  • her voice is like a mixture of honey, milk, and cognac

    LOVE IT!

  • OMG! Forget the singing...(I mean, its fabulous,) but what a presence on stage. This is an amazing singing actor.. Take notes sopranos...

  • This woman is outstanding in everyway

  • I love her take on this! It's great and she truly brings out the beauty of this particular scene. Very very wonderful performance, bravo!

  • Pretty bird :)

  • An exceptional performance. This one really makes my eyes water.

    Intoxicating to my soul. Brava Anna.

  • Handn't seen this one... my God!!! This breaks my heart...

  • She looks like a Hollywood A-List actress.

  • @samdmill I would put it another way - she is definitely more beautiful than any present-time Hollywood actress.

  • Her voice brings me closer to God, whichever it is... Soul touching, romantic experience.. Timeless.

  • I'm a fan of Anna Netrebko. I like this interpretation, but I think her voice here is a bit more metallic than it really is. I prefer her with her​voice more opaque.

  • Impressive!

  • Самый лучший хор, не сравнить ни с какими другими театрами!!!И Нетребко здесь - просто блеск!!!

  • Divina Anna, me encanta su timbre oscuro. Es una de las pocas sopranos a las que escucharia todo el dia sin cansame. A veces la encuentro fria en su actuacion pero su voz es maravillosa.

  • I am not a fan of Netrebko, though I think she is quite beautiful and has a decent stage presence at times, but I have to eat my words and say this is good. Not GREAT, but quite good. Brava.

  • Netrebko has a good stage presence and some acting skills. And of course beautiful, for some. Voice? Its big but no great shakes. I like silvery voices in Bel Canto roles--not this deep tone stuff. To put it in reverse, it'd be like if a coloratura tried to do Wagner--why do it? Torture the audience? Wreck your voice? I wouldn't go out of my way to see Netrebko in this---Don Carlo, Forza? Maybe.

  • That is Good.......Brava

  • The best even in moderate forme

  • B R A V A ! ! ! !

  • Comment removed

  • belleza y voz son raras veces vistas, anna netrebko personaliza esa singular dualidad...exquisita y soñadora.....un angel caido en tierras rusas.....privilegiada por ser cuna de grandes autores, directores y artistas de opera como Anna...felicidades...

  • She is just sensational...

  • Essa mulher não existe! Que linda, que talento, que tudo!

  • I have this whole performance (live transmission) recorded on DVD :)

  • Meravigliosa, l'unica, la piu bella

  • Que bella es Anna Netrebko, es hermosa

  • What a gorgeous gem! A lovely voice and what an actress!

  • Anna es un sueño...su voz tan esquisita...si algun dia los angeles tuvieran voz, esa seria la de Anna Netrebko....¡¡BRAVO ANNA!!

  • This is beautiful! And this coming from a non-fan. She no longer sounds like this.

  • italian, most beautiful language in the world to me. opera just as beautiful.

  • 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.

  • @Royhorse1 your so over dramatic

  • Hammer is not a reliable person, hammer speak ill of his friends and allies.

  • Deliciosa Criatura. Un inapreciable regalo para los sentidos.

  • Anna Netrebko by THE LOVE OF GOD, AND NOT ALREADY Allows maa10able, 09avenger, ad80ad, spqrmor and others,will them CONTINUE with your STUPID mantra , BECAUSE AGAIN come back "you-know-who."

    In the dictionary there is one word: Masochism.

  • ¡¡¡ Que belleza !!!

    ¡¡¡ Que belleza !!!

    ¡¡¡ Una voz de ensueño !!!

    ¡¡¡ Besos Anna !!!

  • yes

  • She is such an exceptional singer. The video is amazing.

  • carina e bella voce

  • Gorgeous singing voice! i hate how short this aria is. It needs to be longer. Yet it makes me cry everytime I hear it.

  • e strano and sempre libera is longer.

  • Yes, that aria is longer and more lively.

  • Anything by Anna is ok.

  • She's a great actress and singer.

  • I love her voice!

  • I love her voice. You can't get sick of it.

  • Once you get sick, just listen to her voice.

  • Like if you get sick, just enjoy her voice.

  • She has a golden tone.

  • That is something that is unique about her, the golden tone.

  • There's hardly a better sound of this available.

  • @tsena6 yes golden, I also love Flagstad, golden also.

  • @tsena6 Her middle voice evokes pathos. I don't like a lot of her work but she definitely made me cry with this very simple and yet heartfelt and simply beautiful singing.

  • i agree.

  • I got sick of it.

  • Neterbko is the best - all hate comments are just PURE ENVY !!!

  • Striker, you better mow grass or cut firewood. For opera you're really too dumb! :)))))))

  • Comment removed

  • It's not as heartbreaking as Callas or Moffo but she is a joy to watch here. The production is gorgeous and her acting more Violetta like than in Salzburg.

  • Callas voice no match for Netrebko's.

  • WHO IS "WE ALL"???

    Are you paranoiac???

    Of course we criticize

    Mrs. Callas. Her metallic

    voice, her hairy elephant

    legs and the fact, that she

    was ONLY the Diva for

    yellow press and really

    deceitful adulteress.

    Have a good one!

  • Yellow press? I doubt the likes of Serafin, de Sabata, Porter, Steane, Blyth, Kesting, Pavarotti, Fleming, Netrebko (!), Sutherland, Tebaldi ETC. ETC. are "Yellow Press". And as for being an adulteress.... Treb's hubby was married and had a child before abandoning his family for Treb. And I've seen many pictures of Callas, her legs never struck me as elephant like (Rather too thin) or hairy. She had edema in her legs which harmed her circulation. Hardly something to mock.

  • Filaredo/Belman, you continue to diss La Divina, therefore all her male fans must symbolically butt-fuck Annushka!! Yes, we all symbolically punish her for your words

    against La Divina!!

  • She rules all over opera world

    Her tickets everywhere are sold

    Her beauty is magnetic shine

    Her singing's luscious and fine!

  • Striker

    who is WE? You're alone!

    Nobody accept you and everybody hate you....... who is WE?

  • This is gorgeous! I feel sorry for anyone who feels compelled to rubbish it. Enjoy and don't compare!

  • FILAREDOS continue to diss CAllas the Great. Contact FILAREDO if you don't like my comments. Until then we must all come on the Russian pig sow Anna's face.

  • To be honest is too slow, and the sound quality is not so good (this is a concertato, not a solo). Netrebko is great, but it's true: the acting is very contained.

  • Her beauty is almost a distraction from the fact that her singing is very good here. I feel though that she misses a lot of the dramatic potential of this heart-wrenching scene. Netrebko's acting is very contained. That said, how often to such gorgeous Violettas come around? Not very.

  • Anna Netrebko, who had just sung with a huge success in a sold-out concert with Massimo Giordano at Salle Pleyel, Paris on 1. Oct 2009, started the rehearsals for "l'Elisir d'Amore" on 2. Oct 2009, just the day after the concert.

  • Your dreams are sick!!!

  • Filaredo catoroma, Netrebko the Russian Prostitute is all done! She is quitting singing! It's on Youtube, under her website blogs. I'm glad to see her go, she makes me sick. If you are connected to her, I hope she kills you for causing her global dislike. You did it Filaredo, you killed NEtrebko's career. She should kill you, you scum-sucking bitch.

  • I'm not Netrebko's fan, but it is very good (and I don't think about her beauty)

  • Crappy striker9410 is only silly bitch!!

    HAW, haw, haw,haw........a jealous wicked witch!

  • Striker I have read you're the model of "WALTER" the doll from Jeff Dunham!!

    BTW, the boys from aryan brotherhood will visit you!!

    I have met your daughter last night in a brothel. You're right, she's a dirty slut and only a 2Dollar whore!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Hahahahaha, good one!!!

  • May be there are better singers from a technical point of view. But I don't care. Anna Netrebko performence softens my heart, opens my soul and lightens my mind.

  • Mtnmanjt

    you're only a dirty american arsehole and you remind me at "Walter" the doll from Jeff Dunham!!!

    HAW!HAW!HAW!HAW!HAW!HAW!HAW!HA­W!HAW!

    If I get you in NY in November you look like "Achmed the Terrorist".....LOL

    S I L E N C E ........ I kill you!!!!!!!!

  • Stop being horrible, it's great, just enjoy it.

  • MTNMANJT you're the PEDO!

    I have seen many PM's to little young girls from you and if people like you are on YouTube is a shame. You're a thug and if FILAREDO comes to USA he must beat you!!

    DEAD FOR CHILD ABUSER like you!!!

  • PEDO FILAREDO!! What names are you using tonight, sluts n' bitches? Who are you today shit lips. The Americans are working on a great big load of shit for you and Anna Netrebko's happy lips!!

  • HA! HA! PEDO FILAREDO!!! Playing the piano with little kids sitting on his lap!!! The only PEDO here, is PEDO FILAREDO!! You've never seen any PMs to young girls from me, the only pms you've seen to young people is from your

    pal FILAREDO THE PEDO!! Yes, come to NY, and beat me to death. I'll be waiting with a small bucket full of my freshest garlic/onion combo shit, for FILAREDO THE PEDO'S face!!!

  • FILAREDO THE PEDO!!!! Do you want to fight? Do you ever come to the US? I say you're a man-bitch! PEDO FILAREDO!!!

  • This is the definitive version.

  • SORRY! SORRY! SORRY!SORRY!SORRY! SORRY! SORRY!

    dear ANNA NETREBKO, you're no opera whore...... I mean this slut CALLAS.......sorry, you're the greatest soprano of all the time!!!!

    Sorry folks, I'm a idiot!!!!!

  • That's right. Callas is the slut. She's only good for Onassis. Callas Onassis whore.

  • CALLAS IS THE REAL WHORE!!!!

  • what is wrong with you?

    I'm not a singer, but I have friends who are and they keep telling me how mean and awful that opera world is.. I can see why!

  • Danielags, there is nothing wrong with me, I'm a fine person. However there is a group of people ( Filaredo, Bellafredina, etc. ) who want to attack a dead woman, who can't defend herself, ( Maria Callas ).

    Someone has to defend her, so I guess it's me. Sorry I'm not perfect, and courteous, and nice, but when you fight scum, you pull out all stops. Don't like my comments? E-mail them and tell them they are some kind of sick bastards that everybody wants to punch in the face.

  • If Anna read your comments she would be hurt and she wouldn't know that's the reason you are making them.

  • danielags16 , - mtnmanjt is just a psycho, do not mind him. Anna is great. The tikets to her concert were sold in 14 minutes! She has received a standing ovation! I cannot wait to see het at the MET this December

  • That production got a lot of press for Netrebko's peerless singing and the fact that she was clad in only a slip. Reportedly, conductor Nicolas Harnoncourt had searched almost five years for the ultimate Donna Anna, and with Netrebko, he found her.

  • Thigman30 is a MISSING LINK - we need to contact the anthropology museum - what a sensation!

  • Thugman30s brain activity has no variety of thoughts, no depth, and no trills. His brain activity is seriously underdeveloped - his brain vibrato is within a dynamic range of schizophrenia and is simply lacking the agility to pull it all off. Thugman30 has poor imagination, no precise control of emotions and poor diction. Thus, he is severely lacking the technical depth of Homo Sapience Sapience. He is sitting in Mozambique under his favorite palm tree. He just fall and broke his tail.

  • LOL!!!

  • Real critics who don't know anything about music. LOL.

    Gone was the sleek, silvery tone that once coursed with thrilling precision through the most demanding vocal assignments. Gone, too, was the focus on emotional and dramatic detail that brought fresh insights to a range of roles.

  • San Francisco 2009 - from real criitcs - "From the opening scene dressed in a white sequined gown, followed by a black evening dress at the gambling parlor to her final dying scene in negligee, she epitomized elegance, grace, and astonishing beauty. Her voice has become fuller with ample power in all octaves. She has incredible dynamic range from a poignant whisper to full exclamatory willpower, with joy and angst. At times, she had to hold back somewhat so as not to over sing Alfredo".

  • SCAT! IDIOT!

  • Anna Moffo is also vocally more appealing.

  • Moffo is a better actress.

  • Your Moffo does not sound long ago.Please don't comment the things you don' understand and leave at last AN's pages.That's the best you can do.

  • Old people with her opinion... always the same old story! Boring! What's past is past.

    We are the young generation and we love the new opera. The new audience demand more than a comparison of high tones because a singer today must be a optimal mix of actress, unmistakable voice and body!

    The rest and the "old connoisseurs" must hear and see the old opera on YT.

    Dessay was the last of the shouting hags on stage.

  • I agree Dessay is such a bad actress - overkilling each role, she has no taste but pretends to be a ""singing actress"" LOL! I saw her Lucia and Sonnambula - the acting was really bad. Her voice is very unpleasant too, especially on high notes.

  • She has beauty, charisma, depth of feeling...and she can sing pretty good too.

    All-round a winner.

  • Comment removed

  • I agree, Netrebko is a gift from God, her sound is amazing! When I listen to her I am in heaven.

  • The voice is just too soft and lacks the sharp articulation to be fully understood and convey the attitude of the character. Whatever her native accent may be, it's never hard to adopt "Stage Opera" and simply pronounce.

  • Anna's traviata San Fr - "From the opening scene dressed in a white sequined gown, followed by a black evening dress at the gambling parlor to her final dying scene in negligee, she epitomized elegance, grace, and astonishing beauty. Her voice has become fuller with ample power in all octaves. She has incredible dynamic range from a poignant whisper to full exclamatory willpower, with joy and angst. At times, she had to hold back somewhat so as not to over sing Alfredo."

    Brava Anna!

  • Belisimo!

  • Oh wouh ....... you are soooooo important!

    Inexcusably how we could forget that you are sooooooooooo important. You are the MOST IMPORTANT with YT.

    In future we will never forget that you're sooooooooooooooo important ! And if we forget that you are sooooooooooooooooooooo important - reminds us!!

    Yap, Thugman you are the all most important snob!!!

  • sorkin, this is too boring and making me sick. When I listened to Moffo, Callas and Fleming yesterday it was all good because they were great singers. Time for me to listen to them again.

    Verdi must be turning over his grave!

  • Thugman30s brain activity is seriously underdeveloped - has no variety of thoughts, no depth, and no trills. His brain vibrato is within a dynamic range of schizophrenia, appears to be very shallow, monotonous, weak and unbalanced; It is simply lacking the correct pitch and agility to pull it all off. He has poor imagination, no precise control of emotions and poor diction. Thus, he is severely lacking the technical depth of Homo Sapience. He recently fell from a palm tree and broke his tail.

  • Still weak, I'd rather listen to Callas, Fleming or Moffo.

  • thugman30, suit yourself and f... of from Anna's pages! We are sick of your mediocre criticism

  • I'm just sick of her shallow, monotonous and weak voice. Time for me to listen to the great singers!

  • thugman30 - what a great idea! have fun somewhere else!

  • I agree.

  • Tthugman30 - is a self appointed critic - he flyes to Europe from Mosambique, attends Netrebko's performance and then goes back to his alma mater and while sitting under his favorite palm tree starts commenting harshy on Anna's singing. He also goes after every positive comment on her by other people insulting them too - WHAT A MORON!

  • Dziękuję Oneguin65 za cudowne nagranie. Kocham tę operę.

  • Only the ones who haven't slept with Netrebko wrote that. There are still many knowledgabe newspaper critics out there. Also the ones who call Lang Lang as Bang Bang.

  • hugman30, you are the skum of the earth

  • Unfortunately there are actually few critics with the breadth of listening experience to realize how debased, simplistic and uninsightful most opera performance has become

  • Whatever456,

    the real critics write:

    Splendidly, perfect representation, delightfully blinded registers, clear, clean top tones, all in all, a top achievement!!!

    YOU HAVE LIED! What cheek!

  • Its so easy to antagonize you, I can't restrain myself. Those real critics are as entitled to their opinion as I am to mine and you are to yours. Her top was anything but clear and clean. Arroyo had a clear clean top, although she was as placid and dull much of the time as Netrebko. Netrebko's top the night I heard her was pushed and coarse. A quality well suited to Gioconda but not Violetta. You don't know what "to lie" means. I stated an opinion, not an eternal truth.

  • Its not incisive. I don't know if she is never incisive. But in this instance she seems to have nothing to say

  • No. It's muddy and no clarity.

  • thugman30 , WHY, DO YOU CARE IF THIS IS SUPERB OR NOT? YOU BASH EVERYHING ANYWAY. YOU BASHED ANNA'S DICTION IN RUSSIAN - WHICH IS PERFECT! Get a lige!

  • This is boring. Fleming, Callas and Moffo give superb renditions. This is too weak.

  • This is lazy singing. Listen to Anna Moffo Alfredo, di questo core.
