I had a great chat with Jacqueline Thuilleux of Le Figaro while I was rehearsing I Puritani at the Opera National de Paris about my work in France and my connection to Bel canto.
And in a completely different style, it is as Alcina, Handel's magician, as bewitching in her outbursts of love as in her imprecations, that she will soon reaffirm her power over the French public, at the Royal Opera of Versailles .
"Handel is for me the first of the bel canto artists, it is wonderful to blossom in this kind of flow so broad, so rich."
