Dazzling as The Queen of the Night and deeply moving as Lucia di Lammermoor and La Sonnambula, Natalie Dessay has also made her mark as Olympia, Manon, Musetta and Cleopatra on the Paris Opera’s stage.

After training at the Opera’s École d’Art Lyrique and an international career, she decided to devote herself to theatre, song and recital.

Ten years after her last appearance at the Opéra Bastille in La Fille du régiment, it is at the Palais Garnier that the soprano has chosen to bid farewell to the stage.
