La Sonnambula – Stage director: Marco Arturo Marelli
Paris Opera House. With Natalie Dessay
For the first time at the Paris Opera, Natalie Dessay sings one of the most beautiful roles of Italian romanticism.
She embodies the modest and charming Amina, this sleepwalker who, escaping from her bedroom, becomes another person as she wanders through the night.
This opera by Bellini is a score written in daydream where melody seems to be suspended in time and the heroine's very soul rises to the surface, and where instruments take on transparent water-colour tones.
At the same time, Bellini portrays the cruellest of worlds – our own – where it is more than difficult for fragility and gentleness to make a place for themselves.
