Thank you so much for this ! Do you have the entire song ?

[FoxyGrandpa]

I don't. I wish I did; all I have is this clip and the rehearsal footage.

[miacrow2]

i know that this type of singing takes years of training, but how on earth do you even begin to find out you have a voice that can do that?

[VBF56PTDR]

cette mise en scène a dessus en 92 je crois...

I really like the costuming and style..very Victorian like

[Varghalur]

@miacrow2 By chance :P Apparently I have a voice that can sing that ridiculously high when I can't see what notes I'm singing(if I know what notes I'm singing I start to think about how difficult it must be to sing them and then can't, but if I can't see the piano and don't know exacly how hight it is, it becomes no problem for me O.o) I thought I had a mezzo-sopran voice when I started singing. ..

Toujours aussi cucu. Voilà où passent nos subventions.

[Poet2916]

is this on dvd?

[MirroredMuse]

@miacrow2 Hahaaah. Good question. Just found out myself. Basically, you sing songs that aren't really in your range for years. Then finally you realize you should just bite the bullet and take lessons from a professional opera singer. She figures it out within the first two lessons and assigns you this song to learn. God only knows how long it takes until it's ready to be performed, though.

Natalie Dessay is the DOLL. After her, no other singer can convince in this role. She is a genius.
