Adami Concert – July 2025

"Léontine Maridat-Zimmerlin had impressed at the Génération Opéra auditions a few months ago. She confirms the talent she revealed then, shaping a delightfully mischievous Cherubino whose stage portrayal feeds the singing. She is helped in this by a slender yet intense voice, well produced, with a bright timbre."

Olyrix – The Marriage of Figaro – March 2025

"Léontine Maridat-Zimmerlin distinguishes herself with an intense Idamante (Idomeneo), before bringing the house down thanks to a Helen (La Belle Hélène) as sumptuous in timbre as it is homogeneous of voice, and always admirably intelligible."

Opéra Magazine – 7th "Raymond Duffaut" Competition – November 2023

"If a prize had to be awarded at the end of this audition, it would probably go to Léontine Maridat-Zimmerlin (add her to your Ôlyrix favorites!). Very at ease in her rapport with the audience, she imbues her interpretation with her evidently sparkling personality. Her face is expressive and every note finds meaning, allowing her to hold the audience's attention. Her silvery-toned voice is incisive and well produced, demonstrating technical qualities that add to her theatrical talent."

Olyrix – Génération Opéra – December 2024

"Léontine Maridat-Zimmerlin is an adorable Cherubino."
