Roberto Alagna & Angela Gheorghiu - Interview and backstage

[robertocozzarin]

che falsi :)

[rovingdesertfox]

So, now they are apart.  What a shame?

[Solison]

Dude kisses every female in the mouth lol?

[Od3tt301]

Sweet !!!

[RoyKa2010]

Y a tant de gaffe: Faust?! Angela jorju ?! :-))

[dianacroitoriu]

numai prostii spun astia in interviu de cind vissi d'arte este in faust ? ce incultura ...

[matthieusarah]

Le commentateur dit "ce soir Angela chante Faust"... Et quand on voit Roberto la regarder backstage, elle chante "vissi d'arte"! Et vissi d'arte, c'est pas dans Faust!

[sebastien1chartry]

@matthieusarah Elle ne chantais pas.. c'etais un audio ;) j'etais a ette representation la!!

[19olivier72]

@matthieusarah Excuse-moi mais c'est pas "Vissi d'arte", extrait de "La Tosca" de Puccini qu'on entend mais "Mi chiamano Mimi", extrait de "La bohème" de Puccini. Le compositeur au moins était juste :-)

[matthieusarah]

@19olivier72 désolée mais à 1:55 c'est bien vissi d'arte! d'ailleurs ce sont les premières paroles qu'on entend...."vissi d'arte, vissi d'amore!" ;-)

[19olivier72]

@matthieusarah En effet, à 1:55 c'est "Vissi d'arte" et d'ailleurs, on l'entend clairement. Mais moi je me réfèrais à ton 1er commentaire, c-à-d lorsque le commentateur dit "ce soir Angela chante Faust", à + ou - 0:50. Là, je te garantie qu'elle chante "Mi chiamano Mimi". Parole de chanteur ténor :-))

[matthieusarah]

@19olivier72 En effet, c'est la Bohème ;) Mais la Bohème ou Tosca peu importe que c'est beau, que c'est beau!!! Et quelle chance tu as de pouvoir chanter!!

[19olivier72]

@matthieusarah "La bohème" est mon opéra favori. Je l'ai vu 2 fois à l'opéra, je ne sais combien de fois en vidéo et je ne te dis pas le nombre de fois que je l'ai écouté sur cd :-)) Je ne pense pas que ce soit une question de chance, mais plutòt une question de volonté. On voit que tu es une passionnée, pourquoi ne prends-tu pas des cours? Il n'est jamais trop tard tu sais pour se faire plaisir...Tiens-moi au courant! Bonne chance :-)!

[hanja2etoile]

In a new interview Angela gave they are no longer divorcing!! Google search and look for the romanian article "Nu mai divorteaza". There is a video of this interview as well on youtube- just search her name.

[chislehurstbat]

how sad that they are divorcing....

[InfernoDaBaka]

Ils font un peu cucul non?

[chofydonna]

Oh she's adorable, he couldn't handle her

[DanRobSo]

They're getting divorced.  Oh, well . . .

[myyellowlabfan]

Okay - the night they got married, they performed in the 25th Anniversary Gala for James Levine ( April 1996 NYC) Actually it was Rudolph Giuliani ( great operat fan) who officiated. That was the night Alagna & Bryn Terfel sang the most beautiful rendition of Tenor/Baritone duet from the Pearl Fishers ever recorded. You can see it on You Tube...

[cantanteporsiempre]

lol, yes I think the same. She´s pure fire, he couldn´t follow her passes in bed lol.

[kleinbittersdorf]

Super and looks happy. I did not know they got married. have a happy life and never separate!

[HeidelbergSoprano]

@kleinbittersdorf They're divorced :/

[emotion70]

@HeidelbergSoprano -It was an intention in this sense 2 years ago but they have never divorced.Besides, they have been together since March. :-))))) Finger crossed!



[HeidelbergSoprano]

@emotion70 Ah I didn't know that my apologizes I'm happy they've found it in themselves not to give up on love because they are such a beautiful couple ^.^

[emotion70]

Long live their love and music!

[pesciolinotriste]

that's te kanawa singing tosca in the background

[toscadepuccini]

Not really, it's Angela.

[burtsbees2]

yup, well spotted.

[boris1281]

Does he grab her ass on entering into th ROH and that on TV?

[OettingerCroat]

well not really grab but sort of pat her along forth, i thought that was adorable and funny :-D

[HistoryGeek4U]

He's talented and good-looking; looks like a tenor version of Dmitri Hvorostovsky.

[babajaga39]

absolutely agree!!!

[Cinderella977]

Che coppia!

[pasielu]

sono una bella coppia

[operafan85]

They got married in 1996, and a few days later they did a performance of La Bohéme in the Met. After the performance, James Levine announced to the publicum that they are married now.

[tusepagliacco]

Are Alagna and Giorghiu married???

[MuyBonitaBoricua]

yes

[JuillHope17]

what opera was she in that night? manon? chenier? what?

[burtsbees2]

i believe it was massennet's margarete; i've seen clips of of alagna playing opposite her as faust, even though they're playing a clip of vissi d'arte in the background at one point

[labohemmy]

gounod's faust, actually, i think. at least, it is the exact same production/costumes as the gounod she did at covent gardens. did massennett write one, too? with boito's mephistofele and gounod's faust i get confused by all the other reincarnations. oddly, i've seen that whole broadcast from cg with alagna as faust. hmm.

[burtsbees2]

actually, you're completely right. i had my french composers confused. i referred to it as margarete because that is an alternate title to gounod's faust. my bad

[emmyelle]

i know what you mean, i often get confused about french composers, too. i wonder why they are so tricky..? with me it's always debussy and poulenc. i don't know why...

[burtsbees2]

haha, thanks for understanding. i also just realized that it's not even gheorghiu singing "vissi d'arte", but i'm pretty sure it's kiri te kanawa

[emmyelle]

whoa.. i just listened to that again. it does sound sort of like her.. that is so weird!

oh, i wish i could understand anything that they are saying.. except for angela's occasional "mi amor" i have no clue. sigh..

[battycys]

Yes, it was Charles Gounod's Faust. I think I was in the audience at this performance at Covent Garden, around Sept 2006. ( I was at two A cast performances and one B cast perf.) Faust was played by (obviously not Alagna in this perf.) a promising Polish Tenor. Piotr Beczala. Memphistopheles was played by Orlin Anastassov. I have the programme in my London home. You can recognise by the costume/design that it was David McVicar's production.

[chislehurstbat]

...that was shot last year when she did Faust at ROH. Would be great if she sang the Traviata at ROH again...

[belcantomania]

Ma mi faccia il piacere!!!

[aljart]

Muy bien Roberto...actualmente eres el mejor tenor del mundo...Angela tien la voz de una angela..jaja....hacen una muy buena pareja en la vida y en la ópera. Les deseo muchos éxitos. Tu amigo de Venezuela.

[ejrouge]

They are the perfect couple, in opera and in real life. I wish we could see more singers being able to get along as good as Roberto and Angela do on stage.

[azzz09zzza]

Roberto looks very handsome as always!! I only wish I was the one receiving flowers and getting kisses from him!!

[russlena]

prodigieuse illustration de l'incompétence formidable du monde journalistique ; le vissi d'arte à 1:50 n'est pas interprété par Gheorghiu.... et même pas dans le ton...

[drdre333]

J'écoute la même aussi, haha.

[Morgaine32]

so sweet!!! I love them *.*

[hwhap13]

Merci 1000 fois! Quand est-ce que ca a ete diffuse a la tele?

[labohemmy]

Aww - this looks so sweet. If only I had the slightest idea what they were saying. Could anyone please translate any of this? Thank you!

[hanja2etoile]

I'm a HUGE fan of this!!!! is this all or is there another part before it? (it starts with 'une heure plus tard', or 'one hour later' so i'm assuming they started earlier, hehe)

thanks sooo much for posting!

[BravaBerganza01]

jeeej, this is so charming video :) :)

Thanks!

[Lilith89ibz]

Qué liiiiiiindos! XD
