  • c'est parce que les chansons de l'opéra ont deux caractéristiques: la prononciation de toutes les syllabes les unes après les autres, et la répétition.

    anna est superbe dans tous les opéras qu'elle chante. sa voix est tellement pure et claire. et elle a une présence sur scène inouïe... incroyable !!!

  • elle chante à merveille, oui !!! et en fançais, elle fait une Juliette pleine de vie.

    MAGNIFIQUE

  • @c29fil Elle chante superbe mais je rien compris

  • Trop de sons aigus, incompréhensible , est ce qu'elle chante en français ???????????

    Il ne suffit pas d'être belle .

  • Holy crap this is awful. And I like Netrebko.

  • Who knew opera could be so damn SEXY!?!

  • Thank you for posting this. Like defygravityy below, I, too, just saw Romeo & Juliet at Vancouver Opera (tonight, final performance) and was surprised to find I did know at least one aria in the opera--this one. This is a really fine performance by Netrebko, missing only the en scene dramatization to make it quite perfect, I think. Thanks again.

  • Amazing voice!!! I found her just now n I fall in love with her voice!!

  • Hello! Just saw Roméo et Juliette tonight at the Vancouver Opera. I am really new to Opera but thoroughly enjoyed the performance and want to buy a recording off iTunes. Anyone have recommendations for the best recording? I know a lot of it is personal preference but there is a LOT (too much) to choose from. Thanks!

  • Interpretazione migliore di quella della Callas.

  • @fogazzaroful That is frankly idiotic. She wobbled on a couple high notes, but Callas' interpretation was rich and intelligent. Netrebko doesn't have the chromatics, agility, or breath control for an aria even as simple as this.

  • Es maravillosa.

  • Wow, WAY too many notes not intonated right. Awful.

  • I just saw this opera last night at the Chaeau La Hulpe in Brussels and it was fantastic!

  • YES

  • she's not using a mic right? 

  • @wendy321 No, as in any opera (Katherine Jenkins is not opera). Her voice is trained to dominate the power of the orchestra by itself, without any amplification. Microphones are only used for recording and broadcasting and not amplification.

  • Canta muito bem!!!!

  • Love it! Uplifting to the soul to hear such beauty!

  • Bravo!!!!!!!!

  • apsoloutley amazing :) i can not begin to imagin how much practice went into that one song

  • wooooow!!! ke hermosa voz creo ke me enamore n.n jejejejeje !!!! see anna es bella y tiene una voz unica hee incoparable

  • Awesome!

    

  • genia!!! hermoso!!!! excelente!!!! perfecto!!!! clap clap clap clap

  • WOW! Brava!!!! 

  • I like the dark earthiness of the voice which blends with her sutry beauty.

  • Soprano bien surfaite en vérité! diction pâteuse, reprises de souffle scabreuses, vocalisation tout à fait indigne.... Une plastique n'induit pas de fait une artiste!!!

  • NEW MUSIC GROUP CAN DIN SKY

  • she is beautiful and in notes she holds top over Maria Callas, and Diana Damrau with this exact performance - thank you. wonderful!

  • It`s interesting listening to this while looking at the sheet music. This is in my top 5 for favorite Opera Arias... I love French Opera, I love the composers, the language, everything. It`s absolutely wonderful.

  • Inascoltabile!!!!!!!!!!

  • oh la la

    this is heaven for my ears.

  • incredible, i love your voice and your work!

  • This hair is so pretty on her *-*

  • Pero a quién puede no gustarle??? Todos tenemos distintas preferencias, pero es imposible negar que ella es increíble y canta maravillosamente esta aria!

    Verdaderamente hermoso!!

  • Exelente, vox hermosa y técnica impecable, sin duda única

  • OMG!!! She is beautiful, her voice is beautiful, she is... perfect. Real Russian lady. :) :D <3

  • @pa0094 She is beautiful... and russian. Voice is other matter

  • Her voice is so pure!

  • she 's got a good voice. but she's not juliette!

  • @Serinia4melodic What's wrong with her coloraturas?  Sounds great to me.

  • Her French is excellent. So is her voice.

  • How anyone can find anything at all wrong with Anna is beyond me. I have just listened to 5 different versions of this aria from past and present singers, all absolutely fantastic in every way but Anna still has that something extra, maybe it is just the sheer beauty of her,for me she is absolutely perfect in every way. I love to read other peoples comments on you tube but if you just wish to be downright rude and offensive please go somewhere else.

  • BOSKA!!!

  • I believe that this is one of THE best concert of her.

  • best I have heard yet :)

  • To the haters::::::: Just think of it this way.....

    At least she is making more money then you haters.... and all of us.. GESUS...

    And ability to make fame is awesome in her case.. From what I see , she's very talented. She's amazing..

    And if you have a problem with her pitch not hitting correctly.. why don't you try it.. Post a video of your singing and we will be the judge of it!!=))

    **Поздравляю .. Я с нетерпением ожидаю услышать больше музыки и великих талантов, мисс Анна!(((;

  • I can't believe all the hateful comments on here.. so disrespectful. I understand that everyone has their own opinion and some may not like anna netrebko simply because of taste, but please the language and demeaning way of these comments is sickening.. If you don't like it, just listen to someone else..? I'm shocked by so much hate.. It saddens me!! In my opinion Anna Netrebko is marvelous, I love listening to her, so refreshing!!! I want to sing along with her while listening haha!

    xx

  • @stelleking

    agreed... Isn't she amazing?!?!

  • @sewmama Yes!!! I think that a lot of people wish to be on that stage and look the way she does - you know we all wish we could sing like that! simple as that..It seems like nothing is good enough for the opera lovers on youtube.. always trying to find flaws in all the great names of today - sumi jo, anna netrebko, natalie dessay, diane damrau.. But I love all of them! People are so negative nowadays.. They need to listen more instead of talking haha!

  • @stelleking amen to that!!

    I sing myself, and I always wonder "why don't they go on stage and perform for 3 hrs, singing high notes in front of a huge audience?!"...then we can talk haha

  • @stelleking Hear Hear

  • ...merci.

  • comments and opinions aside, she's still better than me and she gets gigs.

  • Awesome, awesome performance for me, not versed in opera. Who cares if she is not perfect, she has the soul and makes people love opera what more do you want? Go bust, connoisseurs (below).

    Elle est belle, et elle a du "duende" . Allez, encore, encore, enchante-moi, je n'ai qu'une vie

  • Awesome for someone not versed in opera. Who cares if she is not perfect, she has the soul and makes people love opera what more do you want? Go bust, connoisseurs.

    Elle est belle, et elle a du "duende" . Allez, encore, encore, enchante-moi, je n'ai qu'une vie

  • the diva

  • beautifull

  • I like opera singing, but I don't like this one. It neither sounds nor looks effortless.

  • @poniewczasie it isn't bad but I prefer Diana Damrau

  • This is pretty enjoyable. I like the she performs it without that hooty back of the throat crap. .. you know, that way people sing when they're making fun of classical music or super old school out of control, old lady vibrato thing. This is cool.

  • a comparer avec la callas (ça se vaut)

  • @starwars1marc et aussi avec angela gheorghiu,mais il faut dire qu'elle est bien là.

  • a cxomparer avec la callas (ça se vaut)

  • So very beautiful, and such a lovely outfit!

  • good!! but if you watch the video from the link above (the one that says Maria Alejandres), you can listen to a singer who makes a better performance of this aria than Netrebko's

  • @nachtschatten93 I´ve listened to it, but I don´t think that Maria Alejandres´ performance  has a better performance at all... I don´t like the way she "attacks" the notes , Netrebko does it so much better than Maria Alejandres ! Judging by the two videos Netrebko, has a much,much better technique!

  • @wildberryfruit well, it´s ok, I am a big fan of netrebko but when I listened to Alejandres I liked her better because in my case I don´t like the way Netrebko sings the high notes, it´s kind of dificult for her because her vibrato is not natural at the beggining of her notes, it takes her a while til she can start making the vibrato, and aljandres notes ar more natural and I like the color of her voice, and her last note IT´S JUST GREAT

  • evita accuratamente OGNI ornamento riportato nello spartito e inoltre nella cadenza finale non raggiunge il RE naturale: in altri termini, cambia lavoro che è meglio .. per noi!

    she accurately avoids ANY ornament required by the orginal music writing; moreover, in the final cadenza she fails to reach the B natural: in other words: she should change job!!

  • Very smooth, lovely tone. Maybe a nearly 14 yr old Juliette would have a lighter and more dainty voice, who cares ? Cio-Cio San was supposed to be 15, in Butterfly, but usually sung by a spinto.

  • There are many things i like about her performance here. i just think her voice is a bit too heavy for this kind of rep... this needs to be in the hands of a nice lyric or soubrette not someone bordering on spinto

  • @Babs22h I totally agree. As somebody else had said, it just doesn't look effortless. It's not to say she doesn't have an amazing voice (who can hate, really?) it's just that this song requires a more flexible voice.

    Obviously, if you haven't heard, listen to Diana Damrau and you'll see how ambiguous Netrebko's coloratura is in this piece.

    Regardless, a great performance by a great, young, voice.

  • Anna,Your performance is good.Keep it up.

  • My Favorite opera.. ! And Anna make it even better.

    Anna your amazing, Charming, Beutifull and Pretty.. ! Short told.. Your the best.. !

    Brava.. !

  • Her coloratura's still pretty iffy, but her beautiful tone just shines here. Very pretty.

  • She´s the best !

  • try searching for Mady Mesple, her version is pure perfection :)

  • she's ok but she is NOT following the music exactly the way it was written.

  • @boyinlalaland Whacker!

  • very nice!talant!and super voice!!viktor-conductor.

  • This is a little scream-y for my taste. I don't think her voice type fits this style. I prefer a more coloratura-y voice. BUT her acting is spot on!! She is the best singing actress of today without a doubt and her musicality is phenomenal as well.

  • magnifique.bravo anna

  • amazing....

  • отлично 10+

  • Anna Netrebko to: super super super star naszych czasów

    bajeczny czysty i ciepły głos

    bajeczna uroda

    bajeczna gra, ruch, gest, mimika

    przy ty wszystkim normalna fajna dziewczyna

    Najlepsza śpiewaczka naszych czasów

    To dar niebios

  • Not her best she has done this piece much justice =)

  • Bravo Anna!!!!

  • Anna Netrebko es una de las mas maravillosas sopranos de nuestros tiempos. Es una delicia escuchar tan bella voz!!!

    En cuanto al sujeto llamado Lui666able no pierdan su tiempo contestandole, es un pobre individuo que desquita la ira y frustración por la mala fortuna de su propia vida, que ataca todo lo que se le pone enfrente, odia a todos y a todo. Vive de lo que le da el gobierno de USA y vive a sus 30 años en casa de sus padres, entre otras cosas...

  • Only because she sucked 5000 cocks this whore dares to sing on the stage!!!!

    She is flat,shouts the high notes and has no idea what she is saying in French....

  • @Liu666able

    You have small part. Is difficulty for you. The small piece is brain.

  • @Eigenvalue100 You have no idea in what language you are writing

    If I have an small part you have no part at all you miserable piece of shit uneducated bastard.

  • @Liu666able

    From content of small brain. Language of drain from you. Need bad words

    for crutch. Emotion cripple. Try education, help to stand tall.

  • @Eigenvalue100 Again and again:have someone write for you in english:everything you just write(or at least tried to)has no sense....you are stupid,ignorant and also an asshole.

  • @Liu666able There is no place on this forum for foul language!

    You can be polite - all you have to say is:

    " Why don't you go and fornicate in another place?",

    Now why don't YOU go and perform 'an acrobatic act of sexual self-gratification?'

    There, doesn't that sound better?

  • @cullivoebhoy Who says so? you?who the fuck are you to set the rules?

    I prefer foul language with stupid people like that retarded Eigenvalue100.

    As to the way you describe sex or masturbation....that is a faggot's way of talking:men don't talk like that!

  • She really missed the beginning. If she's a trained opera singer, then she should have clearly gotten that. I performed that song when I was 15 and it didn't take that much to get the beginning "Ah" right. She's too flat on some parts, and she's too sharp on some parts. The only song I've ever heard her sing well is "O Mio Babbino Caro". This was a missed mark for me.

  • Check from 2:48, she misses so many notes.. Her voice is too dark/heavy for this aria. I still like the energy though!

  • ANNA NETREBKO DOES NOT QUIT HIT THE MARK FOR ME SHE SOUNDS GOOD BUT THERE I AM COMPARING AGAIN ...CALLAS ....IS THE QUEEN HERE...

  • That's totally out of tune.

    C'est complètement faux. C'est triste qu'une chanteuse avec une si mauvaise oreille fasse une carrière aussi grande... Même si la voix est très belle.

  • @Rig0letto C'est vrai... de plus elle chante toujours "forte" et elle n'est presque jamais en tone. Les aigues sont terribles

  • Comment removed

  • Sie sollte nicht bei fast jedem Ton atmen, aber ok.

  • I believe Callas would be pleased with this one.

  • She really does have one of the best top C's out there.

  • One of the best performances of this I've ever heard!

  • too bad there is no high D in this aria. It's all Cs that are held out.

  • @carebear120387 there is a D written in - it's part of the run near the end, and she doesn't quite get up there.

  • I love her....and she holds the high D so much...awesome

  • She actually sung this good.. not the best, this aria is all about coloraturas, and if u listen Joan Sutherland version..you will see/hear the vast difference.

  • This woman has made me love THE OPERA

  • @DoctorV9000 really? how much opera have u watched?

  • The point is that if she was a large woman she wouldn't be a star. The voice isn't enough.

  • @FoggyRoad81 :I hope she doesnt go along with the its not over until the fat lady sings concept! It would be a real loss if she put on a lot of weight. She is a very beautiful and gifted woman.

  • @FoggyRoad81 not that it matters but she is pretty chubby now you know? and still a star :D

  • @Maggielicious21 :she has put on a little weight, I ve seen that!Guess that happens after childbirth.These last weeks of comments have been a bit negative from some and granted there are some technical imperfections,But let me tell you ladies, from a male perspective, this is..50 percent of the audience would forgive her,she is so beautiful(call me shallow).As an aussie male, watching Dame Joan-well that it is scary Watching Anna? well all i can say is her eyes are a bit too close together,jk

  • @SuperJohnnykay hahahaha XD i like her eyes, i don't care about her weight, i was just trying to point out that she doesn't need to look like a supermodel (or the way she looked before the baby) to be a star and still be atractive to the audience. . . i guess i did it wrong =/

  • @Maggielicious21 :Maggie,you and I are fans of Anna,but read some of the comments from others like the one in the last day,from this guy, below.Look at 3:47 where Anna takes a pause and a breathe and then ask whether this girl has given 100 percent to her performance! shes great,.!! A funny world it is for a soprano!Shes not Callas, she hit a bum note etc. Im glad you liked that one about the eyes haha its what bitchy often older women say about a pretty girl when they cant find any faults.

  • BRILLIANT . what a voice !!! 

  • Wow. Five stars.

  • como le cuestan las escalas, personalmente me gusta más diana damrau. Esta parece un macho jeje

  • Well she is beautiful.

  • Wow, she's as fabulous as she is talented!!!!!!!

    Beautiful Performance!!!!!!

  • più bella che brava....

  • tone to deep, not good

  • @Royalorgans There are different ways for the singers to interpret their songs.

  • oh my god !!!! incredible

  • @Arminatorus l'incredibile é che abbiano pagato il biglietto!!!

  • She has a great voice... but she didn't sing this aria very well. She was pitchy, and the coloratura was messy.

  • @Rachmoose I agree, her tone is too dark, the fraseggio is confused and completly without appoggio!

  • ... she is INCREDIBLE! :-)

  • anna I hate U DX

  • Mañana es el cumple de mi baby y a el y a mi heramno padre y maestro suyo tambien. Te amo Asapth gracias por haber nacido y luchado por vivir. Recuerdo hace dos años de aqui para alla en los hospitales. Para ti mi Asapth.

  • Beautiful voice ... but GIRL... LEARN that damn cadenza at the beginning.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm suprised Annas French is better than her English or German ;)

    Her profounding voice, her dark timbre, her way to sing and (of course) her appearance make her to best opera singer in the present.

  • É inegável a superioridade vocal da Anna Netrebko na interpretação dessa maravilhosa peça musical.Na minha opnião essa é a interpretação definitiva de Jeux veux Vivre.Nota-se no final que o maestro posiciona a batuta para reger os acordes finais e aguarda a extensão da voz da Anna que é surpreendentemente longo.Desde o início nota-se também a emoção da Anna na expressão corporal,que aliás,é algo que ela faz muito bem.Anna é uma bela mulher que através do seu canto esbanja beleza e feminilidade.

  • Why some people say she is not for coloratura?? I just have no idea of coloratura technique XD

  • ♥it

  • very cool conducter!!!!!

  • She is absolutley stunning! I am so impressed! I would love to see her live!

  • haha get this, my eyeglasses shook at 0:09

  • @yoxles LOL that's cool!!!

  • My windows got smashed.

  • @95Jester lol

  • @95Jester It's my wine glass that smashed.

  • @95Jester XDXDXDhahaha

  • @95Jester - just goes to show that the Human Voice is the greatest 'invention' ever. Anna has a magnificent voice, and has brought so much joy to everyone! I am in the widow repair and replacement business - and Anna a made me a miliionaire since this performance.

    I will Now retire and perhaps arrange meet her in the London Savoy Hotel - we would reserve the 'Royal Suite' which is only £10,000. per night

    Only in my dreams you say?

    Well, if you don't have a dream, how can it come true?

  • @95Jester absolute beautifull such an perfection .. sigh:)

  • @95Jester that was good:DDD

  • Não me canso de ver e ouvir...

  • @kgarmaker123 - nice tone until the higher notes - and her coloratura is average - Though it's a good performance for someone who's not a lyric...

  • Cara, na boa, ela é maravilhosa!

  • Я потрясен. Спасибо, Анна, что ты есть. Merci pour ta clarté.

  • *GAG*

  • good great song, one of the most vocally gifted women on earth.

  • fantastica, Netrebko una diva solo superada a dia de hoy por la Gheorghiu, solo mi opinion.

  • Anna est la meilleure chanteuse d'opéra que j'ai connu jusqu'à présent!! J'ADORE SA VOIX!!!

  • Te amo Anna Netrebko!!!

  • I like her tone but her breathing gets annoying.

  • She's a wonderful Juliette.This aria suits her very well.Brava

  • This song is very, very different. I find it very creative. In general, french is very different.

  • Super singer. Just the sort of thing that an opera critic hates to see!
