R. Fleming & R. Villazon "Un di, felice!" La Traviata

[evilsushix]

"Ah, si! Da un anno!"

LOVE the way he just blurts that out, like a lovesick boy.

[babs22hh]

villazon is so emotive love his voice!

[Alidoro]

¡Pero esto NO se canta así!

[operagirl81]

WOW. lol. That's all I have to say. WOW.

[betylu18]

Excelentes ambos!!....y que buenos actores son tambien...le imprimen mucha sensualidad especialmente en la parte del beso....

Rolando Villazón siempre se dá al 100% en cada escena...además es un hombre muy apasionado cuando debe serlo....

[partiallyyours]

This is like foreplay! They're so convincing, I was thinking, "Keep clapping! They're going to take each other's clothes off!"

[TheCatcherkid]

they both piss me off............villazon sounds out of place on this one.........and flemming voice.......i just can't even talk about it...it makes me too angry

[kgmcal315]

@TheCatcherkid if it makes you mad, then don't watch it. problem solved.

[pointemeout]

hmmmm.

works for me.

that was absolutely beautiful.

[ezev8logos]

Que bien que la pasa Rolando

jaja

[anzolettilino]

@ezev8logos sì!

[reinadegrillos]

Qué maravilloso dúo!

Ambos dando lo mejor de sí mismos y en perfecta armonía y comunión!

Qué intensos sentimientos despierta una ópera bien hecha, caramba!

[MastersoftheOpera]

Not into Fleming's Violetta. She is not being Violetta, she is being Renee Fleming - turning phrases and making scoops and making it un-Verdi -ish. I do love the authentic 19th century look of this production. It's almost as great as the Zefferelli stage productions and his 1982 film.

[alebyron]

Really love them...they're just perfect...

[gretchenamspinnrade]

they really got into it!! :D

man, this is HOT!! :D

rolando and renee .. who would have thought? :DD

[chofydonna]

This reminds me Sarah Bernhardt. At the age of 66 she created the role of the 17 years old "SON" (masculine) of Napoleon, in Rostand's: L'aiglon at 54 created Joan of arc, in one part the inquisitor ask: How old are you? she impassible replied: nineteen! and every one at the audience believe it was nineteen! that's magic of incarnation in a role.

[alebyron]

Oh my God, they're absolutely perfect together!

[kussmanon]

Rolando sings so very beautiful, emotional and tender and he is a very attractive, smart and intelligent man !

[Aetion]

Renee is fantastic and very beautiful. I never like so much Villazon.

[24yotenor]

Ha! I thought they were about to start taking each others cloths off at the end.

[verorasa]

I LOOOOOOOOVE this video.... is just perfect! I love how she interpretes the sentiments she has with the agilities of her voice in min 4:15, and Villazon´s passion is unique!! is kind of weird but i think the chemistry here with her is bigger than with Netrebko ... and that kiss!!!!!

[Drelnis]

Is this released on DVD?

[colerfith]

Ahh Vilazón....

me encanta...

que rico beso jajajaja

hasta se me antojo jajajaja xDDD

simplemente perfección!!

[kgmcal315]

Who cares how old Renee Fleming is? She is perfect Violetta and shows the emotions way better than Anna Netrebko.

[spgtenor]

I usually don't care for Villazon, but the chemistry here is very good. Renee's voice sounds lighter and brighter in this duet, very well executed. And she still as cute as a doll at almost 50.

[operagirl53]

Verdi would have loved this performance!

[Orfeo68]

RENEE LOOVES her Mexican tenors...Vilazzzon, Vargas...

[evilsushix]

3:34- 4:17. So beautiful, both musically and theatrically.

[operafilia24]

son tan buenos cantantes como actores... esta escena es aún mas sexi y sensual que las escenas "de revolcón" que hace Rolando con la Netrebko.

¡cuidate Rolando para que nos sigas deleitando muchos años más!

[Babs22h]

go renee macking with villazon! haha

[phronie125]

OMG...............BEAUTIFUL

[Feuille1512]

Sublime, sexy, sexuel, chargé, profond.

Messieurs, prenez de la graine.

Merci. Superbe vidéo.

[mammylove1]

Bravo, best Traviata ever,.. Fleming and Villazon are perfect in this production.

Thanks for yuploading this. M. x

[jamesotek]

Wow!Wow!Wow!

[Klassizismus]

Wonderful rendition! One of the best I've heard!

[MagicalSongbird]

Oh Renee... you do this so amazingly well!

The acting here is so convincing and the voice is very strong and fluent. Quite a chemistry between the two also... wauw!

[LollirockStar7]

Awesome!!!

[liou97490]

GReat Acting, musicality and singing. You can't imagine how a lyrical duet is difficult to interprete and in each others face without spoiling your part!!! BRAVA

[xXxSocorroDovesxXx]

What a magnificent performance! The chemistry between them is amazing...

[TonyPSyr]

Oh paleeze Mary Louise! cut the age crap. I mean seriously! with the exception of Anna Netrebko show me a drop dead gorgeous cortisan type in her mid 20 somethings that can sing this music? Unfortunately these scores weren't exactly written for pretty young things! Recall Toti Delmonti singing what I consider the most touching Butterfly at age 74! if you have that much of a problem turn the picture off and jsut listen. it's phenominal!

[Mimameior]

I don't really care about their respective ages - it's brilliant singing and acting, very heartfelt and sensual. What more do you want?

[lady00010]

The quintessential courtisane, so sensual that it truly brings the whole coloratura to its brilliant reality of refusal and acceptance. Ex-tra-or-di-na-ry. The most credible Traviata I have ever witnessed

[portugalete]

Guau, she´s so sexy in that romantic costume... This proves that we (opera lovers) don't need those out of context productions, but good taste, good singing and good acting.

[musicman112886]

love renee

hate rolando

plus this is creepy cuz she's like old enough to be his mother lol cougar!

[rossmcl177]

I know what you mean but for me it just adds a kind of edge to the Alfredo/Violetta relationship. Its not in the script for her to be much older but, it's not exactly against the spirit of the story either. :)

[trekkie2006]

and, in my opinion, Renee doesn't look her age :) so I think it makes things more interesting, since she's gorgeous and he isn't bad looking either ;) it really pulls us into the Violetta/Alfredo relationship more, along with their amazing voices and acting!

[Youkali67]

Q¡¡¡ue besos!!! ¡¡¡Parecen totalmente reales!!!

[obcessivepink]

That's hot.

[latraviata1853]

I love how close they get - it really brings his text and her denial alive. Seeing this production was the first time I really noticed this duet as the theme of the first act, and this was the fourth time I'd seen Traviata.

[vickersman]

THAT WAS JUST WONDERFUL...and I agree the acting is realistic and the kissing INTENSE.lol The voices are great as well...god they hit the trifecta!

[gypsycafe]

She can't seem to get enough of his lips.

[au30an68]

Diese Scene ist besonders schön und wer könnte den Liebhaber besser singen und zärtlicher spielen als Rolando Villazon? Großartig!

[canzonettasullaria]

When was this performance? They are very good!

[pequitasazules]

*sigh* beautiful, simply beautiful. . .

[elisabeth1902]

Wie schön wäre es, diese Paarung einmal in der Wiener Staatsoper zu haben!!!! Vielen Dank für die Einspielung.

[Mimameior]

Very, very good. I know everyone talks about Villazon and Netrebko being a great pairing (they are!), but he and Fleming are sparkling together... This must have been great to watch live.

[quo33]

Thanks!! This is great!

[sexybcl21]

This is the sexiest "Un di" i have ever seen! Love it!!!

[Lohengrin]

Brilliant! and all the Glamour of the old Opera back on stage! Brava renee!

[girardje]

great singers bravo

[aleduffoo]

great!!!.. i love these guys!
