Natalie Dessay is a dazzling opera singer. Her charisma captured on the stages of the world s great opera houses and in the recording studio illuminates the opera arias and scenes in this collection. From Mozart s furious Queen of the Night or Offenbach s robotic Olympia to Strauss s flirtatious Zerbinetta and Delibes devoted Lakmé. Handel s mercurial Cleopatra to Donizetti s desperate Lucia. Thomas s fragile Ophélie to Massenet s capricious Manon and Verdi s passionate tragic Violetta. Natalie Dessay proves irresistible in repertoire that spans three centuries and a wealth of musical and dramatic possibilities.
