She is a great interpreter of this role. Its very moving how she sings it. I cannot understand how this great artists can sing this aria without becomming too emotional.... I cannot hear this without tears in my eyes. In english, french or italian, its always this overwhelming emotion.

One of the few operas specifically asked to be done in the language of the people by the composer. Sometimes it's hard to understand, but it is incredibly moving in either English or French; I've heard both at the Met and really enjoyed the English production.
