De l'opéra à la chanson

Dominating the international opera scene for 20 years, beloved in her native France and adulated on stages in Vienna, London and New York as much for her exceptional voice as for her no-holds-barred acting, Natalie Dessay has come to embody the ideal modern diva, bringing a breath of fresh air to the world of opera. But she hasn’t stopped there. Following the release of The Miracle of a Voice in 2006, the moment has come to celebrate the next chapter in a glittering career. The double album Natalie Dessay: From Opera to Song features 20 years of the soprano’s exclusive recordings for her label Erato, from The Queen of the Night conducted by William Christie to her Traviata, from her breathtaking Morgana in Handel’s Alcina to the noble Cleopatra in Giulio Cesare (conducted by Emmanuelle Haïm), from her bell-toned Lakmé to Bach’s Bist du bei mir with Rolando Villazón, from Carlos Jobim’s Les Eaux de mars to the songs of Michel Legrand and Cole Porter’s Over the Rainbow – here is artist who continues to surprise as she expands her horizons and explores new paths.
