NATALIE DESSAY & PIERRE BOUSSAGUET 4tet
Legrand Enchanteur - Tribute to Michel Legrand
Michel Legrand left his mark on music across five genres: classical, jazz, film scores, songs and musicals. Pierre Boussaguet conceived this show as a comprehensive exploration of Michel's musical universe, alternating between melodies, songs performed by Natalie Dessay and instrumental pieces.
NATALIE DESSAY, opera superstar, but not only that...

Now an admired interpreter of bel canto and lyric heroines such as Violetta (La traviata), Lucia di Lammermoor, Marie (La Fille du régiment), Amina (La sonnambula), Pamina (Die Zauberflöte), Manon, Juliette, Ophélie (Hamlet) and Cleopatra (Giulio Cesare), Dessay originally made her reputation with showpiece coloratura roles such as Offenbach’s Olympia, Mozart’s Queen of the Night and Strauss’ Zerbinetta.
