Splendido!

It's hard to imagine that Devia is a modern star. She should be up there with Sutherland, Horne, & Pavarotti... she deserves in the "club" as much as they do. I also love the rossini clip at 6:00, i love how he reuses his melodies and coloratura.

why do you think she isn't as known as possible? Why hasn't she sung at the Met? I've talked to singers such as Max Emanuel Cencic who says that he refuses to sing in the USA anymore... I also feel as if she doesn't have the personality to sing in USA

[sour7lemon]

@sour7lemon ...But then again I wouldn't know! I just imagine that the Metropolitan singers have very outgoing, "fun" personalities, "NY" personalities if you will. I'm not sure if that makes sense or if even is applicable. what do you think?

That was very good, Ruth Welting is very much missed. You do give the best material, its always exciting putting your channel on. Thanks. J.K.

[coloraturafan]

I agree!

[sospello]

These are indeed moments worth returning to--always rewarding to hear what different artists pull out of a piece. Thank you!

[asdfopera]

These are nice Devia moments but I don't know about Welting and Serra because I've seen and head better from them. One thing about Podles in the Semiramide clip: her voice was was overpowered by the orchestra so she was mostly inaudible, but again, Devia sounds nice.

[coloraturafan]

There are probably better videos of Welting and Serra, and I have probably posted them here on youtube... However, this video is of my favorite opera moments... so it is not really a "best of" video. After posting more than 2000 videos, I thought I would put together a couple videos of my own personal favorites.

The Semiramide excerpt is smashing!

[cicilu74]
