Read more.Natalie Dessay as Eurydice and Yann Beuron as Orphee guarantee a humorous and provocative presentation of this 1997 production, which could only come from the Lyon Opera. Marc Minkowski is the conductor and Laurent Pelly is the stage director.But since the Offenbach operetta is a take-off of classical mythology, why should the production not be a bit different too? The singers sing well - notably Natalie Dessay, Yann Beuron and Laurent Naouri - and importantly look good too. There are no obvious weaknesses in the cast, and it is a fast-moving, witty production. A good buy.
Natalie Dessay signed her first exclusive contract with EMI Classics in 1994 and, in addition to the recordings already mentioned, her catalogue includes discs of Mozart (a collection of arias and his Mass in C minor), songs and arias by Strauss, works by Monteverdi Bach and Handel (including a disc of arias from Giulio Cesare), all conducted.
Both the 'earthly' leads are superb: Natalie Dessay's secure, clear coloratura is well employed as the nagging wife.and one feels sorry for her hapless husband, Orphee, amiably characterized by Yann Beuron.From the opening bars, Minkowski's approach is apparent in the sparkling, crystal-clear textures, and he propels the opera along at a tremendous pace and with a bouncing rhythmic bite.
