Opening Gala in Oslo: AIDA with Maria Guleghina

[Mropera111]

Maybe she could have worn a more loose fitting outfit?

@Lindow

In my opinon visible pyhysical support is something the audiance should not see, to my this means that her support is natural and without effort, as it should be.

[brynhildur1]

for me

[Lindow]

I saw her once in a recital which was quite painful. All the while I kept looking at her body wondering how she manages any sound at all with practically no visible means of physical support. And now watching her up close I am wondering the same again.

[ezayi]

@Lindow It is obvious the sound is supported. When you see that in a singer, it means they are over supporting. You never saw such a thing as "visible physical support" in Caballé, Price, Sutherland, Callas, Tebaldi, etc...

[Doromir]

She should have put her hair up in a bun. Her neck is too short and shoulders too big for wearing it down like that. Oh, was this supposed to be about singing? Sorry ;-)

[bladezone1]

Every uneven, phrasing and breath control are lacking.

ADORO LA GULEGHINA!

[lipera]

this is great! but, wasn't she suppose to sing "pieta del mio soffrir" at the end of the aria, instead of "pieta, pieta, pieta"??

[PenguinDemonRyuzaki]

Man. I wish I could be squealin' all opera like and such. I be thinkin' its being a fat gene and all. All the fat lugs I know be havin' such a wonderful voice. Even the male lads. I'm wanna get fat!!!

[lamusicahera]

Yes her style is a bit out of controll...

She have to book an stylist from New York...

But she sings with a real wonderful voice - I only miss more liric phrasing and more beautylines .... But she is one of this topvoices today and not this awful Netrebko Dasch Bartoli Dasch Harteros and some more who are only booked for the cameras (slim and cheap) and recordings...

[Bigman240]

She needs someone to choose her dresses and do her hair and makeup.

[furioberce]

URLA TROPPOOOOOOO URLA E URLA

[TreblesBasses]

WHO? WHAT? WHY?

[Heraopera]

Si, sie ! Certo, la Tebaldi e la Regina, la grande Voce! ......Sine qua non!

[pasielu]

ieri ho ascoltato su disco la stessa aria dalla voce della Tebaldi,c'è una differenza enorme.

[Heraopera]

She is a person which have to be a WORLD WIDE STAR AT TV! NOT this chickens like all this rubish leggierosopranos and all this Harterosgermanbeans, who think they have bella voce and are not able to sing correct italian and named herself Spinto! HAHAHAHA:..! LA Guleghina and la Gorchakova are the BRAVE E DIVINE E LE GRANDE DIVE!!!!!! But they are not such slim.... OK they are BIG VOICES WITH STAMINA AND BLOOD FOR OPERA! VIVA VERDI!

Stunning. A great role for her. Hideous outfit, though. :)
