Today I saw this opera live from the Met. I think what Anna has lost in curves, she has gained with advantage, in acting talent and a beautiful, soft, sweet and powerful voice. Today there are a plethora of good sopranos, but after what I saw today, I have no doubt that Anna is the diva of the early twenty-first century as they were in the past Nely Melba, Rosa Ponselle and Maria Callas.

@jfsanin

her face remains a Masterpiece of Beauty - she is indeed incredibly talented

Incredible! So deep and subtle, I feel drawn into the music.

@jamm6274

exactly she manages to awaken the Music of Donizetti - this happens so rarely in Donizetti (most difficult composer to interpret)

non pochi i problemucci di intonazione.....!!!

Mamma mia è splendida!!tecnicamente,vocalm­ente, e scenicamente!!Per me merita di diventare ancora più grande della Callas..Migliore oserei dire!Grandissima!!!

@Ariadne7710 you have a troll score:))

[Serinia4melodic]

@phortion She simplifies many of her roles... but of course she studies with the score..:P I never really met a singer that doesn`t.

[Ariadne7710]

@phortion Let me know when you get to sing at the Met and I will come to hear how well you do. As for being lazy do you really think she would get this far if she was really lazy? In your opinion those who hire her to sing at La Scala, Salzburg, the Met, Covent Garden or the Vienna Opera are all wrong to hire her and you are right.!!!! Let us see how well you do since you are such an expert!!

@phortion I agree with you to a point, but I believe that Anna, has improved her musicality, and I think she starts with overall a better voice than Fleming..( I know I am speaking heresy).. but.. its true.. Fleming does do everything you say she does and Anna... Did ( past tense) a lot of them, and yes it was horribly unmusical and distracting.. All in all, I love the Russian lady's voice.. and Fleming, while remarkable as a Mozartian, or inself centered French roles.

@phortion

Actually, I got the score right here on my screen and I call bullshit on you :)

She is singing considerably close to the score...

Closer than Sutherland, Gruberova, Sills and Caballe for sure.
