Natalie Dessay said, in an interview, about this performance, that she knew about 1 week prior to the show that she'd sing this air. She had only a few days to learn it, and she was very anxious she could forget the lyrics. She confessed she had once to look at the prompter for the lyrics, and it can be seen on this video. Let's find when ;) No but seriously, to go on stage, with the Vienna State Orchestra, with only 1 week to master this air, with the fear not being able to remind the lyrics, and perform like she did, just WOW !!!

Never can understand why the only way some people can promote somebody they like is by running down another. If you want to be taken seriously don't do it. Thus the person below who criticizes Dessay in order to promote 'his girls' shows that his criticism is invalid. The audience reaction kind of demonstrates their enthusiasm for this performance. This performance by Dessay is most certainly brilliant. That is not to say other singers cant do it brilliantly too, but due must be paid to Dessay for this exhilarating performance.

With so many, you can see or hear the tension and effort, but Dessay just doesn't appear to have to struggle. Just amazing. And she can do it legato, or staccato, whatever. No problem.

Natalie Dessay at her best is simply unmatched on her upper register. So light, crisp and fluid. While we are all impressed by how high coloraturas can sing, it's what they are trained for anyway. The quality that makes Natalie standout is how effortless she makes those notes sound. It's almost like she speaks with those high notes in her casual daily conversation with her friends.

Her peak vocal performances for me are this, glitter and be gay (the 199_ version), her lakme flower duet with delphine haidan, and of course, her majestic olympia doll song, and her zauberflote arias. Truly a force of nature.

It wasn't her premiere at the Staatsoper. She sang Olympia in the new production of Hoffmann, which was first performed on 20 December. She had actually sung three Oylmpias, as well as one in the dress rehearsal (which she treated exactly like a regular performance) before appearing as the special guest at Orlofsky's ball.

The ability to sing very high notes is obviously down to the thinness of the vocal chords and thereafter training. Natalie Dessay shows what a superb vocal technique she has in this performance and in others such as in "Lucia di Lammermore" but also her acting and comedic abilities in "La Fille du Regiment". If taken care of the voice can remain as a good instrument throughout a long career (I sing as a coloratura and my voice has gone up as I have got older - thanks to good teaching).

The Fruhlingsstimmenwaltzer -- "The Voices of Spring Waltz" - was a separate piece of music by Strauss, but - as can be seen here - it is sometimes inserted into the party scene of Die Fledermaus. The English lyrics: The lark rises into the blue, the mellow wind mildly blowing; his lovely mild breath revives and kisses the field, the meadow. Spring in all its splendour rises, ah all hardship is over, sorrow becomes milder, good expectations, the belief in happiness returns; sunshine, you warm us, ah, all is laughing, oh,oh awakes! A fountain of songs is rising, who has been silent for too long; from the brush sounds clear and light the sweet voice again! Ah, gently the nightingale lets stream the first notes, so as not to disturb the queen; hush, all you other singers! More powerful soon chimes her sweet voice. Oh, soon, oh, oh soon! Ah........ Oh, song of the nightingale, sweet sound, ah yes! Glowing with love, ah, ah, ah, sounds the song, ah and the sound, sweet and cosy, seems to carry a plaintive note, ah, ah rocks the heart to sweet dreams, ah, ah, ah, ah, most gently! Longing and desire ah, ah, ah lives in my breast, ah, if the song anxiously calls for me, from afar the stars twinkle, ah, ah in shimmering magic like the moons beam, ah, ah, ah, ah wavers trough the valley! As haltingly vanishes the night, the lark starts to sing, ah, the light she promises, shadows recede! Ah! Ah springs voices sound like home, Ah yes, ah yes oh sweet sound, Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah yes.
