"Dessay has had a memorable career on the opera stage. She has been described over the years by such superlatives as one-off, wildly talented, multi-faceted, formidable, perfect for mad-scenes, beyond categorisation, and more.....Dessay revels in Olympia's amusing aria known as the 'Doll Song', delivered with assurance and freedom; Dessay's striking coloratura makes an impression...One of most tragic roles is Ophélie in Hamlet that Dessay recorded at Monte-Carlo in 1996. In the highly emotional mad scene, her voice is entirely convincing yet she remains in control as Ophélie's abusive treatment drives her to insanity." MusicWeb
