Thaïs: Renée Fleming
Athanaël: Thomas Hampson
Conductor: Andrew Davis
Lyric Opera Chicago
Dedicated to Lohengrin O! This scene is all about the final C6 which Fleming renders with such force that the muffled "in house" audio suddenly becomes crystal clear as if she's standing right next to the microphone.
Massenet marks the high C fortissimo and Fleming doesn't scant. Enjoy.
