Editor's note

Arielle Dombasle, a French singer and actress

Her 1994 cover of "Lakmé" topped the French charts and defined her sound.

For a quick sense of her, start with "Lakmé" and maybe "Quizas, Quizas, Quizas." They capture that mix of opera and chanson she does.

Dombasle's version of Léo Delibes' aria "Lakmé" became a chart-topper in France, and it's still the song most people know her by. She built a catalog that mixes classical pieces like "Sebben Crudele" with French chansons and adaptations such as "Quien Sera (Sway)." Her 1998 opera role in "Mysterium" included a controversial simulated orgasm scene, which shows she wasn't afraid to push boundaries.

She released her debut single "C'est si bon" in 1984, a decade before "Lakmé" made her famous. Albums like "Extase" in 1996 and "Les Idoles" in 2004 followed, blending classical and popular styles.

Archive material and source history

Arielle Dombasle is a French actress and singer who became known for her 1994 cover of Léo Delibes' aria "Lakmé." That recording reached the top of the French charts and remains her most recognizable piece. She had released a debut single called "C'est si bon" a decade earlier, in 1984.

Her repertoire includes classical pieces like "Sebben Crudele" and "Ave Maria," as well as French chansons and adaptations like "Quien Sera (Sway)." She has put out albums such as "Extase" in 1996 and "Les Idoles" in 2004.

Dombasle's performances have sometimes drawn attention for being unconventional. In 1998, her role in the opera "Mysterium" included a scene that simulated an orgasm on stage, which sparked criticism at the time.
