Natalie Dessay - Hamlet - "Pâle et blonde" (scene - part 2)

This very peculiar Ophélie's 2nd aria of her scene requires great agility. But Natalie succeeds in using this virtuosity to emphasize Ophélie's dispair... Honestly, I've never heard this aria so well sung and ACTED. You feel for Ophelia and don't care anymore about notes...
This is the 2rd part of the scene dedicated to Ophelie's madness & death, in Ambroise Thomas' "Hamlet"..
Conductor : Michel Plasson / Stage direction : Nicolas Joël
Recorded in June 2000 at Paris Théâtre du Châtelet. SHOULD BE RELEASED ON DVD (announced for quite a while by the Chatelet)
