DEBORAH VOIGT - aria from William Tell

[coryisawake]

She had the voice for this rep - pity she decided to take larger roles.

Thanks for the post. I love the rehersal type complilations ^_^

This is so impressive. Love the legato and the sweetness she displays here... I wish I could find a recording of the performance. Thank you!

[cybertopc]

Couldnt hear it!

[guappaione]

I love the conductor. What a nice guy. So helpful and not arrogant.

She's amazing.

Hey, subtitler: "not so slow" does not translate as "non so piano", silly. :)

This is gorgeous. Vintage Voigt.

@SilentAuror

In italian "piano" means also "slow", even in music, of course. In this case the subtitles are right because they are talking about speed.

Sorry for my bad english.

Wow. THat was out of this world. She is my hero!

[slobone]

Very informative -- even the greatest artist can still get advice on how to improve her performance. But who dreamed up that hideous costume she wears in the actual performance?

[cbrown6660]

You guys think this is great you should have heard her sing Ballo En Maschera with Pavarotti,... breath taking!!!

[Pjeppy]

She was amazing, no the voice isn't what it used to be but she is a wonderfully sweet person and still very talented.

[christinegroeneveld]

God, this is so wonderfull. I'm glad she is still with us in excelent form.

[courtneybaritone01]

She doesn't work it out like this anymore! :-(

[chu10rro]

Brava diva! What legato!

[powerinpraise2000]

she sounds NOTHING like this anymore. she needs to revisit this daily. Her old singing is far preferable to this wobbly nasal thing she does now. Her tone was so rich. And its not just the weight loss, her tone was becoming more and more thin as the years went on.

[singthesilences]

I've been saying exactly the same thing !!!

Hi Powerinpraise,

I saw a live recital at Los Angeles Opera house of Deborah Voigt at the beginning of the year. She looked incredible and she sounded fantastic. Her recital was a huge triumph . She got a very long standing ovation. She deserved it too.

It was awesome, really!

So beautiful!!!

[FABRIZIO82]

Gorgeous.

[operadonna]

I love it! I wish I could hear Debbie in this role LIVE.

I don't like her in Italian rep usually but this is an exception. Very few can do these tricky and awfully long phrases this successfully.

[pagerbear]

When was this filmed? It's stunningly beautiful!

[cfilipow86]

absolutely gorgeous
