May somebody tell alagna that while singing in french you do NOT have to pronounciate the french er but the italian er? THe same is when you are reading a poem in french.

Yeah... unfortunately. You know, Alagna can be good when he wants to. He just doesn't try.

LOL....wrong key. He may as well sing a Baritone version.

The French version was written (by Gluck himself) for a haute-contre, and Roberto Alagna is singing this aria only a semitone lower than the score, which is historically acceptable and even preferable. Minkowski's recording with Richard Croft as Orphée is also a semitone lower than modern pitch, and this aria is sung in the same key. I don't see anything wrong with that.

I wouldn't either, if it were ANYONE but Alagna singing it. After the stupid crap he's pulled over the past few years, I don't think he should act like he's so irreplaceable that he can just do as he pleases. I'm tired of boring, vapid singers who act like they're god's gift to the opera. Maybe that's coloring my comments a bit.

In other words: whatever he does, he does it wrong, only because he had a terrible B flat one night in La Scala?
As far as I'm concerned, I don't care about his antics and his silly interviews. Whenever he sings well, I like. And he often does.

No, it's not because he had one horrible Bb. It's because he wlaked offstage in the middle of the opera, which is the HEIGHT of unprofessionalism. He and his stupid wife have for years acted like they are the irreplaceable, perfect artists of the opera world. Their attitudes are what piss me off. You need some ego to sing well. Fine. But they're far from being irreplaceable.
