Soprano Sabine Devieilhe's signature operatic role, Lakm�, forms the starting point for her enticing albumMirages. A collection of opera and song in French, it's theme is the exotic allure of faraway - and imagined - places and people. In addition to three numbers from Delibes' opera, it features music by Berlioz, Debussy and Stravinsky and some rarer names: Thomas, Messager, Koechlin and Delage. Devieilhe is joined by mezzo-soprano Marianne Crebassa, pianist Alexandre Tharaud and the period-instrument orchestra Les Si�cles under it's founder, Fran�ois-Xavier Roth.
