The Four Seasons
Boismortier (Spring)
Disc released in February 2025
"The voice of Spring, the soprano, tangy, agile, very brilliant, and with a delightful clarity, is that of the Parisian Sarah Charles. She expresses all the graces and seductions of the springtime nature, evoking the idyllic harmony between enchanted woods and thickets, and languid, love-struck shepherds, all the more curious and awakened with the return of the young Flora – the goddess of spring.
A true nightingale, both intoxicated and incandescent, the singer captivates in the 7 sequences of Spring, the first season of a cycle that promises to be very appealing. Sarah Charles embodies all the exquisite elegance of naiads, languid shepherdesses, and dryads... which her precise and smooth singing evokes with refinement."

Sosarme, Ré di Media
Handel (Elmira) Salon d’Hercule, Palace of Versailles With the Orchestra of the Royal Opera of Versailles
"A member of the Royal Opera Academy, the young French soprano Sarah Charles is the revelation of the evening, portraying a radiant, inventive Elmira, excellent in the ornamentation of the reprises, and dramatically fierce"
"Sarah Charles, a great discovery of the evening, is truly impressive: she displays an agile, warm, precise, and controlled timbre, delivering a perfectly fitting interpretation."
"The young Sarah Charles performs the role of Belinda with the brilliance of a light voice, like a nightingale, with a vibrato perfectly controlled, as well as all the trills and ornamentations required by this music. Her diction is pure and precise, her timbre warm, and the singer seems made for the Baroque repertoire."
"Sarah Charles' Belinda is sublime in her high vocal range and the brightness of her articulation. One can hear what the Baroque repertoire demands in terms of vocal purity and clarity."
"Light that also brings forth the Belinda of Sarah Charles, a gem of pure musicality."
"Light that also brings forth the Belinda of Sarah Charles, a gem of pure musicality."
"Sarah Charles' agile and flexible Belinda is adorned with a vibrato of remarkable beauty."

Festival de Saint-Céré, Auguste 2022
"Sarah Charles is Monique, aka Ninon, Viviane's so-called cousin, the emancipated organizer of the evening. From her first aria ("Un' p'tite poule"), her well-timbred voice manages to be both sharp and fleshy, like a not-so-shy maiden."
