This is Ophélie's 1st aria of her great scene, illustrating the madness that is animating her. Natalie succeeds in using this virtuosity to emphasize Ophélie's dispair... Honestly, I've never heard...
This is Ophélie's 1st aria of her great scene, illustrating the madness that is animating her. Natalie succeeds in using this virtuosity to emphasize Ophélie's dispair... Honestly, I've never heard this aria so well sung. You feel for Ophelia and don't care anymore about notes... This is the 1st part (out of 3 posted here) of the scene dedicated to Ophelie's madness & death, in Ambroise Thomas' "Hamlet"... Recorded in June 2000 at Paris Théâtre du Châtelet. Conductor : Michel Plasson / Stage direction : Nicolas Joël

This is one of the greatest opera videos on the web, period. I'm not even a die-hard dessay disciple... hell, I'm not even a huge coloratura fan in the first place! But WOW. This is what we mean by combining voice with drama.
in a recital, it's on youtube too, but I didn't think it's soooo great. Her Lucia wasn't - unfortunately because I love her voice, but she just doesn't do fragile and sad
She does everything in the same way. It´s like seeing Lucia, Gilda, Amina, all the "inas", all the demented sopranos in one role. She has a nice voice but sorry... to me sometimes her voice doesn´t sound that fresh anymore. Sometimes it sounds old.
