  • just saw this couple days ago. it was amazing.

  • Donde Carajo, puedo conseguir esta version, con Damrau, Tengo la version de Londres Con Dessay, Florez, Corbelli.

    Mi Humilde Opinion, Tannto Dessay como Damrau son fenomenales, cada una le da su estilo al personaje, He visto los tres Sulpices, y para mi Corbelli lo hace excelente, sin menosprecias a Alvarez y al otro

  • Today's first 'pair' in opera is Damrau/Florez.

  • I saw this production, and I'd give a year of my life to see it again. Ms. Damrau and Mr. Florez each have phenomenal voices. They have such chemistry together. The sets, the costumes, her silly pigtail--all perfect. All of the singers demonstrated a real gift for physical comedy. It was one of the best productions of any operas I've ever seen--loved, loved, LOVED it. If this were on DVD, I would buy a dozen copies.

  • why haven't she a DVD?

  • This woman's voice knows no bounds. Simply spectacular!

  • Diana deserves her own productions...

    I love her and Natalie equally but I think that Diana in these costumes has a slight and very unfortunate resemblance to the Wendy's girl. I love her though.

  • I wish the DVD had been released with Damrau instead of Dessay *sigh*

  • So do i! I do like Dessay on the DVD but i think Diana Damrau is better! In my opinion anyway!

  • I agree with you... Dessay had 3 TV broadcasts of her performances: NY, London and Vienna. Damrau should have had the DVD!

  • does any body know where i can buy a copy of this SF production?

  • I was there on last night at the first row. I remember the same scene in which the piano bench was almost failed. I thought it might have been the part of the scene as she recovered so good. I see all of the productions in SFO, rarely the audience stands up for the curtain call.

  • Really superb last night. Close call when DD jumped up on to the wobbly piano bench in Act 2, though-- almost went off platform. She quickly caught her balance and looked at the audience as if to say "Yikes!" all the while maintaining flawless character and spot on performance. See this if you can!

  • Yes, I was there too and there was a kind of collective gasp in the audience. No wobbling bench in today's performance. She and JDF are both incredible, particularly in their more melancholy arias (which aren't shown in this video).

  • I love how she sings sideways from 2:17-2:22.

  • I get to see this at the end of the month and I am so excited!

  • JDF and DD were sensational!

    I was fortunate enough to see the opening night last Tuesday, and D Orchestra Premium seats to see them close up! It's very rare to have two of the most reknown opera stars perform together in my home town!

  • You're so lucky. I hope to see them at the Met in February.

    Did you get to meet JDF and/or DD?

  • Sadly, didn't meet them.

  • Woah! that is amazing! i really wish i could see this! i agree though that it is such a shame she has to do the same production as Dessay...although she doesnt seem to mind! she looks like she's having a great time...and so she should... SHE IS AMAZING!

  • For those who have seen this production (in SF) -- please comment and post your thoughts. I wish I wasn't so far away from SF

  • Cant wait to see DD and JDF at the met in FEB!! SF'ers sooo lucky

  • I'm going in Feb too!!!! :)

  • Diana is super cute (she's definitely one of my favorite sopranos)! Wow her and JDF have great chemistry! Wish I was able to see their performance.

  • one can see how much effort she is putting in to be funny...

  • Comment removed

  • Wah, GREAT! :D Thank you so much for posting!

  • Wooooow.....

    I've seen the previous sometimes ago but there was only JDF!!!!

  • It's a pity that they didn't made a new production for Diana - this way she will always be compared to Natalie Dessay. Although I have to say that Diana is vocally faaaaaar more secure than Natalie in this, although I 'm a also big fan of Natalie!

  • It's incredible how her voice it's changing!!!!!! She looks so happy!!!!!!

    Yes it's a pity she will sing this in the same production of Dessay... No dvd sigh sigh...

  • Diana ti amiamo!!!

  • I am counting down the days until I see this =D

  • You are too lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
