[MisterSoprano]

Edita Gruberova is from Slovakia, but her fans come from lots of countries, not just Slovakia (Germany, Japan, Austria, Switzerland, Italy,...).

Please, do respect other people taste. I understand you don't like her,her acting, her singing... - like I dont at all like Sutherland f.e., but it does not mean she's not a good singer (I admit Sutherland was good, even great sometimes, but I don't like her). So, please, enjoy singers you like and let us enjoy the one we like.

Mature, refined and expressive artistry. Should be an inspiration for younger artists!

ELIZABETTA Quel sangue versato al cielo s'innalza... Giustizia domanda, reclama vendetta... Già l'angiol di morte fremente v'incalza... Supplizio inaudito entrambi vi aspetta... Sì vil tradimento, delitto sì rio clemenza non merta, non merta pietà... Nell'ultimo istante volgetevi a Dio; ei forse perdono conceder potrà,ecc. ALL Ah! ti calma, rammenta le cure del soglio: chi regna, lo sai, non vive per sé. ELIZABETTA Tacete! Non regno, non vivo... Uscite! ALL Regina!

[LaBartoliLover]

ELIZABETTA Tacete! Mirate! Quel palco di sangue rosseggia; e tutto di sangue quel serto bagnato. Un orrido spettro percorre la reggia tenendo nel pugno il capo troncato. Di gemiti e grida il cielo rimbomba. Pallente del giorno la luce si fe. Ov'era il mio trono s'innalza una tomba, in quella discendo, fu schiusa per me. ALL Ti calma, ti calma, Regina, deh! Chi regna, lo sai, no, non vive per se. ELIZABETTA In quella discendo, fu schiusa per me,ecc.. Partite... Io voglio Dell

Why the ones who do not like the Gruberova spend only one second of their time to listen to her? They should listen only to the singers they like and stop loosing their time to write vile and ridiculous comments which do not certainly change the appreciation that the Gruberova's fans have for her.

Diego, perhaps you are coming to Munich to listen again to the Gruberova in Roberto Devereux next year in February.

@Diego Martinazzoli

I think that it was perhaps the stage director and not the Gruberova to choose this interpretation which she performed perfectly. She (the queen) is out of herself because of the shock and the sorrow and that's why she walks tottering and not because she is an "ubriacona" as I've read in one of some stupid comments.

But it seems that not all are able to understand that!

[SiegmundOpera]

Thanks for your reply. I totally agree with what you said. I must also say that I like both the Gruberova and the Sills in this role.They are different. B.Sills plays a queen deeply affected by the death of Robert Devereux, E. Gruberova plays a queen whose sorrow for his death made her mad.She renders this state of madness due to the shock she had in a superb way.

Is this a wrong interpretation of the opera? I don`t really know and therefore I ask you , Diego, if you know more in this regard.

I truly believe Edita owns this role. Brings me to tears of amazement and emotion...

[PilarPeruarena]

J'ai eu la chance de l'écouter au Théâtre des Champs Elysées et c'est tout simplement délirant d'émotion et de beauté. Une grande Dame de la lyrique que j'espère, nous aurons l'occasion d'écouter encore de nombreuses années !

@MisterSoprano I was a huge Sutherland fan but the more as I listen to Gruberova and Devia, the less I like Sutherland...

[matxs81]

[Rattywotin]
