Dessay - Rehearsal Footage of Olympia

[LeCoconut]

Does anyone know if this production is on dvd?? I don't care if it sucked, I want it just to see Natalie's complete first olympia.

P.S. I'm seriously obsessed with this video!! Thanks FoxyGrandpa!

[regulargonzalez]

What a lovely voice even when marking her lines

[Thestinkorama]

Oh I wish it was in English too! Natalie is my absolute idol! I adore her. I'm developing my coloratura now, but I don't think will ever sustain an F. Can bounce, but not hold. Ahhhhhh,she is so fabulous.

I wish I didn't know this was Roman P.....However wasn't it Mozart that said "never offend the ear"? re: Minkoss' comment. btw My ear is not offended by Natalie.

[EtzEchad]

Roman Polanski does like playing with dolls I guess...

[minkoss]

OMG did you hear his last comment? " I don't wanna torture people against their will" how ironic is that? There's some sentences some people should avoid saying!

[minkoss]

I admire her to remember the steps, the music and everything! I am so impressed!!!

[minkoss]

is it polanski? RAPIST!!! and do thumb down me!

[saintsaens21]

Incredible, she hasn't aged a bit in 17 years.

[sour7lemon]

What the hell does she do at 0:13??

[PhantomBlue79]

acting shocked ;-)

definately no hiccup ;-)

[ugotitbabe000]

Her speaking voice shows vocal damage...wow

[paleetblonde]

[silthees]

[Laelia98]

[Macbett0]

Thanks so much for this video!

Nathalie is the greatest actress in the opera world today - and a great singer of course - and is so interesting to see her preparing a role.

[PetrushkaDead]

...that sound @ 0:15...SOUNDS LIKE A DOLPHIN!...LOL

[OperaLover84]

Roman Polanksi, whoa!

[thinspiredfor0]

I'm training in Opera and Natalie is my inspiration! My instructor says I have what it takes to be a coloratura so I look at these wonderful videos of Natalie and it just urges me to keep working at it, and to not give up. :)

[seetalg123]

Natalie is great inspiration for coloratura singers!

I'm rehersing the Doll Song myself at the moment and there's nothing like singing coloratura! it gives you such a buzz :D keep it up! x

[Heartlessiceboy]

Well Im not a soprano im a countertenor,but I do believe that Natelie Dessay is quite an inspiration for any singer(soprano,mezzo,tenor whatever),the dramatism of her performances,the technique all the horrible things that have happened to her wit her vocal chords and her surgery she is actually a survivor

[SillyLitleGirl]

@thinspiredfor0 Best of luck hun! You have to upload some vids of your voice!

[midnitemill]

i wish this was in English. LOl

[nikol1981]

O my..thank you so much for your videos!!!

[DessayBestSinger]

Oh sorry...I've just put a comment with my brother's account :P

[Sednonsatiata89]

Very nice... Her spoken voice seems so different here, isn't it?

[OperaLover84]

I think it's a little tired from the singing. It sounds kind of hoarse.

[Sednonsatiata89]

You're probably right...
