"For her first major role at the Opéra de Québec, soprano Jessica Latouche, as the blonde Rosaline, was not lacking in spice, torn between her marital fidelity, her flirtation with Alfred and her jealousy over her husband's escapades. This gave us some delicious duets, including that of Eisenstein's departure in the first act, the scene of the watch and the brilliant czardas of the costume ball, sung in German with aplomb." - Irène Brisson, revue l'Opéra, May 2024 ( The Bat , J. Strauss II, Opéra de Québec, Nicolas Ellis, conductor, Bertrand Alain, director) - https://www.revuelopera.quebec/critiques/2024/05/critique-quand-la-chauve-souris-fait-bon-menage-avec-batman
