Moi aussi à la première à Bastille, j'ai conspué Coline SERREAU pour cette mise en scène de malheur... Honte sur elle, j'ai été anesthésié par sa connerie, je n'ai pas profité de l'oeuvre de Jules MASSENET, dont ça n'est plus l'anniversaire de la mort, mais la mort de l'anniversaire.

As far as I know she said "No" at the beginning but not only because of the staging,there've been another reason.But she was refused.

Don't forget that this is Paris and Natalie is still interested to sing Manon at the Bastille as she doesn't sing it at the MET.

And I like the production there is nothing horrible, "c'est la vie"

@velazquez2011 At least she could have said "No, thank you" to such a horrible staging. If she accepts to do it of course she is responsible. I was talking about the staging, not the voice. A less famous singer might be obliged to accept anything if he/she needs to work for living. World famous names should choose better when they put their artistic signature.

@sutherlandfan64 I saw her 18 th, she was graceful, contained and sensitive! I agree she sang beautifully! Controlled refined and sensitive. Her voice sounded quite fresh!

She was convincingly naive and young in the first acts. I also went from Amsterdam to see her and wasn't disappointed (if maybe she was a bit, she looked serious and timid at curtain call). She touched me often

[velazquez2011]

@sirdicaudore Dessay isn't responsible for the costume/direction. Vocally this isn't that bad, she is a singer aged, but still has much to offer! What? Should she build a shrine for herself and stop singing because she isn't the perfection she was?!

[velazquez2011]

I saw her 18 th of january, she sounds much much better live than here! More sensuous, spatial and sensitive and the whole production isn't that bad actually to look at! Dessay is more contained, but very often very sensitive and beautiful in tone and movement!

@distefano13069609 Manon, from Jules Massenet, with stage directions from film producer Coline Serreau. It just started playing at the Bastille Opera in Paris and will stay there until mid-February. People loudly booed !

One guy needs a man-bra! Other than that I have nothing positive to say. I am taping my mouth shut (in sympathy with the boy toys) because I hate to say anything trashy about people doing the best they can.

El encargado de vestuario o el de escenografía se quedó bien a gusto ... horroroso ....
