She forces it too much. And on some passages I find the sound unpleasant. Although it certainly is one of the most demanding pieces, I think it should sound more effortless and poised. Compare for example to Sumi Jo (my favorite), Roberta Peters or Natalie Dessay
Que vestido!!!! muy buena interpretación...pero lo que hace a una opera interesante es no solo la historia y la música si no también los sentimientos con que la transmitenen el escenario. Si le enseñaramos una opera con esta actuación a "x" persona que no sepa nada de Mozart te va a decir que le pacere un poco aburrido.
Do opera singers usually get to see costume ideas before signing their contracts? If I were here, the costume designer(s) would have needed bodyguards for putting me in such a freaking get-up after the fact of me signing a contract to sing the role. I'd have wound up in jail for homicide. LOL!
Her voice is sharp! perfect for the role, however her performance looks stiff, it takes a lot both on voice and acting skills to make a good queen of the night.
Her voice sounded "stretched" at the high notes. I think they're a lot of more accomplished sopranos who could handle this better. It's all on the youtube.
Why is it that there are so many productions of this opera where they use the weirdest costumes, ever?!? I just saw one in my home town of Modesto and I think they were going for the African princess look, but she ended up looking like a lion or something. It wasn't my favorite as far as sets or costumes. There was one I saw on youtube with Erika Miklosa wearing something that had two lights strategically placed on her chest....if you know what I mean. Bizarre!
You know? LOL! What about what they did to Diana Damrau AND Natalie Dessay in two different Salzburg productions and Erika Miklosa and Diana Damrau at the Met?
I would have been sitting in a jail cell after seeing the costumes I was contracted to wear for murdering the designers! LOL!
This was my first flute dvd, and at the time I wasn't so impressed. But after having seen the completely sh*t colin davis dvd I will appreciate this one more and more.
Mini Luciana Serra. The coloratura would be cleaner, especially the triplets, if the sound was as free as it is bright, which would take a more attention to the breath. Surprisingly good though. We'll see how long she lasts.
LOL! If I were performing in this opera (which thank God I can't because I'm not an opera singer (or a woman for that matter).) I would have killed the costume designer if I had seen this dress after signing a contract to perform...
I sure hope she got a chance to wear this dress Trick-or-Treating, because that is about all it is good for...and who can even pay attention to the voice with that balloon on her?

Is there a clause in Mozart's will that states every Queen costume has to be COMPLETELY HIDEOUS?
