Renata Tebaldi - Follie! Sempre libera - La Traviata - Verdi

Renata Tebaldi (Pesaro, Italy, February 1, 1922 San Marino, December 19, 2004). This is a true spinto soprano voice. The spinto voice is one that can open up to dramatic power while also being able to sing lyric roles. Traviata probably was not ideal for her voice because of the fioratura, but she sings it beautifully here nevertheless.

Brava Tebaldi. She is probably singing this at the pitch Verdi intended in 1853. Since then, in the desire for a brighter, louder sound, brass and wind instruments have been made differently. Orchestras have tuned ever higher, which in turn has forced modern singers to sing at least a semitone too high. Sadly this denies some richer voiced singers performing the role. Virginia Zeani is one of the few who could successfully combine the high pitch with a full voice.

That is exactly right. There is a great video on youtube if you search for "Cappuccilli Tuning" which shows the conference they had about it.

@Serinia4melodic Actually it doesn't take years if you have the right training. I have plenty of soprani who can do it in far less time. Completely full voice. E5 should not be a problem either.. I am glad you liked my videos of teaching. I hope you find what you need.

@MrCafiero it`s very hard and takes years to sustain a C6. A light little c6 or even falsetto can`t be used in opera singing and therefore cannot be considered part of the range or tessitura. because they don`t resonate properly. Actually most females cannot sustain beyond E5 in their first lesson... because of improper breathing. Or this is from personal experience:D they go backward with the sound. You are such a great teacher:D saw y videos. I still cant sustain beyond G5 after 1 y

@Serinia4melodic Voices need training which means that the instrument - all muscles involved (including breathing) - must be built first. They aural image of the right sound must be developed as well. Most sopranos reach C6 easily in their first lessons, but it is hard for them to sustain. Spinto tessitura is not different than lyric. Coloratura soprano tessitura is different and they need reliable Ebs.

@raphee13 C6.. it depends on breath support and training. and how the singer imagines the tone... most beginner sopranos even if they are lyric or coloratura don`t reach C6:D

Some can reach E6 but it`s not in their comfy range/tessitura. so they dont sing it often or at all.

That cackle at the 0:56 mark. Not ok.

FIERCE!!! I prefer her in Puccini, but she tears it up doing Verdi! There's verve, passion, and meaning in the sweep of her phrases... we don't see artistry like this anymore; everyone is so hung up on high notes that modern voices sound jailed by comparison.

I would never even understand what kind of Soprano is meant to sing this or that and frankly I don't give a Fach.....as justa simple opera adoring pleb....I love that I can hear Traviata sung by ten or more different Divas and hear as many different interpretations of that role............this to me sounded simply amazing
