Natalie Dessay & Juan Diego Florez - Ah! Non giunge uman pensiero - La Sonnambula

[TheGreatPerformances]

Crystal voice !

[pinbi1]

This is a stupid order!!! /Anti singer!/

[killerbunny123123]

how can this be? in the other video i saw on youtube of the EXACT same show at 3:19 she made a variation of the notes! yet it's the SAME video, i mean the movements are IDENTICAL even for trying to make the same moves, you can't make them EXACTLY the same!!

[KrebSDani]

it´s not the same performance

[mrantiquedealer]

Totally ridiculous!

[47viviane]

tis IS weird, as volcano so rightly wrote, this Zimmerman woman seems to be out to axe singlehandedly the belcanto repertoire, ruining Lucia too but this is a nwe lowpoint!!! Poor Dessay getting LAUGHS instead of standing ovations - soooo embarrassing small wonder her throat tightens up - this production not only constitutes an asthetic but a health threat too - grossssssssss

[parker930]

I kind of liked this production-I really am a fan of Mary Zimmerman's work. I had the chance to see this live at the Met and also in a Movie theater in HD. Dessay and Florez were wonderful in both Performances!

[asdfopera]

The staging isn't so bad. I can't wait to see the rest. She's one hell of a singing actress, that's for sure.

[RexRumour]

Kado!!! Ik hou zoooo veel van je!!!! ps. je moet Dessay nog wel een beetje leren dansen ;)

[CaterinaDeMedici67]

buffona

[Klaudhius]

Absolutely wonderful! :D

[nicevidbro]

She is my favourite singer, and I dont know what happened here. Her coloratura is good, but the higher register sounds strained, like she is hurting her vocal chords. I hope she gets better because I have been notincing this for while now.

[volcan313]

Of course this is weird but interesting ! Awesome singing !

[SsteinwayS]

Ah gosh I love this ending! Dessay was so hilarious when she was late :P And the singing is divine of course!

[leoperarm]

the singing is terribly great!!! the staging is a bit strange, but nice anyway!

[DessayBestSinger]

You can say anything you want about the production, but I love this ending!

[Klassizismus]

You are right!!! The ending is great, loved her dancing. Do you think this will be made into DVD?

[DessayBestSinger]

I'm pretty sure it will!

[Klassizismus]

Natalie and J.D. are a great couple on stage - did you know that they are scheduled to sing I Puritani in some years at the Met :)

[DessayBestSinger]

yep! during she 2013-2014 season I read!

[volcan313]

Quelqu'un sait si elle fera les 4 rôles dans les contes d'hoffmann ? (dont Olympia !!) ?

[DessayBestSinger]

oui, moi ^^

elle l'a dit elle même qu'elle chanterait les 4 rôles

[ziapengyfence]

It is excellent! You have to love JDF's hat!! The ending was the best!!
