 In September, Marion performed the role of Cherubino, in Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro, with the very fine Silver Cast of this Opera Lyra production. The Silver Cast show was implemented by Opera Lyra to give emerging opera singers the opportunity to perform in a fully-staged production, with the NAC orchestra, in Southam Hall at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa.
Appealing to the audiences of tomorrow, Opera Lyra filled the house with very enthusiastic and attentive youth of elementary and secondary schools from the Ottawa area.
BBC REVIEWS GRISELDA
 Marion's recording of Vivaldi's Griselda has been favourably reviewed in the May issus of BBC Music Magazine.
The CD was given four stars and labeled a "BBC Music Choice" for the month. Reviewer Nicholas Anderson found it a "rewarding performance" overall, and highlighted Marion, calling her a "show stealer".
