  • She is one of the only true spinto sopranos of our times. I just hope she doesn't get burned out for singing roles like Elisabetta too much too early. She has plenty of time for all the great roles. For now I only want to hear her exquisite dark voice in a Desdemona, Alice Ford or Amelia in Simon Boccanegra. :-)

  • Totally gorgeous. Thanks for posting it. Her intrepretation is so beatifully paced, so nuanced, so deeply felt. Glad to see new singers that can sing Verdi so well.

  • Bravo!

  • Sometimes she sounds awful (La Traviata), but here she is exquisite! I think she should get more dramatic roles.

  • She is excellent as Desdemona. Previously, the measure of all things in this role ever Dame Margaret Price. She no longer alive. But since I've heard and seen no one who has just touched me. This young singer should really be done very carefully and with much more calm. Otherwise it would be a shame to make a truly precious voice.

  • Such an incredible talent.  I am very happy to say that I have had the pleasure of meeting this lovely lady.

  • I think this is the MOST poignant and beautiful Ave Maria I have ever seen or heard, rivaling that of Mirella Freni (my favorite Desdemona to date) even! I was moved to tears! Bravissima!

  • woah! 

  • Poplavskaya is what we have been waiting for. Now I look forward to going to the opera whenever she is singing. I, too, hope that she remains wise and careful and is not tempted to sing roles that will damage the wonderful voice that she has. I do hope that I will live long enough to hear her in "Eugene Onegin."

  • She is so perfect.... looks, voice... interpretation..... acting..... I want to see simply EVERYTHING she does, now.

  • oh wow. so touching! i love how simple, and yet so honest and moving she is.
