Background: Having steadfastly built her reputation as a major performer in the pyrotechnic coloratura roles, Natalie Dessay is at a turning point in her career and is exploring, to great international recognition, the more lyrical roles such as Amina, one of the great Bellini heroines.

This edition of Bellini's La sonnambula was produced by Alessandro Roccatagliati and Luca Zoppelli. It has restored two major parts of Elvino's role - the cavatina 'Prendi: l'anel ti dono' and the beautiful duettino between Amina and Elvino 'Vedi o madre' - to their original tessitura. This edition was first produced in August 2004 in Santa Fe, again with Natalie Dessay in the title role under the direction of Evelino Pidò.

'BBC Music Magazine 2008 Awards Nomination - the Jury says : Rapture, passion, languor – the artists, and Dessay in particular – weave a magic web that illuminates Bellini’s peculiar genius. Musicality, dramatic delivery and brilliance of technique combine to generate an emotional depth out of material often considered clichéd. With his robust top range, Melfi has electric exchanges with the heroine, while Dessay’s performance is simply jaw-dropping.' - Dec-2007 5 star BBC Music Mag.
