I've decided to upload some videos of Natalie's performances, even though they already are on YouTube, but with english subtitles, because when I'm watching an opera, I'd rather like to know what's going on. So there it is. If you want me to add different subtitles, just tell me, I'll see what I can do.

Natalie Dessay as Lucia performing the aria "Il dolce suono" Metropolitan Opera, NY, 2007. One of the best Lucia around, if you ask me (even if you don't ^^). Hope she'll sing the role again, and this time, please, a DVD !

  • I've heard better voices (that is not to say she isn't amazing, she is), but her emotion in this just makes it for me. When he sings "Ah! Edgardo mio!" my heart just breaks.

  • meno male che la Callas non c'è più. . Vi immaginate cosa poteva dire di questa interpretazione. Sarebbe meglio che la Scena della Pazzia non venisse mai più rappresentata nè incisa: nessuno mai, neppure in futuro potrà eguagliare quella della Callas, e cercare di farlo porta solo a scarne, deludenti, sforzate ed anche orribili tentativi di imitazione dell'INIMITABILE!!!!!

  • :D

  • She's amazing.

  • One of the best performances of this difficult and complex, but the same time magnificent role. She managed to avoid a simple theatrical role and delivered a deeply sensitive presentation with her exceptional voice.

  • She's a wonderful acress and great singer too. Amazing!

  • She is fabulous in this role-- I don't think anyone can do this scene better, or at least I can't imagine it.

  • Best rendition of Lucia Ive ever seen

  • Wonderful!! I will be seeing this opera at the Kennedy Center in DC on November 12.
