I love this!

@pointreyes6 Thanks!

And just like in opera, they say the same amount of stuff, but take twice as long to do it.

love you guys! This rocks

@Smileandwavelol @MichaelaRingnecks Ponnelle is a famous (among opera crowds) opera director who has done a few opera-on-film films, he did this. O Fortuna is a song (given new music by Carl Orff in 1937) from a medieval manuscript, called Carmina Burana, and is meant to be performed with the oth...

Which production is this? I'm digging on it.

Is this at La Scala?

he's a footballer (I think from their national team, but now that that I'm looking for it I can't confirm that) I who they asked to be in it. I don't remember his name off the top of my head though.

Epic Seglinda!

second potato

Really really stunning. just phenomenal...

@lexxtacy678 well that's what you get for watching that show.

Barenboim is just incredible. No one does Wagner like him.

absolutely stunning...... There are few people in the history of western culture as important as Maria Callas. I fully believe history will show her to be as memorable as Rembrant, if not more so.

Wonderful, such fire. wowwowowowowowow!!!!

@disneylandman66 You're right, beguiled is a better word. It was an etherial moment, one I'll never forget.

@KrystalUMKC And by compairing and contrasting two or more singers (see user @coloraturafan contest series where he puts up 15 different versions of an aria to compare) one does better understand and therefore enjoy the music even more!

@NEBESHIKU While I'm not a Trebs fan, and it would be safe to say I am her anti-fan, there's no reason to go to ugly sexist remarks such as "whore". There are plenty of humanizing attributes such as her personality and "talent" to rip on without also throwing needless sexism into the mix.

@flutist4440 That's what musicians do, and when you're actually working on it it's a lot easier than it would seem. But in this case she did have the music on a stand in front of her.

@IshyIMB017 Well it's in a movie so who knows what the director had in mind a when it was being sung, and I'm sure it was what she wanted, but in most opera houses this wouldn't fly. Not because of the pitch, but she's pretty sloppy with her diction and how she releases her notes, but it's really...

@Orfeus80 and given how superhumanly good it is, that says a lot about her.

Thank you for leaving the orchestral part at the end, some of my favorite parts of G are in these orchestral parts. They are really integral in understanding the previous scene. Also beautiful music

@fontenayperi I know!!! We do have the act 2 video from Tosca from a concert she gave (where part of the concert was all of Tosca act 2) but what a shame we don't have more

@OperaMystery80 SempL is an aria with a lot of tension, like a smoker trying to convince herself that she doesn't actually want that cigarette, the words are calm, but she is anything but. With the exception of Callas and Zeani, other slower versions of this aria seem to have a harder time creati...

I'm very much not a Garanca fan, but she's very intelligent and personable in interview, I'm glad.

Kandinsky!

I really like the way she ended this. Very original, and very effective.

She is EPIC!

damn, ran out of steam there about two minutes before the end.

Also, I know I didn't see the production, but what's with the flaming shelves?

This is freaking me out a little... this isn't the Colbert I know.

I was introduced to Matti Salminen as Hagen in Gottedammerung - terrifying and huge. So sensitive here, touching with ease, I love this. What a versatile singer. Bravo!

@morgansfire especially because it's only monday.
