Mireille shone as the iconic flirt Zerlina in Garsington Opera’s production of Mozart’s Don Giovanni. Here are some press clippings:

---

“Mireille Asselin is a lot easier on the ear as a knowing Zerlina, flirting with Masetto’s friends even as she makes amends to him in Batti, batti.” The Times (Richard Morrison)

---

“Mireille Asselin’s Zerlina was… an interesting characterization, with little hint of gullible peasant but plenty of practicality. Her lovely, silvery soprano was a pleasure to hear… This was the ladies’ evening… only the scenes with the sopranos seemed to take fire… the music is sublime, and you’ll get to hear an Elvira, Zerlina and Ottavio who would be at home on any stage anywhere in the world.” Music Ohm (Melanie Eskenazi)

“Mireille Asselin’s Zerlina was engaging throughout – with its excellent cello solo, ‘Batti, batti’ became one of the highlights of the evening.” Opera Magazine, August 2019 issue (Roger Parker)

---

“Mireille Asselin and Thomas Faulkner were excellent as the troubled lovers Zerlina and Masetto.” Bachtrack (Mark Valencia)

“The wedding couple, Masetto (Thomas Faulkner) and Zerlina (Mireille Asselin) made a perfect match; Zerlina’s beautifully clear singing in “Batti, batti” was notably enhanced by cellist Helena Binney’s fluid accompaniment.” The Henley Standard (Maureen Idowu)

---

“Mireille Asselin’s Zerlina has lovely warmth and sweetness.” The Independent (Michael Church)

“Mireille Asselin’s Zerlina was a very different kettle of fish. A working class woman who has to use all her wiles to maintain her place and dignity, as much within her own people as with the wider social world.” Lark Reviews (Dr. Brian Hick)
