Art/Literary - Music / Opera review
French term or phrase: reste en ligne
The meaning is clear, but I can't think of a corresponding idiom: "L’appelle à la mamma est probablement le moment le plus réussi de l’opéra : [MG] charge le chant d’un certain pathétisme qui reste en ligne avec le personnage ; sa diction est parfaite, son articulation très claire."

Explanation:
There are, as David correctly points out, so many possibilities, but this wasn't on his list and would be my personal preference.

Inva Mula, who I last saw singing wonderfully in the Paris Opera’s revision and restoration of Gounod’s almost forgotten Mireille (on Blu-ray), is in even finer voice here as Marguerite, her French pretty much faultless, her singing glorious, appropriate and in keeping with her character.

Explanation:
