Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Don't miss Natalie Dessay in this fabulous farce
Natalie is the ultimate Euridice with marvelous acting and incredible singing. She generously sprinkles sparkling high G's throughout the show. If she couldn't sing she would have been a famous comedienne. The rest of the cast is delightful. Bethone's Cupid, Naouri's Jupiter, Beuron's Orphee, Olmeda'a Public Opinion, all singing the wonderful Offenbach music. The Fly Song, The Kissing Song...

I've converted Offenbach haters to Offenbach lovers with this video!!

This is truly an ensemble piece, and it's hard to single ... Read More
