Immensely important in an opera that includes scenes where God is heard to speak and in which miracles take place is the lighting, and lighting designer Fabrice Kebour proves more than equal to the task with some of the most striking lighting effects seen in opera, dealing superbly with its many difficulties.

Les éclairages de Fabrice Kebour transforment magiquement le jour en nuit, en aube, en orage.
Fabrice Kebour's lights transform magically day to night, into dawn, into a storm.
Olyrix Paula Gaubert May 2017
Ce décor se construit autour du sublime éclairage de Fabrice Kebour, basé sur un mouvement presque continu mais diffus de jeux de lumières, évocation lointaine de vagues calmes et apaisantes,
This set is built around the sublime lighting of Fabrice Kebour, based on an almost continuous but diffuse movement of lights, a distant evocation of calm and soothing waves,
ResMusica Charlotte Saulneron-Saadou May 2017
…de véritables tableaux vivants, certains inspirés de la peinture hollandaise, et jusqu’ à la dernière scène de Leonard de Vinci, sous les magnifiques éclairages de Fabrice Kebour, introduisant ainsi une dimension dramatique complémentaire et sans que rien de ceci ne paraisse artificiel ou fabriqué.
…true living pictures, some inspired by Dutch painting, and up to the last scene of Leonardo da Vinci, under the magnificent lighting of Fabrice Kebour, thus introducing a complementary dramatic dimension and without any of this appearing artificial or fabricated
ForumOpera Claude Jottrand March 2017
Fabrice Kebour, the lighting designer, is one of the greatest assets in the production. His elegant and ethereal lighting cast such an inviting and mysterious glow upon each scene, that it was hard to distinguish from a multi-million dollar Hollywood film.

riviera-buzz NATJA IGNEY April 2016
Fabrice Kebour’s lighting design, more than in most operas, is central to the look of The Passenger, and it expertly draws the viewer in with the sickly yellows and harsh spotlights of the death camp, and the full illumination of the ship, which lends those scenes a sterile, icy prosperity.
palm beach arts paper Greg Stepanich on 03 April 2016.
Il faut attendre les scènes intimes du deuxième acte pour qu'enfin la magie opère, grâce notamment au travail très élaboré de Fabrice Kebour sur les lumières qui suggère avec beaucoup de subtilité les espaces du lupanar où Theodora a été jetée ou l'ambiance nocturne des réunions clandestines des croyants et verse sur l'ensemble une coloration orientalisante du plus bel effet.
Thanks to the elaborate work of Fabrice Kebour Lights suggesting with great subtlety the spaces of the brothel where Theodora was thrown or the nightlife of clandestine meetings of believers and pours.

les hésitations, la peur, la confiance, la force aussi, tout cela est sur scène, magnifié par les sublimes lumières de Fabrice Kebour.

Le tout est baigné dans la très belle lumière, presque métaphysique et spirituelle de Fabrice Kebour.

Dans l’ombre, on ne manque pas d’applaudir le travail remarquable de la lumière de Fabrice Kebour qui perce à travers les moucharabiehs d’Andrew D Edward .
The remarkable work of Fabrice Kebour’s lighting that pierces through Andrew Edward D’s moucharabiehs
etat-critique.com juillet 2015
«Les éclairages très étudiés de Fabrice Kebour font évoluer l’appareil scénographique (par exemple, au second acte, en révélant dans la masse sculptée du décor des figures démoniaques chevauchant des dragons) et contribuent également à la réussite de cette mise en scène plastiquement superbe.
“The precise lighting designed by Fabrice Kebour are transforming the space and contribute to the success of this visually stunning staging.”
ResMusica Michel Thomé Juin 2015
«Devant cette dentelle infranchissable laissant deviner l’extérieur, l’inaccessible sur lequel on se risque tout au plus à entrouvrir de temps à autre une fenêtre, se déroule l’action, au sein d’un espace à l’austérité monacale, sculpté par les superbes lumières de Fabrice Kebour.
“Before this impassable lace hinting the unreachable freedom on which we may at most partially open from time to time a window, the action takes place in a monastic space, sculpted by beautiful lighting from Fabrice Kebour.”
Fou de Théâtre Thomas Baudeau Mai 2015
«Bref, tout est beau et profond dans ce spectacle où même la splendeur de la scénographie d’Andrew D Edwards, subtilement éclairée par Fabrice Kebour, n’a rien d’ornemental puisqu’elle ne fait que prolonger le geste de Garcia Lorca : conférer à l’enfer une beauté salvatrice.
“Everything is beautiful and deep in this show where even the splendor of the scenery Andrew D Edwards, subtly lit by Fabrice Kebour, carries out the vision that Garcia Lorca : confering to hell a saving beauty.”

« Et ce moucharabié géant d’où filtrent des lumières distillées avec brio, tandis que les jeunes filles s’y accrochent comme des papillons, attirés par la lumière extérieure, jusqu’à s’y bruler.
“And that giant lace wall where light brilliantly passes through, while young girls cling on it like moths attracted by the outside light.”
L’Humanité Marie-José Sirach June 2015
« Chez Michaël Levinas, la proximité entre l’Aviateur et l’enfant aux cheveux blonds prend une tournure émotionnelle. Assis côte à côte, ils s’émerveillent des couchers de soleil (très belles lumières de Fabrice Kebour).
“In Michaël Levinas' work, the proximity between the aviator and the child with blond hair takes an emotional turn. Sitting side by side, they marvel at the sunsets (very beautiful lights Fabrice Kebour).”
Le Temps Julian Sykes November 2014
A beautiful effect from lighting designer Fabice Kebour enables the audience to witness the sun slowly disappear over Egypt, as the plague of darkness strikes. As God lifts the plague, another clever piece of lighting from Kebour enables the audience to share in the experience of being freed from the darkness.
Jacqui Onions The review hub october 2014
« Lighting Deisgn by Fabrice Kebour is wondrously atmospheric and moody for the entirety of the production. From the moment the orchestra begins to play the overture and all that is lit is the curtain until the final washes of opulent blues at the end of Act II, every cue is meticulously programmed to be severely meaningful. Throughout a majority of the production the lighting elements are stark and harsh, illuminating the disregard for humanity within the opera's story. Yet, the most interesting and affective lighting choice comes from the manual operation of searchlights in the Auschwitz scenes. This choice ingeniously forces the audience to recognize the danger, fear, and cruelty of the prison camp in an inventively nonverbal way.»
Broadway World David Clarke January 2014
« The barracks and Liese's cabin trundle around from the sides of the stage like carriages on train tracks, an Auschwitz trope that is no less chilling for being so familiar. Fabrice Kebour's lighting is especially powerful in its limning of these two different worlds. Glaring searchlights on guard towers snap on when the prisoners are under immediate threat, and light is wielded like a weapon when Marta backs Liese down the stairs from the deck into Auschwitz for the climactic concert.»
The Wall Street Journal Heidi Waleson January 2014
« Dana Rowe's musical adaptation of John Updike's Witches of Eastwick marked a definite change of pace on the main stage the next day, with a show band in the pit, flying witches and other special effects onstage, and imaginative lighting by Fabrice Kebour. »
Opera News Sylvia l’Ecuyer August 2013
 Dazu liefert Fabrice Kebour die passenden Lichteffekte, die den langsam einbrechenden abendlichen Hell-Dunkel-Effekt geschickt nutzen und das Futuristische der Inszenierung betonen.
« In addition, Fabrice Kebour provides the suitable light effects that cleverly use the slowly breaking evening clair-obscur effect and emphasise the futuristic staging.»
Opernnetz Horst Dichanz July 2013
"A visual feast, compliments of director David Pountney, choreographer Amir Hosseinpour, and Anne Marie Legenstein, who created the bewildering array of delightfully bizarre costumes. Fabrice Kebour’s lighting — cold and dreary blues, alternating with jarring brightness — were also effective.»
Washington Post 12 April 2013
l’esthétisme japonais un rien sévère offre un cadre dramaturgique proche de l’abstraction évitant tout cliché, et au demeurant admirablement éclairé. 
"The japanese aesthetic offers an abstract dramatic concept that avoids cliches, morover admirably lit"
Altamusica Yannick Millon 18 Juin 2012
"The scale of the production is almost overwhelming; Johan Engels' design cleverly juxtaposes the luxury of the bourgeois ship with the grit of the concentration camps. This is helped in no small part by Fabrice Kebour’s striking, almost genius, lighting design."
Stagewon.co.uk Matt Jessup 23 Septembre 2011
"David Pountney's production, premiered at Bregenz, is amazing. Visually it's so striking that it takes your breath away. This production, with designs by Johan Engels, costumes by Marie-Jeanne  Lecca and lighting by Fabrice Kebour  makes the best possible case for this opera."
Instantencore.com Richard Whitehouse 20 Septembre 2011
"...Fabrice Kebour’s lighting that itself points out such contrasts between the pristine and corrupt. As an integrated concept placed at the service of the drama, this will be hard to equal."
Classicalsource.com Richard Whitehouse Septembre 2011
"Johan Engels's sets, Marie-Jeanne Lecca's costumes and the light/airy and dark/dank aspects of Fabrice Kebour's lighting are impressive and singularly serving of the opera itself."

Le décor, épuré et massif, de Rifail Ajdarpasic, constitué de sombres panneaux semblables à de la lave ou du bronze, et la lumière très subtilement dosée de Fabrice Kebour crée une atmosphère inquiète.
" Rifail Ajdarpasic’s massive set made of dark panels similar to larva or bronze, and Fabrice Kebour’s very subtly adjusted lighting create the uncanny atmosphere."
Les Echos Philippe Venturini 24 February 2011
Les références à Goya et à ses atmosphères lourdes et pesantes sont perceptibles jusque dans une direction d’acteurs d’une rare intensité, évitant soigneusement toute vulgarité, d’une violence toute contenue, à la cruauté encore accentuée par des éclairages très crus mais d’une grande beauté.
"The references to Goya and his heavy atmospheres are perceptible in a directing of a rare intensity, carefully avoiding any vulgarity, of a contained violence, and whose cruelty is underlined by the harsh lighting of great beauty."
Classiquenews.com Nicolas Grienenberger 21 February 2011
Lumière et vidéo de Fabrice Kebour ajoutent les effets de pluie, de nuit, de neige d’écran, quelque chose qui sans cesse angoise...On cite tout le monde car il y a une cohérence très grande dans ce travail, ce grand travail réglé comme une pièce musicale.

Le décor reste simple, à la fois irréel et concret. Virtuosité des éclairages, intuition irréprochable et sensible du geste: Pountney va brillamment jusqu’au bout d’un projet qui restera, sans aucun doute, comme l’événement majeur de son mandat à Bregenz.
«The set is simple, both unreal and concrete. Virtuosity of the lighting, faultless intuition and sensitivity of the concept: Pountney takes brilliantly to completion a project that will, undoubtedly, remain as the major event of his mandate in Bregenz.»

"Les éclairages de Fabrice Kebour sont raffinés. Quelques scènes sont d'une grande beauté visuelle, telle que l'apparition de la lune au 1er acte baignée d'une lumière bleutée vraiment irréelle. Cette mise en scène est peut-être ce que nous avons vue de mieux en ce lieu..."
Concerto.net Marc Ferré July 1997
"Tout au long du spectacle, les éclairages de Fabrice Kebour jouent un rôle essentiel, interprétant les indications de Wagner, que les décors stylisés de Johan Engels illustrent sans les trahir." 
Opéra International Bruno Villien Decembre 1996
"...La magia delle luci di Fabrice kebour accompagnerà tutto il ciclo del Ring."
Radiotre Roberto Grassi 21 Octobre 1996
"...durant le prélude, la salle est baignée et bercée par les flots du fleuve portés sur les ailes d'un laser turquoise jouant sur des volutes de fumigènes. Le rayon s'élève peu à peu jusqu'au dernier balcon en sorte que toute la salle se trouve plongée au fond du Rhin au moment précis où apparaissent ses trois filles. C'est efficace et poétique à la fois."
Le Figaro Jacques Doucelin 15 Octobre 1996
"La si courte scène de la caverne, où le plancher se lève, et la remontée vers le soleil, avec ses belles lumières, sont d'une rare poésie."
Opéra International Christophe Ghristi May 1996
