If you knew anything of Voltaire's original Candide, you would know that Ms. Damrau's acting here is entirely appropriate for the role. As for Chenoweth, you really can't compare the two as she sings the Aria in its broadway aspects while Damrau focuses on more of the mechanistic, operatic side of the role. Both are great anyways in my opinion, in their provided atmospheres of course.

I m a more Dessay style of person, but i know that Damrau is one of the most briliant and talented opera singers we have and and we really need her in the opera! I don't know why but for me Dessay and Damrau are the new (lighter ofcourse) Callas and Sutherland.
