I ADORE Dessay's performance here! She is a real Juliette! She is unsurpassable in lyric coloratura roles like Amina, Juliette, maybe even Violetta (I don't know). However, I only said that, for example, Callas and Gheorghiu are more beauiful than her, and wonderful artists in their own fach (whish is certainly more 'heavy' than Dessay's) as well. They are both superb Violettas, Toscas etc.

God whoever gets feelings from beauty understands that Dessay is nothing but a weak very weak voice with some agility: opera divas are to be find otherwhere. P.S. Yes, Anna Netrebko is another planet. As Callas. Gheorghiu is an average - good singer introduced in the right circuit.
I love Natalie and Sutherland but I don't like to compare one to other. Natalie is a "soprano coloratura" so her voice is high but not as powerful as Sutherland (who can blow mountains with her highest notes!). Natalie is French so she tries also to act along with singing!
you are right! Recently, I saw her on a french national channel. She confirmed that she was no longer coloratura. Whoever will she be, i would always love her, not only for her voice but also her humour.
@binhkone Coloratura refers to agility of technique in a special way. There are coloratura mezzos for instance. But, Natalie COULD have said she was no longer coloratura, and what she said goes with me.
I have to say that you are fairly correct. You may have embellished a bit. Her intrepertation is fantastic and her voice is splendid. The sopranos stuey mentioned are all also fantastic, but that does not take away from this.
Irriconoscibile rispetto a dieci anni fa. Durissima in alto, e affaticata!

well you can not compare it's like comparing : two musiciens on playing piano and the other one violin so they just have distinct instruments ;)

Natalie's voice is very powerful in the high notes, believe me!
and she's not a coloratura anymore, she's a "licht lyrical soprano"

Sutherland voice is richer than Dessay, but her high notes are often squeaky and incomplete. Dessay reach them easier.

@izarob oh yeah totally the Eb's at the end of her lucias are so squeaky and so incomplete yep totally not.

The aria is supposed to be juvenile and light so it really suits to the voice of Natalie Dessay

The World's most beautiful Soprano. A delight to listen to and look at.
If there is such a thing as perfect technique in singing.. you're listening to it...

Have you heard of Dame Joan Sutherland? Anna Netrebko? Angela Gheorgiu? Maria Callas?

Of the sopranos you mentioned, I like only Callas and Gheorghiu. And they are much more beautiful than Dessay or, especially Sutherland.
