EXTRACT | ’La Chanson d’Olympia’ from Offenbach’s THE TALES OF HOFFMANN – Komische Oper Berlin

The mechanical doll Olympia (Nicole Chevalier) sings “Les oiseaux dans la charmille“, one of the most difficult coloratura arias ever composed for soprano. As the aria’s nickname “Doll’s Song“ suggests, Olympia’s mechanical gear has to be wound up repeatedly so that she can continue singing.
