Juan Diego Florez & Laura Giordano"Prendi per me sei libero"

[glukupikron]

They don't seem to have a great feeling and stage direction is awful. By the way she's very very good!

Thank you for all video Have you a video : Elisir Damore ( Caro elisir seil mio ( duet ) ) where Nemorino ( Juan DIego Florez ) ?

This is from 2005; they separated in 2002 or 2003 and by 2005 he was living with Trappe. Amusing to see them embrace and her hold onto him for a long time at the end. Have to wonder what they were thinking.

[MisterSoprano]

an average voice, nothing special

[ellerveira]

Well, he has gone from triumph to triumph while she has gone basically nowhere. Whoever broke off the relationship, it would have been a mis-match. You can hear here how she is not really up to his level. I still think he needed a woman willing to subordinate her career to his and she probably was not. Julia Trappe did so and gladly.

[flaze3]

her voice is great. I don't see any immediate flaws at all.

Not true, Laura went married one year ago with a lawyer. She's singing all around the world in a growing career. She's very beautiful as you can see, but also very sympathetic girl, always smiling and charming. Greetings

Wow! What great control over that diminuendo high-C at the end of the cabaletta! That extra minute of applause was well-deserved.

[moafisepi]

i dont think that was her diminuendo-ing at the end, i think it was the sound quality of the video. youll notice it happens again during the applause.

[KatherineXIX]

Oops...could have fooled me! She's still very talented - probably the best "Prendi" I've heard.

[CAD1eez]

Beautiful peole singing Belcanto, fantastic!!! I wish I had the DVD, my favourite opera, humour & singing all splendid.

[quientepregunto]

she's quite beautiful. where's she from??

[ellerveira]

None of our business, but still...he said, as I recall, that Palacio got them together (before that JDF had groupies around him sometimes) and they lived together for a while. Then next thing you know he has met Julia Trapp and now is married to her. My suspicion (no more) is that Laura was not willing to give up her career to follow him around and Julia was.

[ultracam]

He has a lot of phrases...what happened?

[JuanDiegooooo]

By the way, anybody knows if the two are back together !? (you'll say that's none of my business but never mind...)

[AlisonDee]

they were together (lucky lucky girl)? hehe shes currently doing Don Pasquale here in Malta with Maestro Muti. Her voice is gorgeous i have to say (and so is she hehe).. damn!! she went out with Juan Diego!! *jealous* lol

[annea1b]

Wonderful singing but not a lot of chemistry between these two. There's so much energy and buoyancy in the music and the staging doesn't do anything for it.
