As part of MOSF 2022, she performed the roles of Gilda in Rigoletto (Verdi) and Mimì in La Bohème (Puccini). In the Winter of 2023, Marion took on the role of Rosalinde in Die Fledermaus by Strauss II at the University of Montreal. During the summer of 2023, Marion sang the role of Violetta Valéry in Verdi's La traviata and covered Lucia in Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor (MOSF 2023). In February 2024, she sang the role of Die Königin der Nacht in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte at University of Montreal.
She has real strength and theatricality in her voice. Her extension is secure and resonant. She is very driven and strong in personality, and willing to sacrifice for her artistic development. - JACK LIVIGNI
