  • Haven't heard this in so long. I'm glad I found this again <3

  • NIce. This belongs to History!

  • dear opera Youtubers, I recommend to listen to this Slovenian soprano Olga Gracelj in this same aria

  • BRAVOOOO****

  • Si lourd! si peu virtuose! et concerné... Le chant de la dame ne suit pas son physique helas!!!

  • @BEVER29 On ne peut plus d'accord avec vous; cependant, il semblerait que ses indéniables atouts physiques soient seuls à l'origine de son grand succès...

  • @BEVER29 Et à mon humble avis, dans le genre soprano brune, pulpeuse, volcanique et presque indécente, Moffo était très largement mieux...

    Julien

  • @PopoliDiTessalia Et vous vous adressez à un FAN de Moffo! Le "presque indécente" est trés juste (même sans allusion à sa "carrière"... "coquine"!). La " Bellissima" fut une Violetta particulièrement convaincante par, entre autre, la double composante de sa voix faite de sensualité affichée et de musicalité retenue.

  • para el mrpianolu.

    Eso no es verdad la coloratura le pesa mucho a anna y no la da completa yo como tenor eh cantado la parte de alfredo y de verdad no hay mejor version que la callas y alfredo kraus, y se ve que la que no tiene entendimiento de la musica eres tu aprendiz

  • che classe!

  • Wow, this is quite good, actually! o.o

  • LOS 113 QUE PUSIERON "NO ME GUSTA" PUEDEN SER SÓLO DOS COSAS: O CANTATES FRUSTRADOS O 113 INÉPTOS, INCULTOS Y POR NO DECIR IDIOTAS QUE NO SABEN NADA DE MÚSICA Y TALENTO EXTRAORDINARIO COMO EL DE ANNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • As usual, she's gorgeous, glamorous...you can't take your eyes off her. Also, as usual, her coloratura is sketchy, patchy, sometimes approximate. I will always maintain that her voice is very much like Mirella Freni in weight and timbre (sometimes she sounds exactly like Mirella) and she should follow that vocal path, rather than Bel Canto. (Yes, I know Freni did Bel Canto early in her career...Netrebko is past that point.)

  • Great!

    She is really beautiful, great singer and great clothes. Everything is great!

    Thanks for uploading!

  • I could watch this over and over again. Amazing performance!

  • She has such a haunting voice that really brings out the emotion in this song.

  • I love this song!!!

  • This role suits her more than almost anything else she did.

  • Voce pazzesca, in potenza nn ho mai sentito niente del genere.

  • E bellissima Violeta!

  • I love her in La Boheme.

  • Im not a Netrebko fan but she did an excellent job here. Brava!

  • AND THE NY TIMES HAD WRITTEN (ABOUT I PURITANI..." She sang a couple of high Ds and they where ok, but the one & only E flat was Vvery,very flat".. Shes good, Yes, and for a young singer she was VERY good- but she make to few about her talent...Wait and see how she will sing Anna Bolena in April...THEN we would know how great she would become...

  • Its nearly all the same...she has difficulties with the intonation (2:48) in Munich at her debut she controlled nearly the full cabaletta like that.

    Shes good, YES, but when she work a little more-THAN she can be better. I dont like artits like her...always she "Schlittert" over the notes & phrases...It so sad...

  • @OLIVCHEN77 What is sad here is your pathetic nitpicking of a great performance. Her lustrous, magnificent voice, with a golden tone is fantastic and is unmatched. Here is what critics say about Anna: "Netrebkos voice is evenly produced, effortless, sharp and clear and is matched with a technique that loves every note precisely and fully in its proper length and dynamic range. Her pianissimos are thrilling, and her rapid passage work almost flawless.

    The Washington Post Philip Kennicott

  • Best Violetta in history! Brava Anna!

  • @09avenger Thats ridicoulos- inj History? Shes good...but not the best

  • Strilla, lancia gli acuti e non li tiene, e glissa sulle agilità... Perché non ascolta una maestra, Magda Olivero... potrebbe apprendere molto e diventare una vera Violetta, per ora le é adatta l'operetta

  • Beautiful, but Sills is incomparably the best ever. No one even comes close. Voice, acting, tempo, phrasing, tone and agility.

  • definitely the best violetta that has ever lived!!!! I know I will probably be burned at the stake by all of the members of the "Callas Cult" but I honestly think Netrebko has this role down much better than anyone ever has

  • she did a nice job ,and of course one of the most attractive sopranos in the business

  • mirage

    fantastican glas

  • eek! so cacophonous. yuck! she doesn't even know the words.

  • Not gonna lie, most times I don't agree with Netrebko bc I don't think she's right for certain arias she chooses, but I actually enjoyed her here as Violetta....Bravo miss ma'am...Bravo

  • I have this gergiev's La Traviata on DVD, the tempo is unusially slow, but perfomance is very good due to Netrebko starring

  • Wow!!! I heard from her today and they are right! She´s beautifull and excellent!!

  • I used to be able to get that high--so many years ago...

  • Amazing opera! She's phenomenal and the way she hits the high note at the end... amazing!!!

  • That hight note gives some indication of how it is in the opera house, pinning you to your seat!

  • I love you Anna. Mary me. I will buy you castles, airplanes and yachts, except a husband and lover who shall be me! O prima bella!

  • Ann Netrebko is excellent! The best version I have ever heard with tenderness and warmth overall. She owns this role.

  • Anna you are a goddess! Bravo! I love you, thank you for making me happy, God bless you!

  • I don't think I've heard this aria sung more movingly. Her Violetta was absolutely heartbreaking. I always loved her portrayals. She has a gorgeous sound and she is beautiful!

  • @gillimut I loved her portrayal of the role for years. It's great to see that she is equally great on the performances.

  • Canta muy bien y es muy bonita pero honestamente, por todo lo que se habla de ella, me esperaba mucho más , de hecho casi no le dá a la última nota, creo que está sobre estimada. Definitivamente me quedo con otras Violetas como Sumi Jo o Natalie Dessay, son muy superiores.

  • Voce d'angelo

  • ... even better without "Rolando" ... !

  • Sempre Libera - Traviata Contest - Anna Netrebko

  • Perfect performance!

  • She's good in this aria.

  • She owns this aria!

  • My favourite Violetta is Angela Gheorghiu, who took that plunge to sing Verdi's pianisissimo. Netrebko here sounds effortless, while Gheorghiu employs breathiness at the most theatrically appropriate moments in this aria to portray Violetta's troubled longing for romance and her following self-scolding.

    I'd perhaps prefer Netrebko's Violetta in an audio CD.

  • Superb singing, but schoolgirl acting. To see how this should be done, see Tizianna Fabbricini's version - she is not as pretty as Netrobko, but can act her off the stage,

  • Maggielicious is a dumbass... I've been studying for music for about 12 years now (privately, not just in my middle or high school band, and now i'm about to graduate college with a music degree) and she is not out of tune. Anna Netrebko is one of the best sopranos of this day and age and we should be grateful she's even in the world.

  • wooow I´m impressed!!

  • Since my gramps pass away, this song just brings memories and encouragement.

  • Una voz exquisita, tan suave y flexible. Maravillosa!!

  • @Saudave

    YOU ARE A CLUELESS BARBARIAN - Read the press, in particular Washington Post where Anna was regarded as the voice of the decade. English Time magazine nominated Anna as soprano number one a few years ago. Last year she has received a musician of the year award from American classical music community. So, before you state you uneducated and unintelligent opinion, find out what important musical communities think of Netrebko. If you cannot appreciate her - go away and shut up!

  • Hi could someone tell me what "Sempre Libera" means?

  • @onguy3n it means "always free"

  • Beautiful beyond belief! Dear Anna, I can compare you to no one – with your lustrous, magnificent voice, golden tone and stunning physical beauty – you a real Diva, and you are a goddess! Thank you for filling our lives with joy and happiness! I am so happy to exist in your time!

  • @09avenger Now it is official, you are an emotional disorganized person. This explains why you overrate this singer. She has a nice voice, but she still have to learn, for example she must learn to stick just to the repertoire that is suitable to her voice... Given that you seem to have a mental problem, I assume that you won´t understand what I´am talking about. Go and get a life... Stop making a fool of yourself, little boy. Actually you are man, but mentally you are still a boy..

  • @Saudave I am not a man; I am a woman without envyness for beauty, talent and success. You are a miserable piece of shut that pretends to be in charge and to be able to give advice to a WORLD CLASS SOPRANO. So, what are your achievements, - I mean other that criticizing successful and talented people? You are pathetic. Do not bother to write to me again. Actually it is my advice to you – LEAVE ANNA NETREBKO ALONE!!!

  • @09avenger Who are you to defend her. You see, I thought, you were a man. It is really disapointing to read from a woman who can´t express herself politely. You are a disturbed person, for noone who is fulfilled would speak in such a bestial and disparaging way. As I said: get a life and stop playing the fanatic on Youtube. You can show the example by not writting back.... You are a disturbed person...

  • @Saudave

    Dirty sow shut your mouth!

  • @filaredo You seem to be an uninspired person. This gives me the right to be in doubt concerning your taste in classical music or opera...

  • @Saudave

    Dum gris, holde skitne munnen!

  • @Saudave

    Du kleine Schlampe hälst besser Dein freches Maul denn Du bist Dir noch nicht bewusst was auf Dich zukommt hier.

  • @ferricskin es heißt: "was hier auf Dich zukommt". Bitte achte auf Dein Sprachniveau, bevor Du Dich mit deinen abfälligen Äußerungen lächerlich machst...

  • @Saudave

    Das sehe ich genau so!!!

    Shut up and fuck off you fucking street-whore!

  • @Saudave

    Auf solch eine Schlampe die mit 12 schon für jeden die Beine breit gemacht hat haben wir hier gerade noch gewartet.

    Perpiss Dich Du Sau!!

  • @vandrops hey Mutti, hast Du kein Schamgefühl?

  • @Saudave

    Bye, bye hairy cunt!!

  • @Saudave

    You fucking douche-bag .....

    is there any chance you might fuck off and die?

  • @Neanderthalgirl I´m at the prime of my life. So, you will have to cope with the fact that I still have many many many years to live .................

  • @Saudave

    Auf Wiedersehen ......!!!

  • @09avenger i love netrebko but i have to ask are you deaf?! this was pretty bad! i've hear stuff a lot of better from her

  • @Maggielicious21 - What exactly is so bad here ? I would like to hear your

    "educated" opinion.

  • @09avenger well to my so far 4 years long aducated ear she's out of tune most of the time and she had a lot of trouble breathing, i love her but i gotta say she doesn't do everything great all the time, and she knows that too, maybe you should stop watching her singing videos and start watching and reading her interviews so you can see that unlike you she doesn't consider her self the best

  • Comment removed

  • @Maggielicious21 - I do not hear her being out of tune, and "most of the time" does not work my dear, please tell where exactly you hear that ???

    Her breathing is very good here too, she sings very effortlessly with an open throat, evenly producing this amazing round, golden sound! It is also very funny that you expect Anna, a modest person, to say in the interviews that she is the best, LOL! I really think that you are trying to look as a SMART ASS here. Please do us a favor and SHUT UP!

  • @09avenger oh dear god, you are unbelievable. . . . .

  • @09avenger

    Don't waste your time with Maggielicious, she's only an arsehole!

  • Comment removed

  • @gandor1337 - Yes indeed, you right! Thanks! 

  • @Maggielicious21 : it doesn't matter what she thinks of herself, most people find themselves mediocre.... but she has the power to move people, and that is, in the end, all that matters

    no matter what you think of your performance, if the audience likes it, it means that you have the quality to compell people, and that has little to do with mere great technique

  • I'm not a fan of Netrebko. I hate her voice actually, she sing roles that are not suited for her voice. I thought her singing was ok here but the acting put me off. It was very amateurish!

  • @sweetaliena - "The Baronton Sisters on The Ed Sullivan Show" SHUOLD BE YOUR AREA OF EXPERTISE, SO PLEASE , LEAVE OPERA ALONE, LOL!

  • @09avenger PATHETIC STAN

  • @sweetaliena ??????

    I said go back to the circus and leave Anna Netrebko alone, you are not intelligent enough to express your  "amateurish" opinion. LOL!

  • @09avenger Pathetic, immature stan! You don't know me, you know nothing about me. If you can't respect someone opinion that differs from yours, you're the one who's not intelligent enough.

  • @sweetaliena I cannot respect fools - go back to the circus and leave Anna Netrebko ALONE!!!!

  • @09avenger You're a disgrace to Anna Netrebko fans! I feel pity for you. You're a sad human being.

  • she is good better then some of the other "opera" singers out there. i am learning to sing with her tecnique and i think she is doing a good job, her vowels are good and definetly has the brightness in her voice that i cant spell in italian. she is good.

  • I like opera and arabic music. I wouldn't know any of this music if it weren't for Youtube... thanks for posting. I love Anna, she's beautiful.

  • Comment removed

  • Unbelievable! She sings like an angel!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!

  • Anna é a real sucessora de Callas e Tebaldi . Lindo !!

  • Anna is truly wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Это прекрасно! Браво!!!!

  • So far my favorite version of this section of La Traviata. Bravo

  • @eloosivegem Same. Heard it in class and have been mesmerized since.

  • A competition! My score is 7 out of 10. She looks and sings well, especially on the high notes, where she is superb. She loses a point for throaty singing on the lower notes, schoolgirl acting and lack of expression.

  • Вот срач-то развели ценители прекрасного! Вы ещё обсудите Катю Лель и Катю Огонёк. ПОЗОРИЩЕ!!!!

  • back in the days when she was marvellous

  • Hey folks, anyone know where Hammer55292 has fled. Or where he has gone to hide.

    to hammer552..it awaits a judicial process, I hope that this perverse and degenerate guy be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

  • Hi guys, now we got this dirty sow HAMMER/Striker/zeeshansbld/ Dessayfanatic/ Hatenetrebko/ Callasforeverable and all the fake IDs from this idiot!!!!

    Now, we destroy this rotten arsehole!!! :-)))))))

    All of you send all bad comments to Annas internet site!!!!

  • Hi folks, I'm still around!!! There is good news! I send every bad comment at management of Anna Netrebko since 4 weeks. The lawyers from Anna bring in an action against HAMMER/HATENETTEBKO and all the faked IDs. Let him write against Anna and her son Tiago! :-)) It will come expensive and the damages action too. Please send copies from bad comments at the management from Anna Netrebko. The contact is: worldwideweb-annanetrebko-com-­contact
  • Anna Netrebko, doesn't know anything about COLORATURA, ACCACCIATURA, APPOGGIATURA and TRINADOS etc. she doesn't have technique, her voice isn't suited to sing coloratura roles. I am going to give her an advice, she should change her occupation or she should go to a Conservatoire to study The Bel Canto, and old schooling.

  • @Kalegoropoulos

    I know, you mean Callas!

  • @Kalegoropoulos

    You rotten greek sow come back to Callas sites. I know, you became scared of FILAREDOS the great fighters!!!

    We have destroy you little dirty pig!! :-)))))))

    HAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAW!!!!

  • I think Netrebko has a really beautiful voice, but she is not suited to sing coloratura roles such as Violetta, Lucia and Juliette. Her voice is too slow.

  • Dear Anna, CHANGE JOB.

  • I say goodbye to these pages of Anna Netrebko. I am not available right now, But I thank you for caring enough to write and reply . I am making some changes in my life. Please leave a message if so you wish it. If I do Not return your message, you are one of those changes.

  • Sublime. Everything is wondeful: voice, singing, look, acting.

  • This is rubbish, crap, Anna Netrebko should listen to Callas' recordings, before singing La Traviatta.

    What happen to the Mi flat hahahahaha that was horrible.

  • @Kalegoropoulos

    GREEK SOW shut the fuck up!

    In her girlhood Callas is a spoilt little madam and "SERVED" german soldiers.

    Later she was the doxy from several old men and angled Meneghini in the same line like Anna Nicole Smith what spread her legs for money!

    Yes, she was smart and Meneghini pays her career. Not her voice, no, the money open the doors!

    Meneghini superseded the casting couch!!!

  • @belmanotre

    BOLLOCKS, BOLLOCKS, BOLLOCKS, BOLLOCKS .....

    fucking moron!

  • Super Wow.

  • Anna Netrebko by THE LOVE OF GOD, AND NOT ALREADY Allows maa10able, 09avenger, ad80ad, spqrmor and others,will them CONTINUE with your STUPID mantra , BECAUSE AGAIN come back "you-know-who."

    In the dictionary there is one word: Masochism.

  • Sublime! Fabulous! Devine!

  • Wow this is the best I've ever heard her. I agree, she's been singing stuff to small and light for her. I've always heard her as more dramatic, and this fits her voice perfectly. No more Je Veux Vivre, or other light coloratura rep- welcome to big rep, Anna! You rock!

  • brava bella donna,ha una bellisima  voce la vita é davanti Netrebko c'é tempo per imparare il mestiere ...

  • SHE IS MARIA CALLAS REDIVIVA!!!!!

  • Ma per favore...

  • Comment removed

  • While I'm not a big fan, I must say she does sound quite good here. This is by far the cleanest I've ever heard her in coloratura passages. What puzzles me is that she insists on singing coloratura roles...She's one of the rare singers IMHO who is singing roles that are too light for her. She seems more like Mimi or Manon, etc. Traviata is a good fit for her tho since it's not really a "coloratura" role.

  • Blah, blah, balh... No one gives a shit about what you think.

  • @SzalonaSzymonka: I compliment Netrebko and you spew bile. What the FUCK is your problem?

  • @goldenthroat86 Yup, she always struck me as more of a lyric - like Gheorgiu and Fleming though with a bit of a smaller voice. They're all about equal as it regards coloratura technique but Fleming and Gheorgiu made smarter choices IMO.

  • Anna è sempre la migliore!! Favolosaaa!!!!

  • and people...the more you respond to striker, the more he's going to write stupid comments. he'll eventually stop when you stop giving him the attention that he/she craves. :)

  • For me, Angela Gheorghiu sings a better Violetta. Netrebko can't act or provide some subtlety or expression. She is mostly concerned with technique. How is she Violetta ? She's just standing there & singing. She clearly wants to emulate Sutherland, not Callas. She'd do better to try to provide some acting and passion into her performances. Another such lifeless singer is Renee Fleming. The true dramatically skilled sopranos are all dead

  • MastersoftheOpera Losers on you tube hate Netrebko because they cannot stand her success. The thing is even if you bash Anna to your own death you will never came close to her fabulous art She has the most magnificent voice and all envy in the world cannot change this She is the best soprano in decades. Her acting is recognized as outstanding. So shut up Who cares about your sick nitpicking of her performances? You all look retarded and ridiculous and Anna is doing better and better

  • If you paid better attention to what I write, you'll see that I don't hate Anna and I'm not jealous. I never wanted to sing opera. Ana has great technique & she's a gorgeous woman. But she herself has admitted to being a Sutherland fan - which is why, like Joan, she cares only for technique. A greater opera singer combines both technique & passion, acting, living the role. If Netrebko were a better actress, I'd be a fan of her. She can't act. She just sings great.

  • For god's sake stop your whining and shut up.

  • @09avenger I don't get the problem with Anna either! SHEESH! Does everybody else not hear that glorious sound she CONSISTENTLY produces, which by itself sets itself apart from most sopranos. Sure she is beautiful, but I doubt that the greatest conductors in the world wouldn't agree to work with a soprano just because she is pretty. Also, people complain her tone is too dark? Seriously, do they not realize she's Russian? The russian vocal school darkens the voice much more than the italian, etc.

  • @09avenger the fact that Anna is a good soprano can be proved by her singing in great opera houses. But to say that she is the best in decades is exagerated. If you like her fine, but please allow other people to build and express their own opinion. You don´t have to insult those who criticize her. She is surely far from being the best opera singer.

  • @Saudave

    this is not only my opinion. Read the press, in particular Washington Post where Anna was regarded as the voice of the decade. English Time magazine nominated Anna as soprano number one a few years ago. Last year she has received a musician of the year award from American classical music community. So, before you state you uneducated and unintelligent opinion, find out what important musical communities think of Netrebko. If you cannot appreciate her - go away and shut up.

  • @09avenger please read my posting. I have not insulted you. So I awaite for you the same attitude... You really did not need to insulte me. Washington Post or Wathever ist the expression of men´s opinions and I don´t want to go along with them...

  • @Saudave - what 'men´s opinions' ? Are you retarded???

  • Comment removed

  • Striker9410 is still a CUNT LICKER WHORE.

  • I applaud Ms. Netrebko's effort. The voice is beautiful: full and rounded and clearly rooted in the Bel Canto technique. As well, she is a downright lovely woman who is physically a wonderful fit for the role of Violetta. However, while her voice is beautiful, I would have liked for her to lighten up a bit. The aria is about being light and carefree but her voice sounded too... Dramatic. Yes the combination made Callas' version famous, but this rendition lacks the euphoria Violetta sings of.

  • La Callas era una gran actriz, pero no tenia un lindo timbre es mas tenia 3 registros bien marcados, la Netrebko tiene un timbre muchisimo mas bello, pero la Callas goza de sus seguidores.

  • Well, consider that lo que tenia Maria Callas de superior y unico es EL TIMBRO:

    But you were kidding, yes...

  • Ho sentito Violette molto migliori (un nome solo: Maria Callas...)

    In più la sua arte scenica lascia molto a desiderare: vaga sul palcoscenico come un'ubriaca...

  • This is so rounded and deep compared with the brittle and sharper Salzburg version. This indicates the artistry of Miss Netrebko, her adaption to the form of the production; she does not just sing (and act) Violletta, she sings the Violletta of the production she is in. She is growing beyond mere greatness.

  • por ese peinado y ese traje me da la impresion a primera vista de que fuera una virginal niña que recien se esta descarriando... ni parece que hubiera tenido un pasado bohemio y loco.

    La Violeta de salsburgo es la mejor que he visto en todas, se nota que le gusta el placer y la buena vida.
