Angelika Kirchschlager as Nicklausse

Angelika Kirchschlager as Nicklausse with Marcus Haddock as Hoffman in "Les contes d'Hoffmann" (The Tales of Hoffmann) - Orange Festival, 2000.
Beautiful aria "Vois sous l'archet fremissant" :)))

I really like the effect of the wind blowing her collar and her hair; it is reminiscent of the imagery of the sound and it makes it just that little bit more beautiful. I've always loved this aria, especially when done as masterfully as by Kirchschlager here.

I've had this on dvd for years. And I saw Haddock in Tosca where he sounded so much better live.

She's the second best Nicklausse I've ever heard. The first is Catherine Dubosc

Por que nunca escogen a un verdadero contratenor para estos papeles que son hechos para este tipo de voz por color y fuerza
