What a voice! What a control! Bravo Damrau! Just the best we have in opera today!

What's the name of this duet?

[chrizosthemis]

@WitchCraft129 It's second part of Gilda-Rigoletto's duet from first act. Its first words are: "Figlia/ Mio padre". Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) is composer.

stonatissimo,urlatissimo ,bruttissimo ...e perche hanno "creato" questa "stanza" ? Per aiutare i vostri grandi voci ?E questo letto a che serve c'e qualquno chi e malato ?

Questo non e Verdi ,questo "Rigoletto" e una depressione,dopo lo spettacolo ci vuole una distribuzione di "Prozak" mischiato con la vodka per dare coraggio al pubblico .

[Ferla87]

Look for two duets: "Ah, deh non parlare al misero" and "Ah! Veglia, o donna, questo fiore" it's not that seperated. Huh I love her :D

[brandon4026]

Does anyone know the exact name of this duet? It's so beautiful.

[Satirike]

4:37 Oh My God.

[flouraki]

I am going to c her tom!! Can you let me know how to get her autograph?? How many hours before the show would I have to come to be able to get it??

[Satirike]

omigosh, aren't u coming on april 9 :P I am going then, anyways.

You go to the stage door after the show; there are signs from the lobby leading to it. You can also ask a security guard/usher where the stage door is.

[flouraki]

lol I can't go the 9th unfortunately...I am going tomorrow lol R us sure that they will let us in for autographs?? I guess we will have to run after the show lol

[flouraki]

Yeah...I can only go tom....so we just rush to the stage door and they will actually let us in for that?? Wow...lol

[Satirike]

Yes they let you do that - you might have to wait like 30-40 minutes for Damrau to wash her makeup off, get dressed, etc.

Push ahead of the crazies.. watch out for old ladies stepping on your feet.

[flouraki]

haha alright......thank you!! =D

[chicha1964]

I remember I cried my heart out watching this for the first time right at that moment. :)

[OperaBaritoneJoe]

[flouraki]

[Satirike]

Gilda, in Rigoletto, same as this one.

Do you have a Facebook? message me if you would like to be friends! There are lots of diana fan groups on facebook.

[Satirike]

If you go let's go get autographs from her at the stage door - i am going to see her in person anyways ^^

Ah, I never get tired of this video, even though my computer doesn't have sound right now.

[mauscherika]

If I weren't a crazy Andrea Rost fan, I would say, she is the best Gilda ever! ..but unfortunately because of this she can be my second :-)))

[wpunderlich]

Very good Damrau

[cmorgan22]

Is Zeljko the next Leo Nucci in this role?

[Operaphile]

Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!

[littlechildren01]

ey, can someone please tell me the name of the aria at the very beginning of the video? please.

thanks!

[renethel]

amazing duet. strange set.

[DessayBestSinger]

strange but great! I saw it on TV and I really liked the sets :-P

[renethel]

was this at The Met b/c when I saw an opera there, they had the same box stage within the actual stage.

[DessayBestSinger]

no, it was at the semperoper in dresden

[renethel]

oh ok thanks!

and by the way, I LOVE your username! Natalie Dessay rocks! :)

[DessayBestSinger]

yeah... I don't like it...b/c Natalie is not the best singer...but of course she rocks! :-P

[Satirike]

who is the best then?

[DessayBestSinger]

callas

[mjmacmtenor]

If you notice, the subtitles are in French. My guess is that this is Paris Opera.

[mpj67]

No this producion is from the Staatskapelle opera in Dresden, Germany. It was broadcasted by the French/German arte channel which explains the French surtitles. It was a wonderful production, Damarau and Flores are just wonderful!

[maggeo78]

No this was in Dresden!

[littlechildren01]

oh, how can there be so much talent in one single person!!!??? really, diana is a gift from god to men! we have his voice in hers! she is truly a godess!

[leporello89]

This is the best duo of Rigoletto :) Thanks for post it

[maggeo78]

Leporello the best of Rigoletto is vendetta tremenda vendetta!!!! Even if I don't like very much Zeljko Lucic singing as Rigoletto...

[leporello89]

Nooooooo! The best is Figlia! Mio padre! (well Vendetta tremenda vendetta is also good, I love that, but that duo is the best!) Also Caro nome, and Act III XDDDDD

YOU DON'T LIKE ZELJKO LUCIC!!!!!! He has a beautiful voice, I think...but I prefer Carlos Alvarez ;)

[maggeo78]

Vendetta it's great and passionate... It looks like der holle Rache in die Zauberflote. It's the aria that detects the character of Rigoletto... I think it's the central point of the opera. Rigoletto wants vendetta for her daughter and Gilda dies for her father's desire of revenge!!!

[leporello89]

Bueno, si te refieres al punto en el que se revela el caracter de Rigoletto, en tal caso creo que el punto central de la opera seria Cortiggiani vil razza ;)

[DessayBestSinger]

lo vi en la tele! Todo era genial! la puesta en escena me encanta, Lucic con un a voz wapiiiiiixima, Diana Genial, y Juan Diego el mejor Duc!!

[leporello89]

Bueno, lo de la puesta en escena...XDDDD a mi solo me gusto el último acto. Y el tema de JDF como Duca...ya lo hablaremos XDDDDDDD

Aun asi fue genial, me gusto muchisimo (pero claro estando Diana...que te voy a decir XDDD)

[DessayBestSinger]

Hey! hay cosas con Natalie que no me gustan sabes? como orfeo en los infiernos...no me gusta mucho...

No es porque hay une persona que adoras que va a ser automaticamente genial ;-P

[leporello89]

Este comentario es para mi???????? No entiendo a que viene lo de Natalie...bueno ya me explicaras :P

[DessayBestSinger]

wno ers la única persona con irene y con onegin65 con quién hablo en español xD

has dixo '(pero claro estando Diana...etc) habrás dixo que como está diana es genial...:P

[oboistCONDUCTOR]

Bravo as well to the oboist of course.Good orchestra tuning good or better singing hehehehehehehe

[oboistCONDUCTOR]

I love Damrau

[maggeo78]

Coloraturafan go on like this... This Rigoletto is so wonderful!!!! Diana sings as an angel!!!! She's so great.... I think now her voice is ready to sing Traviata...

[oboistCONDUCTOR]

Yes .You are right rigthissimo!

[maggeo78]

well, for me it's so wonderful to see her voice getting greater and greater day after day.... It's quite impossible to emprouve a perfect thing but Diana with her voice is doing miracles....
