Dessay and Naouri perform "Il m'a Semble sur mon Epaule"

[goffog1]

Saw Orpheus at the Central City Opera (Colorado). Was amazing! This is one of the funniest songs, "King of Beotia" is also hilarious.

[Adlih91]

Great!J'adore Dessey!

In which year was this performance filmed?

[FoxyGrandpa]

@Adlih91 1997

[varaada]

great!

[ElisabettaVS]

haha, that is sooo funny! Great singing!

[superjesus302]

Doofe. XD

[TruPhan1]

i want her shoes lol

[TourneledosRossini]

J'ai été voir Dessay sur scène. Elle était quasi inexpressive, et a fait quantité de fausses notes. Vu le prix que cela m'a coûté, je ne suis pas près d'y retourner. C'est vraiment se moquer du monde.

[kinakina123123]

Wow a sexy looking opera singer who also sings like a heavenly creature, has so much energy and vitality and seems to really love producing music. I want to be a fly in my next life Natalie! Dessay is NEVER boring, and seems to be able sing no matter what she is doing - even when being eaten by a fly.

How can you not love this singer, actor, musician. What a stupendous talent!

[skitzo429]

theyre married in real life, so him going down on her is slightless less liscentious

[LeCoconut]

only slightly...

[LohengrinT]

an extremely ugly woman dressed like a whore and singing like an Angel... this is a sight that I can only describe as pathetic :p

What a huge waste of an immense vocal talent

[skitzo429]

shes not ugly

[yilinlin]

she's proforming in a great opera from Offenbach.

I wounld't say it a waste

the whole "WHORE LIKE" thing is a stage proformance, and devotion to one's career shall never be pathetic :)

[Parvati78100]

Eh bien moi, j'adore Offenbach et je trouve ça très bien. Il faut dire que je ne connais aucun music-hall dans mon quartier.

[BenitoAdolfScala]

On ne comprend pas un traître mot. C'est vraiment se moquer du monde. Quand aux décors, costumes et mise en scène, c'est même indigne d'un music-hall de quartier.

[classicalgal14]

omg that is her husband

[gbittner]

Mille Grazie Bravi!

[cleanears]

çet's not forget that it was Offenbach's idea!!!!

[Satirike]

hilarious and great acting - very enthusiastic.

[ViolettaValery25]

She is a great actress!

[johanna33560]

very nice version, i love the high note at the end. Natalie and laurent much good thanks for this!!!

[SsteinwayS]

This is why they're married :)

[alexandriusgirl]

Were they married here already?

[SsteinwayS]

I'm pretty sure they were...wasn't Dessay already pregnant (in wedlock...) during her 1994 Queen of the Night? :)

[DessayBestSinger]

yes

[SsteinwayS]

:P Merci Alix!

[NnFfBb]

Brilliant theatrical performance.

[ouinonyes]

[rosethorn36]

[rosethorn36]

[johanna33560]

merci beaucoup

[2Oria]

Thanks for posting and I love your name.lol

[ellandelachapelle]

Don´t worry about Natalie! This man is her husband - in real life! (see them in the Reportage part 1).

[rosethorn18]

Where?

[ellandelachapelle]

"Extract of a Reportage" part 1. (here on YuoTube.)

[jayjay100000]

I really think this an utterly rubbish performance of this otherwise wonderful duet, in glorious Orphee aux Enferes. In my view tottally overdone, and sung with far too much burlesque, as this scene should be funny but equally touching.

[legato699]

Rather overdone, yes

[mouzicheck]

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­z dessay is the best.

[gypsycafe]

This clip is a perfect example of why I love Dessay. It's sung beautifully and so entertaining. That's Dessay in a nutshell

[pyke6]

My favorite part by far is when she climaxes so loud it scares him. That part makes me laugh everytime.

[Ichichan0326]

...LOL. WTF was that?! Offenbach MUST have been smoking SOMETHING to have written something like that XD!!

[PsychoLemur42]

I concur. The director was probably high as well.

[Satirike]

Rofl yes :]

[AminaBellini]

Hello, I have a question...When was this performance?? Someone know?...Both are great!!!!

[Lilith89ibz]

I completely agree with joanelie. Dessay est la melleiure!!! (Dessay's the best!!!)

[MartinWaddington]

mmm...not bad, but no-one has done a production of Orpheus in the Underworld as sexy or as funny as Sadler's Wells Opera did in the 1960s. In that production Eurydice was in her bubble-bath when Jupiter visits her in the guise of a fly...

[mouzicheck]

@MartinWaddigton

ok, we will all be glad to see and appreciate ! upload it!

[mathelios]

qwizdawka, the director (metteur en scène) is Laurent Pelly and the conductor (chef d'orchestre)is Marc Minkowsky <<== I'm sure for the names but no for the difference between "director" and "conductor" ^^

[godelike]

Yes, you're right ;)

[gwizdawka]

who is director and who is conductor of this?

[sarrumay]

ummm....WHY is she having sex with a giant fly??? maybe i should have paid more attention in french class haha

[joanelie]

this is too hilarious. damn you natalie dessay! you are too amazing for words!!!

[silmelas]

That. Was. So. Wrong.

As is the fact that I am *dying* from laughter.

God, I wish I could speak French.

[BravaBerganza]

Why?? Why this video don´t want go..... :(((

[OlympiaDiva]

omg hahahaha bravoo

[diuscorvus]

this is utterly hilarious. I am extremely impressed by how dessay can sing an F# while simluating orgasm from having sex with a humongous fly.

[ViolettaValery]

because he is really her husband :)

[arnaubarcelo]

haha! we should definitely take lessons!!
