Natalie Dessay
Philippe Cassard

Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage Seating Chart
French soprano Natalie Dessay is one of the biggest stars of today's operatic world, thrilling audiences as both a singer and an actress in her dramatic portrayal of some of the most well-known heroines in the genre. Focusing on bubbly French songs by Debussy—but also encompassing Chabrier, Chausson, Duparc, and Poulenc—the coloratura makes her New York recital debut, where she promises to make “each song seem [like] not just Debussy's or Duparc's expression, but her own” (The Guardian).
