With her eternally fresh, playful and tangy tone, her vast repertoire ranging from the lightest operetta to avant-garde music, and her commitment to arts education and the promotion of opera, Mady Mesplé was one of the most popular sopranos of her generation. She is also a mainstay of our catalogue (with countless recordings made for EMI France and Erato), to which we will pay tribute in the coming months, starting with this delightful recital of operettas by Lehár, Lecocq, Offenbach and Strauss.
