[Eglezrguez]

(continuación) Pero en conjunto por interpretación,fuerza y voz .La mejor, bravo... Así se interpreta opera

[Eglezrguez]

Fantástica , después de ver y oir a muchas sopranos,esta aria "Poison " de Romeo y Juliette.Actualmente muy difícil de superar esta actuación de Netrebko. Ha habido mejor vocaliizacion.y registros de voz. Pero en conjunto la

[dkcel]

This must be the same performance as the recent recording on the CD "Live at The Met". That Anna is fantastic is beyond discussion, but her performance in this aria is simply outstanding. I have never heard anything that comes close to this in perfection. Brava! Anna.

[tumtillia]

She may have been born a generation too late to be compared to Maria Callas, but she deserves a spot in the greats of the opera.

[greeneffintractor]

she deserves the whole world and more

[MademoiselleSonushka]

Impressive in this role! And her french is excellent!

[arcore68]

bravissima!!!grande!!!!Anna !!!!!!!

[vendettamia]

She is amazing! Adore her!

[lpw0021]

dayamn

[Eileentiu]

She's really good in exhibiting psychological dimensions while singing with subtle effects.

[angelzizou]

Anna let me be your Romeo :)

Fantastic acting

[MrBazBazBaz]

Is it me, or could Ms Netrebko be pregnant here....or is it a very flowy dress....?

[kundry20]

Ms. Netrebko is the STAR she is for a reason. She truly is heavenly. WHAT AN AMAZING PERFORMANCE! Tears and chills. Thank you, Anna.

[kundry20]

Ms. Netrebko is the STAR she is for a reason. She truly is heavenly. WHAT AN AMAZING PERFORMANCE! Tears and chills. Thank you, Anna.

[kitchavez]

She lights up the stage!

[lanimabilanganligot]

This is just beautiful! You can see why she has the voice of an angel.

[thibaultguerin1310]

Aimerais vraiment la voir à Marseille !!!!!!!!!!! 

[harvinsky]

I love Anna Netrebko. She's got beautiful looks, beautiful voice and a gift for acting.

I know she's already a diva, but I want her to be a super diva.

To be a super diva, imho, she would improve french pronunciation.

[violetavalery]

Ecco una artista!!!!!!!!!

[classicalgalNYC]

This aria fits her voice like a glove =]

[CuteMcBeauty]

Trying to recreate the Zefirelli look for Juliet... and with Netrebko.... Ohhhh simply supreme!!!!!

[isisnefret]

I thought she was Olivia Hussey from the Zeffirelli's Roméo & Juliette... So much beauty in this world...

[fumiespike]

Che Bravo!!!!!!Ha cantato a dove?

[andreea94a]

Divine creature

[dalferr]

Brava!

[dreycell]

Anna é maravilhosa !

É a sucessora de Maria Callas

[Royhorse1]

I say goodbye to these pages of Anna Netrebko. I am not available right now, But I thank you for caring enough to write and reply . I am making some changes in my life. Please leave a message if so you wish it. If I do Not return your message, you are one of those changes.

[JasminaH79]

I was in the audience for this and screamed my face off after she sang this aria. I wanted to run up to the stage and give her a scary fanatic fan hug. Her voice was so great in this role. Then I went to see her Lucia and it was one third of this voice. Totally weird. I totally love her though

[gustavoanmosura]

IMPRESIONANTE

[LoveDessay]

I think she's to thick for this role... great singing(it kind of bothering though when she's a little off pitch) great acting but I like dessay's

[mgarovano]

eccellente Netrebko.

[anyany]

Bravissimo!!!

[DonRolini]

What an amazing sound! so big. This is where she belongs!

[youfeda]

che forza ha questa donna!

[petitspirouet]

domage, il n'y aura jamais de dvd de cette performance.ils sont sublime, roberto et anna. heureusement, il y a le met players.

[LondonLite02]

I know that no one is more divisive a subject than La Netrebko, but frankly, she kicks in here. When I first saw it on MetPlayer, her "Amour, ranime mon courage" made me want to leap out of my seat with excitement. I don't know if she's the best, but she is one exciting singer and that is what opera needs in today's day and age. Brava indeed!

[raetselAO]

elle a une voix magnifique :)

[GoilofdaNewsies]

I love this song! my friends would laugh, but I absolutely adore it!

[katesinger]

shes SOOO not my pick for Juliette!

[FlyingElephant20]

She's too loud. It's awful!

[sorkin777]

For all self appointed critics here is what real critics have to say: singing as sweetly as a bell struck with a surprising outburst of coloratura, Anna is at the tipping point of serious diva fame ..She has that bel canto gift of singing like a windswept lark on a bright day, and an acting style combining the natural with the daring. Anna has been hailed as the centurys most spectacular voice with extraordinary beauty to match. NY Post Clive Garnes

[hendrite]

Aetion, you are seeing her (I believe) pregnant here.....perhaps in the early months of it.....but notice even in her met Lucia she had lost the baby weight....goes to show that even stars have a hard time losing that weight! Also, I believe she was pregnant when she filmed Boheme....her face looks fuller and the costumes a little more generous than normal for her. How interesting that so many high profile things were filmed while pregnant!

[vasile19830109]

oh, ya! she has the big voice!

[rawdonqueen]

I admit that her version of "Je veut vivre" is laboered, but Netrebko's performance of this aria is stunning. I love darkness, the slavic richness of her voice.

[ArtMusa]

For me this is one of her best performances ever!!! This aria suits her voice, her way of singing and interpretation: I think, like they sometimes skip this aria if they have a lighter Juliette, in her case they should skip "Je veux vivre"...

[Aetion]

Well sung, but is she here a little fat, or the video is showing her like this?

[thugman30]

Well shouted!

[heartstrings76]

thugman i agree. So much of the artificial big voice.

[candide43201]

her Voice is like 10 times bigger then angela!!!I heard her do this..it s was very round and dramatic in the house

[me148]

This was my first opera ever- since that every performance, I've become an opera addict.

I WISH that her I Capuletti with Elina Garanca at the ROH was broadcast this year. Bellini's take on the story would certainly have better vocal music - but Gounod's has more passion.

[bronislavai]

Angela Gheorghiu is much much better. Anna has not enough voice for this. I sow Angela live in Orange with Roberto Allagna - it was amazing!!!

[vincik80]

stupenda...

[classicalgal14]

LOVE THIS SHE IS PERECT FOR THIS!

[madziua90]

very beautiful... isn't she better here than in 'Je veux vivre"? 'Je veux vivre' is not so beautiful...

[khothye]

WOW, In my opinion this is the best of Netrebko with her Manon, Adina and Violetta. She should sing Margarita too (and not Lucia...)

[classicalgal14]

Her Lucia is just different becuase has such a darl timber :) I did like her Met Lucia can't for Boheme next year

[saradeluna]

Wow!!

[duaname]

that was INCREDIBLE!!! Fantastic acting vocally even from top to bottom. crazy great!

[marioj34]

Close the eyes >>> Écoutez >>>> Anna Netrebko is fan of M. Freni and that gets along!!!!!. Splendid.

[guappaione]

I saw this at the Met and it was one of the most beautiful performances I've ever seen. She was so spectacular I couldn't stop cheering and applauding.

[meriomeri]

This opera was wicked hot!

[Heraopera]

The music is not interpreted from this sopranolina...excuse very boring...she have to be more expressiv and honest...but the curiosity is that she is honest as a childish and very egocentric person from the new POPOPERADECADE...OK bettern than Bartoli but nothing to die for... at the moment ...

[lungdoc]

I feel like I want to jump on stage and rescue her....Sure it would be crowded upthere!

[DoinItClassy]

if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.

:]

[xgianpatrick]

This isn't a midwestern junior high production of Pippin...it's the world stage, supposedly at the highest professional level. She stinks, and I sharpen my darts every evening.

[DoinItClassy]

Well... that's immature.

Why don't you just watch videos of sopranos you actually like rather than watching EVERY video of Anna Netrebko just so you can repeatedly say how horrible you think she is?

[opera10er]

well if this were true there would be no need for critics. and whether or not you share the same opinion is irrelevant. its what makes art so special, everyone feels it his own way. She sings out of tune and not very classy phrasing. Not clean and not true to the style. I appreciate her attempt at the emotion, but i dont find it sincere. I see antics and tricks. also not a fan of this production. Some people would scream bravo if she sang it from some other orifice and they are entitled.

[Djoowntjuh]

Rofl ... patience is a virtue

[victoriamadeus]

One of her best performances,siply gorgeous, it fits her voice so well and shows it's beauty and power...

superb!!!

[sour7lemon]

After seeing this, I now respect her for her vocal skills. this was stunning

[Fundudehh7]

like wow, its like watching a really really good movie except better, she's so wonderfully dramatic

[PucciniCallas]

She gave an amazinf performance that night! Amazing voice and great actress!!

[jpds22]

so the trills aren't there who cares. The pain is and the charater of juliet is. You are looking at the superficiality of music. Look at expression and how she portrays the character. Its marvelous

[DessayBestSinger]

She's so great! I don't care about the trills!

And such a great actress!

[musoph21]

it sorta reminds me of lady Macbeth

[operajasmotta]

she was amazing in this role. One of the very best things I have ever seen in my life. She was mesmerizing.

[Luindriel]

I was lucky enough to see this live and she sounds even better live than she does here. There is no amplification at the Met. It's all Anna and all wonderful!

[barleggero]

Unsteady high notes...

yeah right... LOOL

you guys really have nothing else to complain about.

"oh there are no trills", for christ's sake! Why no one ever complains about Callas' lack of real trills? Hers weren't any better than Netrebko's. Just because she doesn't sound like a Star Trek phaser weapon you talk about it as if she was absolutely talentless, as if someone's talent could be measured to the virtuosity of one's trills.

really! it's getting ridiculuosly pointless, this criticism

[Ichichan0326]

I love this opera so much ♥

[Lizzyjean5]

dramatically amazing. She is such a powerhouse vocally.

[evolt56]

Who cares about the trills and diction! Just hear the applause at the end, sounds like a standing ovation.

[TheAleph74]

They are applauding her looks.

[ARReith]

is she amplified when she puts her back to the audience?

[lusciousbobby]

I got interested in opera as a result of my interest in high quality audio equipment. This year I took a subscription. I've not seen or heard any evidence of sound enhancement. The sound of the singers and the orchestra is extremely focused and easy to pinpoint. Also, the hall is very warm and alive, reducing the need to reinforce sound.

They have enormous recording resources, though. For example, you can see robotic cameras moving along the wings during taping.

[mylittlepony34]

Sometimes it's better to use headphones if the video's sound is not good/soft. I know it's not good for the ears if headphones are used for a long time.

[DoinItClassy]

She sounds incredible here

[ARReith]

This music is stunning!!

[petitspirouet]

a lusciousbobby, mon francais est bon, mais, pour les dvds opera en francais, en italien, en russe, en allemand je met les sous titres, les chanteurs sont toujour difficiles a comprendre meme dans leur langue d'origine.

[Elisabetta611]

Where the hell are the trills?

[lusciousbobby]

my french isn't very good, but I do believe Petitspirouet had no problem with Anna's pronunciation, and I'd bet a bunch Petitspirouet knows a whole lotta upper class French.

[petitspirouet]

j'espere qu'ils sortiront un dvd, surtout avec villazon.Alagna est tres bien aussi.

[lusciousbobby]

osvaldito55 alleges she lacks affect, a psychoanalytic term. I agree. Anna played Juliet very mechanically, and yet, I put it to the critics to find fault with her singing.

[osvaldito55]

I said her affect was odd, not lacking. Perhaps she's trying to portray the emotional ups and downs of Juliet (who was not quite fourteen).  This is a very difficult scene.

[Operaphile]

I didn't find her mechanical. You'd find more "mechanical" performance coming from some of the greats of the business such as Sutherland & Pavarotti(not htis work of course), but they're still wonderful!!! I agree, I think she's going for the "mad scene" approach. Personally, i think this is one of her better roles. It's far more suited to her lyric voice than Elvira or Lucia or even Violetta. I hope they release a live recording of her and Rolando singing - I don't like prima donna Alagna :)

[lusciousbobby]

I don't much care for this opera, so I start out with a prejudice. I saw the fabulous Anna do Juliet twice at the Met this year and I listened and watched another half dozen times, including twice this week on PBS.

A lot of the problem IMHO, is this is just not a great opera, so it falls to the performer to win or lose the day. If Anna has one notable fault it's that she's technically so good she invites scrutiny and random disdain. "How can someone so purdy be any good"? (more)

[petitspirouet]

le chant, c'est du Netrebko. les deplacements, c'est du Netrebko.le jeu d'actrice, c'est netrebko.c'est magnifique , j'adore cette femme qui met le feu sur scene, et on ne s'endore pas en la regardant et en l'ecoutant.mais, il en faut pour touts les gouts, certains prefairent dormir en ecoutant la musique.

[TheAleph74]

First of all, where are the trills??? What's up with that??? I can't agree more with the acting: absolutely exaggerated. Her voice does sound fresh as someone else mentioned. It was only an "ok" performance in my humble opinion.

[Klassizismus]

The singing is quite OK, apart from some insecure high notes. But the acting is absolutely exaggerated and not convincing at all. Her voice sounds surprisingly fresh here - in general.

[lumosmaxima]

Brilliant, ok-ok singing. the lack of trills and the bad diction detracts from the acting though.

[osvaldito55]

I'm at a loss here... There are nice moments, vocally and dramatically. Still, there's something not quite right, but I can't put my finger on it.  Her affect, at times, is a bit odd. Other operatic deaths come to mind (Butterfly, Tosca, Gioconda, the Trovatore Leonora, even Isolde). It seems Juliette got lost somewhere.

[puccinilover]

I totally just watched this
