Cosi Fan Tutte Una donna a 15 anni

[Autumnwalk2]

She sings Despina so naturally and simply.. Love it!

[MCR1235]

love 3:03 lol makes me laugh XD XD

[helencheddar]

the translation isn't that great.

[vcomini1]

Anche per questo c'è un mezzo sicurissimo!

Io voglio sparger fama che vengano da me!!!! <3

[ellethelvanui]

what a lovely little Despina!! I love her. it makes the character come alive. I love the artistic license taken with this production. BRAVA!

[lunair30]

Noioso.....

[vcomini1]

penso sia la migliore interpretazione che io abbia mai visto! dorabella e despina sono perfette!

(Fate alla militare! RECLUTATE!!!!) ahahahahahahahah XD

[papagena92]

the text is sooooo hilarious!

[ELNIEVLA]

finally I can understand something that other people in the world don't understand without subtitles :))

at 2:23 what a wonderful way to say Admirer in Old Italian "ciccisbei" ehehe

[AriellaLouise]

she´s amazing !

[NemoProkofiev551]

Well, what a chauvinistic ideal Despina has! "For the glory of the fairer sex." Ha!

Wow. 18th century ideals and contemporary ones are quite distinct. The 18th century had pulchritudinous music and art, but could one ever deal with the ideals of the time? I'd sure be up debating everything and questioning everyone's authority- hence I'd get in a lot trouble quite quickly. Man, I do love the time in which I live in. Just another reason to love the twenty-first century.

[meriomeri]

@NemoProkofiev551 I don't know..... if anything, Despina is an early feminist. She's telling the girls to do whatever makes them happy, to deny ideals of propriety and the social norm. The girls are very 18th century, however, Despina is hundreds of years ahead of her time.

[PiikMul]

@meriomeri So feminism is all about lying and deceiving people as long as it serves your goals? Nice ideals.

[meriomeri]

@PiikMul Is that what I said? I didn't say she was a perfect character. Despina doesn't believe that anything more than a little bit of scandal is going to be the outcome of all of this. I think she actually cares very much for the girls and wants them to lighten up a bit. It is the men that are the true bad ones in this opera. Btw, this is Youtube, there is no need for such a heavy-handed response to a simple comment.

[chevrox]

@PiikMul Lying and deceptive feminists? Your selective blindness is almost comical, commenting as such on an opera about two self-absorbed men throwing their fiancees into utter confusion and emotional turmoil (by deception, by the way) for a stupid bet!

[jimmyrotella]

hihi!

[22melomana]

io quiero ser despina! :)

[BarbaraPloyer333]

I'll always remember her as Despina. She rocks.

[Satirike]

Garmendia is such a looker.

[elias12186]

Ughhh

[patrickjohn84]

that's the truth.

[vcomini1]

haha! troppo simpatica!!!! XD

[bwayestrella24]

What a fabulous scene! All three singers have beautiful voices and wonderful characterizations that keep me intrigued. Grazie a elias!

[JotheStrongest]

Ha una minima idea di cosa voglia dire sedurre con grazia questa Despina? ...pessima recitazione.

[Tinasnape]

Yes, beautifully played! I really enjoy this version... they are all so expressive!!!

[Allisinger]

Great acting!

[Loremimi]

Fantastico!

[Amaranthina]

I think the best Despina ever! <3

[passionsong07]

Watch Cecilia Bartoli at the Met doing this. Amazing.

[DoryViolet]

I agree with you, Bartoli is better in voice and acting.

[giirving]

Yes. She is amazing. But I do have to say that I adore this production.

[cartoonandanime]

AHHAAHAHA FUNNY

[g4thz]

I wonder what Mozart felt about this opera. As I watch the translation, I wonder if he agreed with the sentiments, or if he felt like he should be better than them, or if... I don't know, if they made him feel a little bit uncomfortable... guilty--- I mean, he wasn't always faithful to his Constanze.

Maybe that's part of the point of the opera! I don't know.

[MCR1235]

Amazing piece of music!!

[operaticxingenue]

I LOVE Anke's "E poi?"! It's so short and cute--almost innocent. XD

[erlantzfb]

Zorionak Ainhoa, izugarri ari zara, ea laister elkarrekin egiten degun lan. Zorionak, Erlantz.

[Luindriel]

Awesome! Thanks so much for posting this!

[SsteinwayS]

Thanks for posting YOURS! :P

[Luindriel]

LOL I have this on my favorites list.

[oleander1684]

Ainhoa Garmendia is absolutely arresting. brava! thanks for posting this!

[KatherineXIX]

And I know I've talked about Miah's laugh in at least two other video comments, but it's so funny how Vondung's laugh sounds more "sopranic!"

[elias12186]

Have you seen the interview with them? Anke has a really...deep voice...Its kind of scary! I guess I do prefer her laugh though.

I don't really like this Despina...good voice but just a weird shaped face...it makes her acting weird!

[olympicfreak678]

Where is this interview?

[sistinas1]

@elias12186 can you post the interview here??

[KatherineXIX]

This scene is so hilarious when it's acted correctly, and this comes the closest to perfect!

[elias12186]

I don't like her acting, specially during Alla Bella Despinetta

[MysteriousSymphony]

she's very good!

I only wish she would make less weird moves with her mouth.

[leporello89]

Great performance!! Ainhoa Garmendia is the best Despina

Brava!

Thanks for post :)
