Bellini, La Sonnambula – Natalie Dessay, Evelino Pido, Opera national de Paris

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 the night falls. 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.
