Description
'Laurent Pelly's production of Donizetti's opéra comique was one of the highlights of the Royal Opera's 2006–7 season, and viewing this well-produced DVD of the show it's perfectly obvious why. Natalie Dessay's skinny tomboy of a Marie combines a 110 per cent commitment to the physicality of her acting with a coloratura facility that is beyond criticism.'
