  • Ma che regia per una Medea ............

  • Very good

  • She sounds flat in many places. But very good effort.

  • troppo lenta.

  • la signora Antonacci con Medea proprio non ha nulla a che spartire..

  • its not Callas, but its not bad!

  • dear MadonnaImperia, don't say nonsense - you obviously don't know what you're talking about-Antonacci is a real artist, every role is a personal interpretation, and as you know producers adore her - so, please, dont' be ridiculous; you can agree or disagree, of course, and yes, she's a very peculiar singer- but as an artist, she has very very few terms of comparision - and on stage, in Torino, she was really exciting -

  • To MadonnaImperia, concerning consonants and text understanding, I suggest you listen to Caballé's Medea a bit...

  • the role of Medea is not a dramatic soprano and Antonacci doesn't pretend she is one; I heard 2 performances in Turin and both were excellent

  • Not a dramatic soprano for this role???

    You gotta be joking me!

    Maybe you think Katheleen Battle would fit this well, or perhaps Natalie Dessay?

  • I don't quite agree... she has a different approach to the role that doesn't show in such a short excerpt... she has sung a lot of Monteverdi, Gluck and Handel and that helps here; Medea is not a dramatic soprano role, this category didn't exist in the late 18th ct. anyway!

  • No, she's not a dramatic soprano, but she tries to sound like one, which is what makes her high notes strained and flat. It is such hard work for her to try to cope with the musical demands that she has no ressources left to try to interpret - she can't even pronounce the conconants properly.

  • Antonacci is the most convincing Medea after Callas; this wasn't very well recorded though and the moderator is ridiculous! We will have to wait for the DVD and hope that RAI 3 does a good job

  • Her voice is not devilish enough for this role..she's not even a dramatic soprano

  • This soprano is really, really awful - I wonder why she was hired for the role!
