Very good performance! Apart from de voice, which is beautiful, I would point out the acting, the first in which I don't see an effeminate Ptolemy, but a conceited boy! Thanks a lot!
So this recording is from 2005? I've seen Dumaux recently as Tolomeo in Lausanne and a year ago in this role in Vienna. For me Dumaux is at the moment the only counter tenor that convinces me in terms of chest register. I normally find that ct's voices are (at least on stage) somehow 2-dimensional and don't fill out the theatre profoundly. But Dumaux is surprisingly voluminous in these regions. Just checked his "A dispetto" from Beaune, that's really sublime, wow!
Cleopatra is only 17 and Tolomeo is her younger brother, Dumaux manages to create a teenaged villian, both very angry, and with the position to indulge that anger. But at the same time terribly inexperianced. He is a boy playing at a man, so it is natural that next to Cesare and Achillia he seems foolish. immaturity and power are a dangerous combination.
Jolie voix de poitrine, ok tout ca. Mais la vraie question c'est : le premier coup de pied, il monte plus haut que la tete ou c'est une impression ? :)
L'empio, sleale, indegno vorria rapirmi il regno, e disturbar cosi? la pace mia. Ma perda pur la vita, prima che in me tradita dall'avido suo cor la fede sia!
:D soprano est pour les femmes, donc ce type particulier de ténors sont appelés ainsi, mais pas contraire à la teneur. (Désolé pour les fautes, je suis en utilisant un traducteur automatique)
Hideux : pas de souffle, pas de couleur pas de musicalité, une manière de dégueuler "indegno" plutôt que de le chanter et le pompon pour le metteur en scène et son idée d'un combat dont on entend les chocs
He is cute, but Tolomeo seems, gay... i prefere the other guy, who is he? he is really cute and handsome! i want to be with him in the Nile, as Antinoo with Hadrianus... Tolomeo, seems, to need the favours of the other guy to be more easy...

Dumaux is the best Ptolomeo ever....
Exactly how this character should be: young, spoilt, petulant, and utterly nuts. lovely.
Mindblowing.... Christophe Dumaux, where have you been all my life??
Beautiful! Dumaux is about the best Tolomeo, as far as I'm concerned.
still is! Saw him a couple of weeks ago in this very production, great as ever (both).
I like Drew Minter
I totally agree. The Tolomeo ever!
DIEU ACCUEILLEZ DANS VOTRE PARADIS L'ÂME DE MONSIEUR DE HAENDEL !!!💛🌿✝️🌿💛🎼🎶🎻🎻🎻🎶🎼💛🌿🧖♂️🐇
just the most beautiful male alto voice at this present
I can watch/listen to this over and over. It's just... perfect. 8-)
Bravo,e grande teatralità!

Magnifico!Impressionnante!
yes, exactly, great voice.
C'est sûrement le plus hétéro des contre ténors actuels ! Mais je suis sûr que ça le ferait beaucoup rire. il a un talent fou
Yes, this live recording is from 2005 at Glyndebourne opera House .
contre-ténor

Tolomeo is meant to be a bit effeminate. Cleopatra accuses him of such in her aria - so his interpretation is spot on.
@baalhaophanim I think he is the baritone Christopher Maltman.
Like Gaetano Barendstad
Tell him the truth... u.u
Je trouve que Dumeaux aie du raison. Il crie "indegno" parce que cela veux dire un villain. Il haït Cesare.

@ouah77 Peut-être toi...

Too fast for my musical taste.
