Has anyone else noticed Alagna's giant head?

[LordMgls]

@Loganberrymusic hahaha, I did. No official photos were taken because it was a last-minute replacement, so I had to improvise something with the pictures featuring Alvarez(?) xD

Bravo

Beautifully phrased legato with sensitive fresh tone. Love the voice! Thank you for sharing.

Roberto Alagna sucks.

He should not be famous.

A cat could sing more in tune than him.

Same with his ex-wife.

@cklung1975 OMG - he had 6 hours notice to sing this role - do you think there was one person in that audience who was not thrilled to hear him - have YOU ever HEARD him at the Met? His voice fills the hall... who cares about sharps and flats in performance, it happens to everyone, the importance is the passion, the energy, the soul of this singer...

[cklung1975]

My goodness! He flats at the starting! At the end he sharp at the last high note. To...sca sei tu! Did he know, now he is not singing well as before?

@LordMgis Thank you for recording this - I listened to it on the Met live stream and it was, indeed, thrilling!!

I don't very much like Alagna as Cavaradossi. Did George Gagnidze sing Scarpia?

[Alehjbol]

@AnryK2690 No! It was Falk Struckmann, as Scarpia. I was there!!! amazing performance!
