Natalie Dessay "Glitter and Be Gay" Candide by Bernstein

[OperaMystery80]

Dessay made this non-operatic song (it's more Broadway really) a signature of hers, she really owns this song. It's always good, in character, all the high notes are hit outstandingly and she really is expressive and humorous. I really love her singing this at the 1997 Glyndebourne concert (it's here on Youtube). She is phenomenal there.

This is actually an operatic song... along with most if not all the works by Bernstein. He tried to bring broadway back to its operatic roots.

Does anyone know the date of this performance?

[obiwan88]

Wow, her interpretation is real good, easily matches June Anderson's with Bernstein in 1989...
