On February 28th, Philippe Jaroussky sings a Vivaldi aria, with that angelic & amzing voice.
Later on that evening, he is awarded 2007 best French lyrical artist.
Natalie sings the virtuoso "Où va la jeune hindoue..." from Delibes'"Lakmé". In France, we call this aria "air des clochettes"...
Just enjoy this incredible agility & subtility...
From a wonderful "Le Nozze di Figaro" conducted by Georg Solti at Paris Opera Garnier in 1980.
The very famous stage production by Giorgio Strelher.
Fabulous cast : Jose Van Dam (Figaro), Lucia Popp (Susanna), Gundula Janowitz (Contessa Almaviva), Gabriel Bacquier (Almaviva), Federica Von Stade (Cherubino), Jane Berbié (Marcellina).
In 1996, French TV dedicated a show to the charming Jennifer...

Roberto Alagna & Bryn Terfel sing the beautiful duet "Au fond du temple saint" from Bizet's "Les Pêcheurs de perles"... (Met 1996)

Roberto Alagna sings "La Marseilaise", France hymn, music arranged by Berlioz.
Not the best song (especially the lyrics, OMG)Alagna's engagement is really good I think, his singing, if not perfect, is really convincing.
Roberto Alagna is just wonderful as Rodolfo in this production of Puccini's "La Bohême", opposite Leontina Vaduva as Mimi.
Conductor : James Conlon / Stage director : Jonathan Miller
Recorded in December 1995 - Paris, Opera Bastille
Great final duet perfrmed by Béatrice Uria-Monzon and Roberto Alagna, in Bizet's "Carmen", performed at the Chorégies d'Orange in 2004.
Conductor : Myung-Whun Chung / Stage director : Jerome Savary.
Alagna is once again very inspired in his singing. Listen particularly to the line "... eh bien s'il le faut pour te plaire, je resterai bandit, tout ce que tu voudras..." : just WONDERFUL!
