Even in a dress rehearsal, she is GREAT! Wonderful voice and rendition of this aria! One of the best sopranos of our time. And she is a great actress, too!
Very very good. The power of Callas without the theatricals. I am ashamed that I first thought of Morticia in The Adams Family when I saw the gown. But now I throw cyberflowers. Bellisimo!
Beautiful! I think that your delicate singing matches this area very much. However, the meaning of your hands movements cannot understand from Japanese eyes.
Magnifique de maîtrise et d'intensité dramatique dans la voix et dans le jeu de scène : je connais bien le théâtre kabuki et je pense que cette mise en scène a le mérite de styliser l'esthétique japonaise. Hontoni omedeto gosaimasu !
Wonderfull but I can not hade that maestro wif in the final moments run don't let to much time for the soprano feeling! I keep that name a new star name Roxanna!
Dear Roxana God blesses you for your voice and talent! I am waiting to see your star appearance at Bucharest National Opera as Madama Butterfly in February 2008!!!
Bravissima Roxana!! I am astonished to discover so much TALENT and SENSIBILITY. With this beautiful interpretation you stand among two other sacred monsters - CAllas and Tebaldi. Any chances that we see you in Toronto in the near future?...
Her voice is just gorgeous, but I would slap the director and costume designer if I could. She is wonderful...hope I can do it even close to that well when I sing it in February.
What a GORGEOUS voice! But I must say, what in the world is the costume and direction? Why did she go down on her knees?
A virtual slap to the director. I hate when they have to put their "stamp" on a classic production. I will do this in February and I will be wearing a normal kimono...that strapless thing is preposterous! Poor girl...but my God, what a voice!
une de mes interprètes préférée, beaucoup d'intensité, de maîtrise technique et de cœur.
La mise en scène, d'après ce que j'en devine, me semble intéressante, plus originale surtout que la sempiternelle imitation du théâtre kabuki. existe-t-il un dvd de cette représentation ?
Soprano Roxana Briban is definitely one of the best Buttefly in the world, her voice of incredible beauty is powerful and very sensitive; she reveals perfectly all the tremendous emotions of Cio-Cio San. Bravo!!!
No sólo es una voz sincera, humana, cultivada y fresca. Extraordinaria actríz. Presencia flotante y sonido flotante. La puesta en escena, limpia y permite apreciar el talento de esta Soprano. Ritualística ella es. Aquí tenemos la nueva gran generación de cantantes serios de la Opera actual.
Pefectamente de acuerdo contigo, ella es una actriz fuera de serie y una cantante extraordinaria, internada en el personaje con alma y cuerpo, sencillamente genial.
oh my god you cannot!!! see the mise en scene because it s impossible to perceive it from this clip... it suggests the particular use of space in japan and yes good powerfull voice and its a dress dress! dress rehersal
At the 8e of april I was in Amsterdam and I have seen and heard this magnificient voice and I was thouched, great preformance by a great soprano. If you can see here, do not hesitate butt simply go, she is great.
Roxana Briban is just an absolute soprano and her Butterfly interpretation is simply perfect and makes me cry!!! Thank you for your art!!! BRAVISSIMA!!!
Wow. She is awesome.
