Natalie Dessay Stars With Her Daughter in a French ‘Gypsy'
That 'Gypsy' is finally making its debut in France would be noteworthy enough: It took 66 years for one of the most acclaimed works in the musical-theater canon to get there. But there is an extra twist. The production running Thursday through Saturday at the Philharmonie de Paris stars the soprano Natalie Dessay and her daughter, Neïma Naouri, as Rose, the stage mother to end all stage mothers, and Louise, Rose's long-suffering older child. 'Well, that's acting,' Dessay, 59, said when asked if there was baggage involved with bringing the show's psychodrama to life with her daughter. 'I can play the evil witch and she can play Snow White — it's theater.' 'Yes,' Naouri, 26, interjected, 'but sometimes you lose yourself in the character, and I can't tell the difference between reality and fiction.' They laughed before Dessay jumped back in. 'It's not any more complicated than anything else,' she said. 'But above all it's more pleasant since we know each other very well and we already have this mother-daughter relationship, so we don't have to create it. We actually have fun with it.' Their bond was clear in a joint video conversation from France as the pair huddled over a phone — Naouri had helped her mother turn on the camera — keeping an animated banter going the entire time.
