MGHall07 said:

What I find fascinating about this video (other than the inherent genius at hand) is that, looking to the column of other videos on the right, I see a live clip of Callas singing Eboli. It truly says something when a singer can take on two divergent roles in the same opera and make them come ali...

@2010wieliczka I'm not saying that countertenors are like sopranos. I was just pointing out that it does not require drugs for a man to sing in a higher register. As I wrote, it is nothing like being a true soprano or a boy soprano. I'm confused what the disagreement is. Either way, Cencic ha...

  @coloraturafan Sorry to read about the rough time you're having. Your work with music has brought joy to many in their moments of sadness, and such selflessness is not deserving of personal tumult or the infliction of pain. I hope you continue to find comfort in the music. <3 from one Cinci op...

Anna Netrebko sings Anna Bolena "Coppia Iniqua" - 2011

Anna Netrebko sings the final cabaletta "Coppia iniqua" from Anna Bolena by Donizetti on her role debut (April 2, 2011). My recording has a little ...

@Donizettimaniac I think it's a little unfair to criticize Netrebko for her sex appeal when the stage director and costume designer are responsible for most of the decisions.

  MGHall07 said:

  @Cuteo05 I think saying Dessay's career "is over" is a little dramatic.

  One has to consider that Dessay has been singing the high coloratura repertoire for more than 20 years, and the voice is bound to change with age and use. It is true that some of the coloratura and top notes in this performa...

How does Netrebko stack up as Anna Bolena?

This is not intended to be a mean post. But here are 10 great singers in the roles final cabaletta coppia iniqua.

I'm not particularly fond of the staging of the Netrebko's "Bolena," but that, in no way, detracts from her accomplishment as a singer. I quite liked her singing; would love to hear more.

  I love how magnificent Marilyn's voice was. Her voice was like a rock, from top to bottom, for decades, and even this late in her career it's all there still - and better still for the experience.
