Her voice climbs and climbs, it seems without limit. In one those dramatic abysses so favoured in opera, Gloria Tronel plays the singer Leticia Maynar, one of the characters in The Exterminating Angel, currently playing at the Opera Bastille under the baton of its composer, Thomas Ades. The tessitura of her coloratura mounts towards stratospheric high notes, like a rocket through the layers that separate her from terra firma - La Croix
