“Supreme Natalie. She was the pretext to this Sonnambula performed in concert version at the Opéra de Lyon and later at the Théâtre des Champs Elysées in Paris. Natalie Dessay, all radiance, virtuosity and musicality most naturally triumphed in a repertoire where she has few equals in this day.

This new recording of Monteverdi’s “Orfeo”, a work which is generally considered to be the first true opera in musical history, marks its 400th anniversary. It is performed in a new version developed by one of the world’s leading experts on the composer’s music, Rinaldo Alessandrini and his internationally acclaimed ensemble Concerto Italiano, and presented in a luxurious limited edition of 2 CDs within an illuminating book.
