This DVD captures this incredible artist in her full glory performing in live production. Included are excerpts from Fledermaus, Ariadne, Hoffmann, Lucie, Zauberfloete, Hamlet, L'enfant et les sortileges, Candide, and Orphee aux Enfers (with Laurent Naouri). Dessay also offers little anecdotes on the productions prior to each performance.

Throughout her acclaimed career, opera singer Natalie Dessay has played a variety of roles in both comedies and tragedies. This collection features the highlights of these performances and gives the audience the opportunity to watch the soprano prove her acting talent as well.

"The DVD shows her also to be a producer's dream, acting out his liveliest fancies . . . . She seems infinitely adaptable. . . . 'Glitter and be gay', from the Glyndebourne celebration of 1997, is even better seen than merely heard . . . ." -- John Steane, Gramophone
