The big classic labels have got bizarre marketing ideas sometimes but this is really an unintentionally embarrassing one. Why the need to dress up a first class soprano like Gheorghiu as the legend Callas? She looks like a clown in a karaoke-show. It´s more interesting to watch an artist with a new repertory instead of dressing her like a bad copy and let her singing the same arias once again of different recitals from earlier times. It´s really shame.
Throw this she closed the mouth shut to many evil people here in NYC! Thanks to ROH for asking Abbey Road Studios to fetch this CD-DVD. That's why Angela do whatever the British people at ROH want it because they recognize in her as the best sopranos nowadays. BRAVO!
Is this an SNL sketch? Like... seriously, this has to be a joke? It's pretty much a parody of what people think an opera singer should look like / act / do.
Maria Callas would have laughed at these arm gestures, getups, wistful shots from a distance with mirrors and fogged lenses...
None of this actually serves to further any art or interpretation of music. It's frill and frippery.
She needs to listen to the Callas masterclasses to get an idea of how she fealt re: such cheap tricks on stage.
@mregecko Do you ever sang anything? Only a person who never sang doesn't know that the gestures of the arms help tuning and the music flowing.
Only those who are deaf or malicious does not recognize the exceptional singer Angela is. Callas is dead, I was never particularly fan of her voice but in her time she as the best as now, in my opinion, the best is Angela.
