Natalie Dessay trained as an actress, and she remains a singer for whom opera is at least as much about theatre as it is about music. Here we have some of her greatest stage performances recorded for DVD, including The Queen of the Night, Zerbinetta - two outstanding portrayals from Salzburg and Paris - and Olympia, in contrasting productions from Vienna, Lyon and Orange. As a bonus, Natalie introduces each extract, offering her comments on the role. This DVD release complements the 2-CD celebration of Natalie's CD recordings for EMI and Virgin Classics.
