Song of the Week: Natalie Dessay La jour naissait dans les bocages
It was with this production of La Fille du Regiment that I convinced my best friend of the beauties and hilarity of French comic opera. It was a proud moment. Say what you will about it, but Fille is one of my favorite comic operas, and the Laurent Pelly production never fails to make me grin.
Wasn't this how we both first saw Dessay? When did you talk your friend into it? I don't remember that
I thought I remembered this but I hadn't remembered how funny she was at all! (Or how funny her dress was...) Actually laughed out loud when she sighed and when she sang contralto at the start of the tantrum bit.
