"Itâs theater. Yes, Naouri, 26, interjected, but sometimes you lose yourself in the character, and I can't tell the difference between reality and fiction."
"But above all it's more pleasant since we know each other very well and we already have this mother-daughter relationship, so we donât have to create it."
"Dessay, 59, said when asked if there was baggage involved with bringing the showâs psychodrama to life with her daughter. I can play the evil witch and she can play Snow White."
"Their bond was clear in a joint video conversation from France as the pair huddled over a phone, keeping an animated banter going the entire time."
