Most of you are haters. This is beautiful singing.

Marina, continue to sing beautifully and act with feeling! Ignore the naysayers. I, too, have attended performances at the MET in which Poplavskaya has sung. Her Elisabetta in "Don Carlo" was outstanding. I heard her Tatiana in "Eugene Onegin" in London, and, it, too, was vocally majestic. While I personally did not like her Violetta, I chalked that up to casting. Her Desdemona in Salzburg was also outstanding. Her Liu in "Turandot" was, in my opinion, moving and vocally stunning.

This is a parody, even for this throwaway role. The hammy overacting, and thick unwieldy voice make Poplavskaya unfit to be singing even this. I have heard and seen the performances she's done at the MET in the last year or so and they have all been massive disappointments ESPECIALLY La Traviata.

Who at the MET is subjecting the audiences to this shit?

This voice is uneven from one moment to the next.

In the middle of the voice it sounds like she's trying to copy TeKanawa's creamy timbre, on top she sounds like Eaglen, but the voice shrinks in size unlike Eaglen (or most singers for that matter) and on the bottom....oh yeah, there is no bottom?

This is to say nothing of the constant gasping between phrases and her sluggish, coarse stage presence.

How fabulous is this?

Excellent - a young, unblemished voice: Marina Poplavskaya.

Too bad you can not hear the whole aria.
