Der Rosenkavalier - duet:Sophie, Octavian - Zurich 2004

formidable la façon dont Sophie prononce le prénom "Hyacinthe" elle fait comprendre clairement combien elle le trouve "désuet" et aussi,Quinquin,ce surnom lui déplait fortement.

Grotesque and pretentiously bizarre. The singing isn't bad, though. I wonder if Vesselina means "tiny vessel" in whatever language that is? What a terrible name for a woman.

@dmpetrick Bulgarian... Probably translates to something like Wilhelmina. It is a pretty common Slavic name.

Is the woman who had a hat playing a guy here, sorry I don´t know this opera.

@IshyIMB017

yes - Oktavian is a young male, played by a mezzo-soprano

[IshyIMB017]

@lhrlyc is it suppose to be played by a mezzo-soprano? weird.

[fancyfemini]

[nispen]

Love the singing -- AND the acting

[phantomunmasked]

Lol! Love that expression at "hyacinth"

And Kasarova's *tch* at "Quin quin!"

Brilliant! love this production! Wish i could get my hands on it!

Kasarova always sings flat and the vibrato is more of a bleat- Hartelius deserves better.
