Natalie Dessay
How would it be possible to celebrate the voice, its spells and enchantments, without allowing its development throughout the season in the intimacy of the recital, accompanied only by piano? And who better than one of the most accomplished lyric artists to inaugurate this series, full of surprises and musical delights?
For more than 20 years, Natalie Dessay has brought to lyric stages around the world the refinement of her musical intelligence, her unique art of incarnation, and the constant sincerity of her artistic commitment in the service of the roles she interprets —and an enthusiastic public.
In a single recital she will gift us the full range of her experience, her simplicity and her talent. Yes, there is indeed something to the spells and enchantments in the power of this voice to captivate you, retain you, and cause you to vibrate with pure emotion !
