Il dolce suono -Mariella Devia-Lucia di Lammermoor

[MrLupo23]

Fabbricini was the second cast. Is there no video of her?

[dougbalt]

I can see why other people like her now, but I will tell you why I still don't find her so appealing.  It's OK if you disagree. There's something about her tonal production that is off. To me, it sounds as if she's singing through her nose. The tone has a hard edge, but it's hollow, and there's little meat to it, although the size is larger than most coloraturas. Admittedly, this is the best clip I've heard of her particularly on Youtube. She does have some nice phrasing and pianissimi.

I think Mariella Devia has a extremely beautiful voice, and great talent. We were born the exact same day! She must have been close to the front of the line line for beauty of voice, and I was on the back half of the line of souls. Darn! :~)

[RaWrZzZz]

Good god, I love this woman. <3 DAMN MY MOTHER.

I always end up taking forever to finish watching an opera(I get them from Netflix, YAY!), because I prefer to do it in one sitting, but I'm always busy and end up having to stop and watch the rest later. MEANWHILE, She sends them back before I'm done D< TWO LUCIA'S SHE'S SENT BACK. TWO. D: I was up to the mad scene in this DVD and she shipped it off </3

[jmuslvr]

She is a very good actress. And an incredibly good singer. Brava!

[gustopheles]

I'm 45 seconds into this and I have to laugh. She's a horrible actor with a fantastic voice. But this isn't moving - her performance is silly. This is as painful as watching Dessay. I don't understand the Devia hype.

[taliesin0815]

@gustopheles Do it better then.

[gustopheles]

@taliesin0815 There are dozens of better actors than her in opera. Though, I wager you were trying to prove a point.

[nichtsleezy]

@gustopheles The hype is that her sound and technique are so perfect. One does not hear this sort of perfection live often. The hype is that she places beauty in sound before allowing the drama of acting to interfere with the beautiful singing. If you want more acting, don't listen to her channels.

[gustopheles]

Yokay, @nichtsleezy - calm the fuck down. I don't like Devia's acting - I think it's awful - and while she is gifted with a terrific voice, I don't like her singing. It is not 'perfect'. And because I know you disagree, I won't take you through why I think her sound is so wretched. I in turn could give a fuck why she's obviously your favourite. And I will most certainly continue to listen to her channels, because I am a hater, and I shall continue to hate.

[nichtsleezy]

@gustopheles OMG-you are such an angry and disillusioned person! After this comment I will not waste time with a person such as yourself who must resort to profanity when someone is in disagreement with your ludicrous ideas! Obviously, you hate her so much that you want to spend time watching her channels so that you can find fault with her artistry??? You are sick and have nothing else better to do in your life. You should seek psychiatric help-you need it!!!

[gustopheles]

@nichtsleezy Uh? Disillusioned? Thanks for the complement. It's something I'm working on with my therapist.

[gabriellevampyre]

que hermosa interpretacion! tiene mucha fuerza y mariella devia es excelente soprano!

[Teridax68]

Her voice is crystal clear, she plays Lucia perfectly.

The only thing that bugs me, though, is that every time I hear this I expect her to burst into a techno dance sequence...

[LuisCaicedo]

@Teridax68 LOL!!!!! hahahaha That's the spirit of the diva plavalaguna lurking this great song
