This is great and Natalie Dessay is great, isn't she? Marie fits her to a T (as do a lot of roles.:-)).Watching and listening oher on these postings takes me back to my own participation as a chorus member in "Daughter" in the late'80's. _ Prince George's (MD) Opera, now defunctSummer Opera (DC)also peformed it in the early '90's. I didn't do that one, but I ushereed at 3 or 4 of those performances. And I loved every one of them. I kept trying to cue the singers from the auditorium. :-)

If I had gone to this dismal affair, I would have demanded a refund at the box office. Oh, look, Natalie on the bench! Natalie held in mid-air! Natalie overparted, once again! Humorless gimmicks and antics and what is that ending, a gang rape?

I agree.

Ditto.

Too true! I think she's the only colouratura that nails "Pale et blonde" perfectly in a technical respect, for example. (Callas being the other example, but her high notes aren't as stunning)

To those who criticize: First of all this is a comic opera, so the point is being funny. Second: Dessay as many other singers spend a lot of time rehearsing, training and studying music, so it's funny that a bunch of amateur youtubbers come here to make judgement about it like they were musical geniouses.

Natalie, surly you are greater as a soprano, but you should play the piano more often :DDDDDDD

Ah yes....

It is not customary to post a comment, then to post another comment saying how wonderful the first comment is!

Bravo! That´s the best comment I read about this absurd production of a beautiful belcanto opera!
