Dazzling as the Queen of the Night, deeply moving in Lucia di Lammermoor and La Sonnambula, Natalie Dessay also made her mark on the operatic stage in the roles of Olympia, Manon, Musetta and Cleopatra.After training at the Atelier Lyrique de l'Opera National de Paris and pursuing an international operatic career, Natalie Dessay decided to devote herself to spoken theatre, chansons and the song repertory. The duo she formed in 2011 with her artistic partner Philippe Cassard has given one hundred and thirty-five performances around the world, completely reinventing the song recital as a unique moment of expression, embodiment and shared emotion.Ten years after her last appearance at the Opera Bastille in La Fille du regiment, she has chosen to give her farewell performance on the stage of the Palais Garnier on 31 March 2025.This is the last album from this legendary duo, a fitting way to celebrate the sixtieth birthday of one of the greatest sopranos of her generation.

The second Volturian effort is a truly inspired and stylish rendering of the modern metal blueprint. A blend of the gothic & melancholic feeling of the exceptional debut 'Crimson' with an even more refined pop vein and some extra subtle electronic layers. Each 'Red Dragon' song displays a very contemporary sound, intriguing arrangements and charming sonic dynamics - not to mention the always masterful Federico Mondelli trademark songwriting.
