This is a live recording!!!! WHAT do you people want??? Judge it on face value: and then you'll admit that this is fantastic! (you haven't actually heard T's battling with this music!)
It's impressive, but does sound a bit unhealthy. Either she'll relax into it, and realise she doesn't need to make so much effort, or she'll be a bit knackered in a couple of years.
Listen to MARJORIE LAWRENCE, BIRGIT NILSON. This lady is actually a Lyric wiho is pushing her voice to make it larger. It also accounts for flatness. The middle voice can
@MrSkylark1 I disagree. I saw Ms. Lindstrom at Orlando Opera (now closed) several years ago and at Florida Grand Opera just a week ago, and she carries excellently. She also sings with wonderful nuance. I'm not sure where you hear her singing flat, either.
@MrSkylark1 Lawrence and Nilsson with two Ses :) are all long retired and the former is long dead. Their recording legacy might be of stunning quality, but then we are talking about the real live stage of today here - I hate it when people say someone is not as good as Callas or Nilsson or Sutherland or Freni or whoever because unless you can take these sopranos back from the dead to sing tomorrow night, leave the stage to today's sopranos please, there is nothing we can do about it.
@MrSkylark1 I heard Lindstrom in this role last night. She does push her voice, has an unpleasant quality in her vibrato, has some pitch problems, and has a voice that almost completely drops out at the bottom of her lower register when heard in the theater live. She might have had a bad night, but somehow after listenig to this video, I don't think so.
This production - though with a different soprano - was recently shown on Sky Arts. The costumes and set are marvellous. Can anyone find this on DVD? I failed to do so.

@Drelnis One thing I have to say is Lindstrom is much better than Guleghina :D

Anyone is permitted to perform today. It is a comedy.

@MrSkylark1 After hearing Lindstrom...and Sylvie Valayre a year ago, along with others, I agree wholeheartedly.

I noticed in the beginning that Frank Poretta was also playing Calaf. I sang with him once, he is awesome. Too bad there is not video of him
