Dragana Jugovic the drunk Carmen

[annmoore797]

Something is rotten in the state of Serbia

[ilovezuerich]

omg!!!!!!!!! what is this

[duettists]

The tenor is a true professional not to collapse with laughter or despair at his partner's performance. It just shows that it's best not to drink or take any medication before you sing.

[mikica563]

Ne razumem zasto je nisu sprecili da izadje na binu, ovo je strasno za nju, cisti uzas!

[CartoonOperatics93]

HAHAHA! This is very funny! XD

[kotetsu131]

The only way this could be more hilarious would be if she started taking her dress off in the middle of it....she seems about ready :D

[tenore23]

I can just imagine her thoughts at the end of the duet: "I rocked this shit!"

[saska987]

@tenore23 Her thoughts:"F**k yeah". Or maybe: "Close enough" :)

[gavrilo88]

Dragana Jugovic del Konjako!

[AriaDivina]

Does she have a personal web site? Does anyone know what it is? I've tried looking for one and can't find any (and I know most singers have a web site or two). If someone knows, PLEASE send me a note with the address. THANK YOU!

[chicagoC9]

she is not drunk.. she is out of it on drugs.... this is just embarressing!

[Miauriceful]

Ma perché l'hanno fatta cantare in quelle condizioni? Perché nessuno è intervenuto?

Sono dei pazzi e dei dilettanti, bisogna sempre rispettare l'artista e il suo pubblico.

[NYCBG]

HOLY SHIT! Jebote, da li je ova normalna?!?!?!

[Nullifidian]

2:29 - Here she starts sounding like Barry Humphries in his Dame Edna role.

[r22k10]

The tenor deserves a medal of honour. Excellent singing and unbelievable composure!

[RonaldBarone]

_Hi Ppl

_Hello

_My name is Carmen and I am also an alcoholic

_HELLO CARMEN!!!!!!!!!

[RonaldBarone]

every time I have a bad day... I come here and everything goes away lol

[nilsgassi]

Mir blutet das Herz vor so viel Unprofessionalität!

Povero Bizet!!

[DMBKristen41]

This is YouTube gold :-)

[taoche]

dios mio!

[Rochey93]

Who is the sober dude in this detracting from Dragana's performance? Show off.

[Losev25]

@Rochey93 This is a Russian tenor Alexey Steblyanko (or Aleksej Stebljanko, the name can be seen at 1:28, though not clear enough).

[GERMANYFrankie]

the best video in youtube

[Marmalade000000]

Is this why Dragana Jugovic became famous??? She's funny as heck! I fell out of my chair

[sicuro75]

The tenor should have literally slapped her face..

[picoides1]

Now we know what killed Bizet

[CalifaJohn]

If anything, you should leave this up because of the amazing performance of the tenor. Who was that btw? There is also a certain amount of amusement watching the "drunk" Carmen.

[lyrictenore]

I liveeeeee for this vid. omg lol

[Ceighty76]

How unfortunate...but I did get a chuckle out of this. I am impressed the the Tenor was able to hold his own so well!! And hey...she did get all of her entrances :P

[greggesimmons]

I'm in the men's chorus room at the Met Opera, we've just viewed it. I've never seen so many of them standing around and laughing at how truly awful she is.

[007MASTERCOLLECTOR]

@greggesimmons :)) bt you know that she is a very good singer, here she is in a terrible situation, (bad administration of medicines and just a glass of wine) result... THE DRUNK CARMEN! voila! bt she is not really drunk here my friend, is terribly funny, bt I am thinking to delete the video .. is to bad for her, no? the next week I will upload a full masterclass of Alfredo Kraus.. or better Pavarotti and Freni? or Arturo Mellocchi teaching Limarilli? I have the full versions :) just ask

[IshyIMB017]

@007MASTERCOLLECTOR NO!, please don't delete the video, in my singing class at college this video served my teacher as an example of how we should not abuse with medicines or alcohol before a show, appart from the fact of that it was very funny.

[LT962010]

@007MASTERCOLLECTOR, IF YOU ARE GOING TO DELETE IT, JUST DO IT. PLEASE DELETE IT, THAT VERY OLD, POOR QUALITY RECORDING. DRAGANA JUGOVIC DEL MONACO IS ARTIST TO MERIT PRAISE, NOT RIDICULE. REGARDS FROM BELGRADE

[chazzer56]

I don't know if this is even real but if it is then the orchestra, her singing partner and the audience are all guilty of participating in this waste of time. Must the show go on?

[TachieBillano]

OMG! What the hell was coming out of her mouth? It sounded like, "Huhhhhhhhh?"

[OddReality94]

this is not funny at all. its sad. its tragic. -.-

[19shea85]

@OddReality94 No, it's pretty hilarious.

[cinicontento]

Hahahahahaha !!!!

She is totally drunk!!!

[bunkerpoopie]

wow the musical nuance through each phrase, the drama, the emotion, the technical strategy, intelegent singing on kristal meth is a huge accomplishment and if I may say so an impressive pallet of colours giving each sostenuto phrase an impressive biography which touches me to the core, simply , what an artist, Tenor? what tenor he was up against the wall on this stage , had no chance, did his best but lost honourably... Brava brava brava, will now go and try the same shit it must be a rush:))))

[JohnInMableton]

She's not drunk, she's just overdoing the drama i order to compensate for her lack of legato and clear notes. The tenor's forcing his voice through the high notes and producing rough notes.

Please listen to Placido Domingo and Julia Migenez and you'll see what Carmen and Don Jose should sound like.

[Geenii100]

@JohnInMableton Come on man, she`s totally wasted!

[Brideshead09]

@JohnInMableton Umm. Trust me. She's pissed.

[arpeggio1358]

@JohnInMableton But please don't think Ruggero Raimondi (in the same film with Domingo and Migenez) is a good Escamillo. Watch Samuel Ramey in this role. He sings and acts the role as a rock star, which is exactly the way Escamillo sould come across.

[VivaRenata]

Sorry, I can't even get through this! Even the comments on this video are hilarious!

[TheSbanham]

PHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!! wow ... well she ruined her career now didnt she!

[StoneHerne]

BRAVISSIMO, ALEXEI STEBLIANKO!!!

[paolodicorno]

Where the hell was her manager? And what was the stage manager doing - was he asleep??? No-one should have put her on. All kudos to the tenor for getting through it - a true pro. And the orchestra for not cracking it completely. I've been on stage with some out of it performers myself but this takes the buttered confection!

[shampinjon50]

Genijalno VRH SUBLIMIRAJUCE PREKRASNO PREKRASNO PREKRASNO TO JE

[sarabehr]

this is just really painful!

[madoulamadou]

@lukaszds

but I think it was in a concert....not the total opera !!!

[shirleysvoice]

@Why would anyone want to hear this . It's disgracefull. What a waist of time not to mention talent the tenor's of course!madoulamadou

[jezzenka]

@5:13 DAAAAAA ne t'aime plus!!!!!!!!!!!! хахахахахахахахахах !!!!!!

[blomstar]

@jezzenka puuuuaah hahahahahaha love it daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[mimiwantssome]

Cannot believe they let her go on - or that her partner agreed to finish it. Wait - didn't the audience walk out and ask for their money back? A disgrace to the arts.......

[daniel72389]

what ever happened to understudies?

[garbidz]

beautiful performance, pity the quality of the sound

thanks!

[blazingvirtuosity]

Gotta love her perfectly in-tune Ab (and gargling vibrato) at 7:05

[ksenijaradovicbg]

4:22!!!!a-haaaa!!hahahaahahah

[bodiloto]

Grande Steblianko,bellissima voce bravo!

Sono molto contento che questo bellissimo tenore canta ancora e di piu há una voce piu bella di tutti giovani Don Jose,bravo!

Dragana Jugovic?La capisco bene la grappa serba é buonissima,bella donna donna...un po'ubriaca e allora?Siamo nel 21 secolo dove la parola "rispetto" non há nessun senso.

[Afroditko]

ovo boli ... ne znam da li da placem ili da se smejem :/

[BogdanOrtodox]

ZNAČI, TRAGEDIJA! SRAMOTA ZA SRPSKU OPERU! OVO MOŽE IZAZVATI SAMO NAPAD SMEHA A NE DIVLJENJE!

[polakilehedova]

Pa sta je ovo koji kurac??

[PeraTrta]

One of her memorable performances! Long live Primadonna Assoluta of Belgrade Opera!

[ykaiilah]

Her name is pronounced, "Drankona"

[jenhorne]

6:30 to 6:35 is my FAVORITE bahahahah

[melisandedebussy]

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THIS IS THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF CARMEN JAJAJAJAJAJ

[renatimbr20]

Gosh

[musclefan]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahah

[potitodos]

OMG How the allow this to go on!!!! Poor tenor I'm sure there was no encore!!!!

He saved Carmen after all!!!!!!!

[DMBKristen41]

is this a joke? is she really drunk?

[230596671]

Bravo!!!!!!!!!

[302MarkVII]

LOL! @ 3:19 the tenor is doing all he can to keep from laughing.

[savagelitlheart]

Oh no....

[nadopera90]

ma che aveva?!

[DottoreJojo]

Disastrous! But nice dress.

[johnny93bg]

hahahahaahhaha glupa kurvaaaaaaaaa

[smotusa]

[clover7561]

[meta4sbewithu]

Now we know why Jose shoots her at the end. Saving her a headache in the morning.

[crimsonrose]

@meta4sbewithu lmfao

[singingislife18]

[Danusha7800]

BRAVA!!! I don't sing that well drunk. BRAVA DRAGANA!

[johnny93bg]

@Danusha7800 mrsh bre u picku materinu brava, brava, kurac brava

[charmeueueur]

do you know who is the tenor? he has a pretty amazing voice.

[Kafkandinsky]

@charmeueueur it looks like Alexei Steblianko. If it is, yes, he has a good voice indeed.

[Milos9191]

@Kafkandinsky that's a serbian opera singer.

[napalmdreadmiramar]

juaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[billyguns2]

Bravi to the tenor, conductor and orchestra for giving us such a magnificent performance in the face of such shameful, drunken atrocity!

[chocolatecauldrons]

HOW did no one stop her from going onstage??!! The applause at the end is hilarious!

[viviencello]

who is the tenor? he sings quite dicently though...

[nostopsnopurgatory]

HAHAHAHA

[galayoona]

3.35 and 5.13 :DDD

[lfoisy580]

They all kept going, who knows how they managed. Horrible--poor thing. What a disaster!

[trilobit4]

No, alespon mel duvod ji na konci zabit

[JonPowersMusic]

I like her Max Schreck Nosferatu stance!

[ElPiconeroalCognac]

HA HA HA!

[biljka84]

koja budala, ja bih je izmlatila da sledeci put razmisli kada ce da popije pred nastup...!!!

[Snarkymom]

Oh no. It is painful to watch, and even more painful to hear. Who even let her out on stage? Poor thing.  (What was that noise at 3:35?)

[SiEtIn1]

the tenor is dying of embarrasment, he compulsively touches his mouth while "Drunkmen" sings, and cant even look at her lol

[turnipoverlord]

i love at 4:02 when she stumbles towards him and 4:30 - she's like "wow! your jacket is so smooth! how you doin that? doesn't that hurt? how you doin that?

[shmily575]

I don't know how he really didn't kill her at the end! LOL

[fabrizzzio48]

The Don Jose is pretty good. Who's he?

[ZERA982]

zasto boze? neprocenjivo!

[ulix1234]

I love her!!! :D

[backdraftt]

this is a new dimention in opera! She have done what noone had ever done before! It is to be bestseller))))

[LouisCyfier]

Hahahah.She so drunk.

[Jaydoggy531]

Gotta give him credit for doing his damnedest to save the show - you can tell he knows she's completely plastered.

[Faullici]

After Violetta left Alfredo.

She went back to her old life, drunk & intoxicated.

The old Germont came to see if she really broke up with his son.

Violetta ensured him that "entre nous, c'est fini"

The father then asked if she could be his mistress since she had broken up with the son.

She said NO coz "libre elle est nee, libre elle mourra".

The father was so humiliated and curesed "pour la dernier fois, demon, veut tu me suivre?"

She refused again, then... as u know :P

[freespiritQC]

I think you're all mixed up. This is Carmen, not Traviata!

[Faullici]

Sweetie... I think I mixed them up on purpose...: ) coz I am drunk too

[freespiritQC]

Ha ha ha ha!!!

Thanks for the sweetie, since I'm old enough to be your mom, I find it quite cute...

[marcysoprano]

This would not be half as funny if the tenor was not so absurdly amazing and completely together--he completely makes it for me, this will be a fave of mine for years to come.

[ulpijantrajan]

@marcysoprano can you inmagine that she is one of very exclusive opera singers...her full name is Dragana Jugovic del Monaco...(she was merried to Mario's son) but this is funny

[peque1204]

this it makes me laugh

[aggrorulz]

3:35 jebe kewu skroz! XaXa!!

[PsyclonReich]

this is just tooo brutal man,hehehehehe vivala la alcohol!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[raythespian]

She's quite funny. But the audience did not seem amused...or enthused. I don't get it.

[PBQLead]

If I had to sing with her like that, I'd kill her, too!

[lipatti60]

I love this woman !!!!!

[blaza62]

You are a bunch of idiots! Are you never been drunk? Only persone who never been drunk - can laugh about that. How can you know the reasons why someone must need to drink?

[665babe]

I saw her tonight in Carmen... she was AMAZING!!

[Huljic]

Agree they were all great!!!

[Huljic]

Tonight i will see her in Carmen!!!It will be interesting!!

[roweman2]

is this real?!?!

like she was actually acting like that?!

[ykaiilah]

LMAO, I still can't stop laughing.

[nicolashrv]

I really wonder how this guy didnt punched her in the face and left stage!......Its humilliating even being with her in the same stage.............she probably must have gave him oral sex or something.....cant explain how he standed at this, withouth cracking in laughs!!

[ykaiilah]

Its like a stroke!!

[JulcyRoddy]

Parece q ela vai cair a qualquer momento!

[AndAllThatOpera]

Besides her a great voice-Steblianko(Ukranian-teno­r), audience was very polite

[russianchubby]

8:57 she greedly holds out a hand for another glass

[SongofEve]

Actually, strike that, the tenor would have had the knife, but she might have grabbed it in that state.

[SongofEve]

'Tout est finis...' Too right. At least it wasn't an actual staging of the opera, or she would have had a knife in her hand.

[texasinger2]

How embarassed she must be!! Did she not realize that was going to happen? Honestly, even if she sings well (I have never heard her sing previously), that seems very irresponsible to me.

[OperaQueen1990]

someone should see how she`s acting before she step on the stage!...She is Poor...But real lady should never do thing like this! She had a hard private life but professional one must not take like this! I sing opera too....and i feel shame even seeing this.

[rumpwrestler]

Maybe she was on drugs!

[mrsozuk]

I can't believe she can still stand up!!

[nelsonjo79]

Is that the same mezzo that goes by Dragana Del Manaco?

[mejerchold]

yes

[7777igor]

@nelsonjo79 Yes

[ElisabettaVS]

good that the audienc doesn't shout her down... poor woman

[Altivelzian]

Oh my God! I haven't laughed so much in years! I feel so sorry for them both! By the way, does anyone have a tape of the german industrialist attempting Dichterliebe?

[alexgomez2]

I think someone didn't like Dragana enough to save her from this televised disaster. Some allowed her to go on stage on national television out of hate. "Friends don't let friends 'drink' and drive." I feel pity for her because I've heard other videos and she's great, but this is a total mess.

[MultiArctic]

Poor Dragana! Her husband has intoxicated her!

[Griwhoolda]

Who is the tenor? Well sung, and kudos to him!

[fcmrf]

Alexei Steblianko from Mariinsky theater (Syt. Petersburg, Russia)

[Griwhoolda]

Thank you!

[Nater389]

I can't believe that someone would even do this. I can't believe this is real.

[raffaelgarde]

Drunk Carmen :)

Now I see what means "XXI century" :)))))

cant stop laughing,,,,, OMG

hahahahahahaaaaaa

[esox85]

What shit?!?!

[alexgomez2]

I´m impressed to see how profesional this tenor was to continue and give the best of his singing.

[Huljic]

That is really impressive!!!

[operabitch77]

this ho is a mess!! reminds me of some of the mezzo's i've dated!

[fredg77]

Priceless!!

[cornucopia2]

Ma questa donna è un mito!

[Scherzobanane]

Callas would have been jealous... :-)

[Verry0bored0help]

aahahahahahahaahahahahaha

IJAO

[CrazieBeeAtUSC]

holy crap! what the heck?!

[nikapika1981]

ovaj siroti ne može vjerovat

[philatelist26]

Good tenor though.

[dibeling]

I love how at :47 the tenor is like, "Oh crap..."

[RuskiMafijas]

drugs are bad, mkay?

[operainterest]

Her name is Jugovic-del Monaco....is she somehow related to Mario del Monaco ?

[operamusicfan]

Daughter in law.

[operainterest]

I see. Thank you. ;-)

[ElPiconeroalCognac]

LOL. Oh, for shame!

[Loripr]

WTF ?

[SnezanaCkojic]

Uvek se ovom vracam, da se oraspolozim :)))

[HoHeave]

I'm favoriting this, this is GOLD. One of the funniest things I've ever seen, though I do think for the full effect it helps to know the Carmen finale and/or speak French.

[kikiblk]

a true diva

[carlo331]

Ubriaca fradicia!!!!!! che numero....e il pubblico coglione applaude.

[GiuseppeSaronno]

non è coglioneria....è la volontà di non sparare sulla croce rossa....fischiarla sarebbe stato proprio sparare sulla croce rossa... (per chi non lo sa è un modo di dire :-)

[carlo331]

ma come, uno va al concerto, gli propinano una cantante ubriaca e deve pure applaudire? secondo me la contestazione era dovuta, non solo per lei - priva della minima professionalità - ma anche per gli organizzatori che hanno permesso una simile pagliacciata.

[GiuseppeSaronno]

In effetti, da questo punto di vista non posso darle torto
