This video is a wonderful gift for opera-lovers

Every singer in a Bellini opera is a world-class soloist.

This is, I think, Swenson's finest role. She just sings it SO well...the trills, the acuti, the pearly coloratura, it's ALL there. Lovely.

Ruth Ann Swenson does it well in this production. She uses some refreshing new coloratura in her (first) aria. Still she keeps that nice girlish sound and solid metallic topnote's.

Stuart Neill rocks!!!

[guidobonatti]

Nella musica non c'è patriottismo becero, è una lingua universale e quando uno è bravo supera ogni confine e prevenzione.

Come Obama...finora...

Shame there weren't any excerpts from the Credeasi misera duet though. Still, wonderful video.

Yay! At last the I Puritani I've been waiting for, it certainly didn't disappoint. Well done!

Another gem! What amazes me is that you always have something exceptional to propose. Never routine interpretations. Bravissimo!!!

[micioamilano]

I'm enjoying them too..think they are great! And you always chose the best casts huh! Gr8 Job! Thanks!

[47viviane]

yes I enjoy the videos too it's great coloraturafan is so creative for the sake of all of us BUT I wouldn't go that far to say these are the best casts - no way! May I guess she's using this old footages to avoid copyright problems? All the same - great idea!!!

[leoperarm]

I LOOOOVVEEE this thing!!! You're so creative!

[coloraturafan]
