Natalie Dessay - Hamlet - Ophelia scene (scene - end)

[isabelbleuet]

J'étais dans le chieur en coulisses, quel merveilleux souvenir! Merci Mme Dessay!

[isabelbleuet]

@isabelbleuet

lol dans le CHOEUR pardon!!!!

[AminaBellini]

She is amazing!!! and the music is so tender and beautifull!!!!!

[CKS1618]

Trop beau..... "doute de la lumière.... doute du soleil.... mais jamais de mon amour...."

[vipate]

I saw this rendition in Paris. There was a 10 minute open-scene standing ovation!!! simply fabulous! Is this commercially availabe? I did not see in Amazon.

[wmyroslaw]

Наталі Дессе на тільки блискуча співачка, а й велика акторка, як в трагедійних, так і в комедійних ролях.

[Arcjo1]

L'Amour partagé est sublime...quand il ne l'est pas...c'est l'abîme!!!! Merci!!!!!

[Kivimusic]

the music is so beautiful

[Sarashka1]

C'est incroyable, Nathalie Dessay a une voie tres particuliere, et elle chante merveilleusement bien!

[ChristineFlora]

Dessay is a goddess & the greatest interpreter of the French repertoire since Lily Pons.

[papoocanada]

on s'en foute de la prognathe Sutherland, elle n'a jamais prononcé une seule parole de ses roles .........quelle comparaison quand même ! Brava Dessay sans oublier Thomas, une de ses plus belles partitions.

[Homoclassicus]

@papoocanada Always the same old and exaggerated complaining about diction (due to the simple fact there is little else that could rationally be complained about). When will the critics of Joan Sutherland find another argument besides three words (diction, mushy and, the most ridiculous of all, "cold")? Come on, be more creative and criticize instead of repeating for the 5000th time the same "General Anti-Sutherland Criticism Gun"... :-P

[WANK83]

Très jolie voix. On est néanmoins très loin de la puissance vocale d'une Joan Sutherland dans le même rôle avec 20 ans de plus...

Regards from New York

[suzanneetmoi]

WOW! After watching all three parts, I am exhausted. She is amazing, wonderful, terrific,et al!

[tcradical]

She is the best, no doubt!!!!

[sakura123321123]

i hate to admit but this video always makes me cry....

[RosieHamster]

Poor Ophelia, she went crazy all because Hamlet killed Polonious by accident. I feel sorry for her

[babyjane85388]

@RosieHamster Excuse me if the opera is different (I haven't had a chance to see it sadly enough) but in the play it kind of felt like she was just used and the one person she thought loved her told her to go away, and he went insane.

Is the opera different?

[killerbunny123123]

i like it how this aria resemples so much the "pale et blonde" one but it is more melancholic...and Dessay is not human, she is a step upper than human and a step lower than god

[47viviane]

dear killerbunny (strange nickname you fa an of glen close?) of course it does resemble the scene before because that's what a "reprise" is about - it picks up the theme and draws the scene to it's (and sadly her) end - what a genius Thomas was

[velazquez2009]

tout simplement enorme.

[lumikide]

concepisco si possa cantare in questo modo, concepisco che si possa recitare in questo modo... ma cantare e recitare così è troppo per un essere umano!

i can believe one can sing or act like this... but both sing and act! It's too much 4a human being

[BellatrixNellieLovet]

beautiful

[sopran21]

Everytime I watch this video I can't stop crying and It makes me think and understand very clearly why I love natalie so much.

Wonderfull actress, wonderfull singer and wonderfull artist.

[Ichichan0326]

The music is so beautiful... And Natalie Dessay is amazing, as always! ♥

[isinglouderthanu]

my god what a magnificent performance by an angel from God!!! Her voice soars in this performance... that last note kills me everytime... and the symbolism of Ophelia turning behind the black curtain is ASTOUNDING!!!

[Klassizismus]

That is great art! Natalie Dessay in one of her best roles!

[youfeda]

che bellezza!

[swanknightmitchan]

That's it, I've been converted. Natalie Dessay is hereby my most favorite opera singer...

[bookmaker17]

she has such an incredable voice!!!!!!

[psychspirit]

will somebody please upload her singing vocalise???? gosh

[FantasmaLuna666]

Such passion! Beautiful voice!

[SimSutcliff]

Quel éblouissement...

[iamahumanboy]

beautiful :)

[Caskader]

Who in their right mind would be able to cut this clip before the music was over?!

[FantasmaLuna666]

Someone who's not in their right mind at all.

[tararep]

Are those tears at 3:50?!? My god, what an artist! Brava Diva! This is how opera was meant to be...

[HILLARYXNOELZ]

AMAZING!

[zauberkreis]

I really wish this performance could be commercialised.

[wonkers50]

4 minutes passed without much happening and yet i was completely captivated.

[isrababe101]

Wow!  Marvelous!
