La Sonnambula: "Ah! non credea mirarti" (Natalie Dessay)

[@SteveRosinus-pm1ff]

As always her voice sends shivers through me Thank you Bruce

[@abisaijorgevegaperez5289]

Have you never taken a job that you actually liked and when you finish and its your last day you look back as you leave and all the memories and realizations you made there become vivid for a moment? Well something similar happens here, some of these singers know perhaps this is the last time they will perform this role before they are too old, but that experience and strength of spirit drives her to perform this much better than anyone could, so that tear at the end could be a last farewell,a realization of a good job done singing that aria, an expression of the soul...or perhaps all those things combined in one homogeneous expression of showmanship She deserves all the applause

[@dinah1318]

Dessay has also said that she tried to do each performance as if it was her last (in a "you could be dead tomorrow" kind of sentiment) which'd motivate her to do each performance to the best of her abilities. I think she said it in the mini-documentary "Lucia à Paris" which is on youtube, she might have also said it in other interviews as well.

[@Menstrala]

Beautiful comment, and yes, once long ago a ballerina, I danced on stage everyday as if it were my last, and still cherish the knowledge of dancing through memories. I remember watching a ballet performance of George Balanchine's La Sonnambula by the one and only Gelsey Kirkland, who had stayed awake for longer than two days, just to experience "sleepwalking phenomena" in preparation for her late 1970s performance of La Sonnambula at Lincoln Center, NY. She brought her audience to tears, and gave standing ovations that still feel timeless in recall. It was a profound experience to witness artistic realism. This clip is similar, and this beautiful voice with music is ghostly powerful.

[@tinamukbaniani2266]

Beautiful her voice shines like a star thank you Bruce

[@danielochoaavila]

Amazing I believe that Natalie Dessay is one the most beautiful opera it is an artwork

[@portatomusicschool2098]

Natalie Dessay, she is the best colloratora soprano in the world. Not just voice and technic, Also Her fabulous performance.

[@maximilianowe5506]

Wow! That’s amazing! Fabulous staging!!!!

[@misssophie6515]

Florez and Dessay are amazing - it is always nice to have them on stage together! I have the DVD as well.

[@claudedurand2215]

Magnifique Natalie Dessay Juan Diégo Florez. Je suis toujours très émue en écoutant ce morceau.

[@KBGWorld29]

The yearning. Ahhhh my heart ❤️ To me, this aria is like a prayer

[@phil2u48]

This was a surprisingly thoughtful and convincing production of Sonnambula and the only one I have ever seen live. Florez and Dessay were prefectly matched in these roles.

[@Tenortalker]

I love this part of the production with Nathalie Dessay singing over the orchestra pit. It is an imaginative way of helping the audience to feel the suspense of her sleepwalking .

My dear "tenortalker" : You are ridiculous !

[@giuseppinascapparone3303]

Meravigliosa, dolcissima interpretazione. BRAVA!!!!!

[@ryanmurphy348]

I saw this production for a fifth grade class trip if only I was old enough to enjoy it

[@edwinmaldonado1701]

It's a pity that the full version was taken off youtube, l had the opportunity to see it before it was removed.Both Natalie and Juan Diego were at their best.

[@akanecortich8197]

+Edwin Maldonado I bought the DVD from the Met years ago I loved it so much

[@edwinmaldonado1701]

+Akane Cortich Any chance you can upload your dvd so we can have the pleasure of watching this great performance again?

[@misssophie6515]

the stream is also available via the met's official website -> on demand, they have a huge catalogue of beautiful recordings

[@irvingkat]

What an interpretation. So many sing it as if Amina was awake. Natalie Dessay does it right, beautiful legato and dynamics without going over the top.

[@FairyForest87]

Callas did it the same way

[@kitarucareanu3429]

magnifiques Amina et ELVINO, GRANDES voix

[@janwilhelmreijnhoudt1119]

La Sonnambula: Ah, non credea mirarti - Vincenzo Bellini Ah! non credea mirarti Sì presto estinto, o fiore; Passasti al par d'amore, Che un giorno solo Che un giorno sol durò. Passasti al par d'amore... Che un giorno Che un giorno sol durò. Potria novel vigore Il pianto, il pianto mio recarti... Ma ravvivar l'amore Il pianto mio non può. Ah! non credea Ah non credea Passasti al par d'amore Che un giorno sol durò Che un giorno sol durò Passasti al par d'amore Che un giorno sol durò

[@graziellaborgna2923]

[@jotge.3444]

Sie singt so wunderbar, warum hatte sie ihre Stimme verloren?

[@gjhardy]

That woman is simply brilliant. Sorry, this is new-speak, Dessay is simply brilliant.

[@morganchan2465]

She is ~

[@danawinsor1380]

Thank you so much for posting this! May I make a comment? This isn't Amina's "mad scene," it's Amina's Sleepwalking Scene.

[@fbernard3760]

Pour moi c'est pareil d'autant que je l'ai entendu dans ce rôle à Bordeaux où elle fut sublime.

I have in DVD

[@unidentifieduser5346]

Ah,non credea mirarti si presto estinto, o fiore; passasti al par d’amore, che un giorno sol(o) duro. Potria novel vigore il pianto mio recarti ma ravvivar l’amore il pianto mio, ah no, non puo. Ah, non giunge uman pensiero al contento ond’io son piena: a miei sensi io credo appena; tu m’affida o mio tesor. Ah, mi abbraccia, e sempre insieme sempre uniti in una speme della terra, in cui viviamo ci formiamo un ciel d’amor. Oh, I didn’t believe to see you so quickly extinct, o flowers; you have passed away like love that one day only lasted. Perhaps new life my tears will bring to you but to revive love my tears, o no, cannot. O, inconceivable human thought a wave of contentment I am full: In my feelings I can hardly believe you assure me, o my treasure(darling). O, embrace me, and always together, always united in a single hope, of the world, we live in we will make a heaven of love.

Who here after Ultraman Tiga ?

[@bodiloto]

vocalità dilettantesca poco adatta à questo capolavoro.

[@matteosiena]

La Dessay una dilettante?..Ma hai bevuto o cosa?

[@bodiloto]

+matteo bocci durante la mia lunghissima vita con i dilettanti aggressivi e maleducati del tuo genere normalmente non parlavo mai . ma visto che YT esiste sono obbligato di sopportare la vostra volgarità ragazzi . 1 per caso hai cantato con me o mi conosci per darmi del tu ?!... 2 mi ricordo ancora come le mie amiche e colleghe soprani negli anni 1958-68 interpretavano la meravigliosa musica di Bellini !... 3 Dessay e' una dilettante pura per me che conosce poco i stili d'interpretazione diversi e di più cantonava durante anni con una tecnica vocale scarsa in un modo poco professionale aiutata spesso dai microfoni 🎙️. 4 sono testimone vivo che negli anni 1958-68 la stessa Natalie Dessay non poteva entrare in un coro con la sua vocalità dilettantesca . 5 il fatto che questa ragazzina e' la tua dea non ti dà automaticamente il patente degli insulti gratuiti... per questa ragione scendendo al tuo livello ti dico che da questo momento in poi non avrai mai più l'onore di una risposta della parte mia. sei un dilettante frustrato e maleducato, e' un fatto ! e l'avvenire sarà la prova di queste parole mie . ritorna alla scuola per insegnarti le buone maniere . questa e' la mia modesta opinione . ps. le mie parole sono troppo onore per un dilettante aggressivo vero del tuo genere . di più sei un fan accanito anche della Bartoli ?!... ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ! piccolino, capisco benissimo il tuo gusto ''raffinato'' nella materia ... Anche la Bartoli la aiutavano con microfoni 🎤. il vecchio

[@matteosiena]

Io fino a prova contraria non ho insultato nessuno..e la tua risposta mi dà la prova che l'arrogante e il maleducato sei te non io...e lasciatelo dire...sei fuori di testa!!

[@matteosiena]

Ora si puoi dire che sono stato maleducato. Ma visto come ti poni in tutti i tuoi commenti,che via via ho visto, ti meriti questo. Non sei un Dio....ne tanto meno il detentore del sapere assoluto sul canto lirico!!

Oh, come ON. This is not a mad scene. It is the last part of the second sleepwalking scene.

[@krist-yonnarain7786]

Correcto, she's sleep-singing and very well two.

[@diefledermichael801]

A fine version, indeed, but people, please, you must hear Anna Moffo's version with Colin Davis and the Philharmonia. Imo no one else even comes close!

[@tjw2469]

She puts tensions in her voice here and there, not a complete free sound. She might get all dynamics right, but there is not much beauty in her phrasing. Acting wise...not something I care about in an opera

[@merymayo77]

And of course she has Mic. Too airy, constricted and intonation si not good sometimes.

[@yogajedi3337]

Sorry but can't understand a word. Move next video.

[@AL-bp7xh]

grauenhaft. Man höre Callas in dieser Partie

[@MrDre-pq2jl]

This was excellent, but I'm sorry - the sopranos performance doesn't even come close to Cecilia Bartoli's. If you haven't heard it on her Sospiri album, totally worth the listen.

[@italopera6036]

Ridiculous staging to try to make people forget her lack of technique, which will eventually lead to her stopping singing opera!

[@morganchan2465]

Oh~ I hate Florez's voice ~ So annoying
