\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNatalie Dessay<\/strong> (Lyon, 1966) is recognized as one of the greatest stars of the operatic world, captivating audiences as both a singer and an actress. She is admired as a lyrical performer and for her portrayals of bel canto heroines such as Violetta (La traviata<\/em>), Lucia di Lammermoor, Marie (La Fille du r\u00e9giment<\/em>), Amina (La sonnambula<\/em>), or Pamina (Die Zauberfl\u00f6te<\/em>), although she initially earned her reputation with coloratura roles such as Offenbach’s Olympia, Mozart’s Queen of the Night, and Strauss’s Zerbinetta. Her discography includes a dozen recordings of operas and lyrical pieces. In 2013, Dessay retired from the opera stage to devote herself to other musical formats. She recently announced that in 2025, for her 60th birthday, she will make her final retirement. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor her recital at LIFE Victoria<\/strong>, the soprano will be accompanied by pianist Philippe Cassard<\/strong> (Besan\u00e7on, 1962), trained at the Paris Conservatory and one of the great specialists in Debussy. As a chamber musician, his performances with Natalie Dessay<\/strong> on Europe’s most prestigious stages stand out. Furthermore, he is a frequent guest of the main British orchestras and has an extensive discography as a soloist and chamber musician. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
