Such a wonderful production. I have watched this DVD many times.

It is so moving towards the end of the final act, where Catharine proves herself to be a truely noble queeen.

Splendid recording! If you want to have an idea of Jean Lassalle's singing (he was the first Henry VIII) at his best, just listen to this. Philippe Rouillon has the perfect dramatic baritone voice, with bass resonances, which is very close to that which we can hear in Lassalle's rare recordings. A great French singer to enjoy!

Wonderful aria, well performed by Phillipe Roullion. This aria was famous among baritones in Saint-Saens time.
