The staging was so busy that the vocals had to take a third place position. Stage directors want their stamp on the work to the expense of all else, and we go the the opera, first, for the vocal wonders that may or may not happen. Dessay had to phrase the lines too often to accomodate the chaotic business required, and her voice suffered as a result. She is not my ideal for this role, and to that end, this performance did nothing to dispell my thoughts .

I hope he sings La Traviata with her someday. He is her best partner vocally and if he can sing like this one day again they would be unstoppable! I know this is one of his last performances before he had to quit because he was ill but I love how his voice sounds. His top notes sound clearer and more... I don't know what than other Des Grieuxs. I hope he gets better soon.

Although I love the couple he makes with Anna Netrebko, I believe Dessay has a lot of expression.
Thanks for posting. I saw it in Barcelona in Theatre..Unbelievable, gorgeous both of them..
Best ensemble possible. Memorable. It was filmed for DVD. So it will be documented for a long time, I am very happy about it. Many incredible productions just wanished..

That's why I love opera... and Dessay ^^ Every performance should be like that : full of passion, beautiful singing and convincing acting. Then you have a masterpiece. Then you have emotions.
