  • I mean, the soprano's voice is nice, but her acting is mediocre. I love Hvorostovky in the version with Renee Fleming, but he seems rather stiff in this performance. Maybe it's because there is no chemistry between them. If you're looking for the most beautiful rendition of this scene ever, look at the Fleming/ Hvorostovsky one.

  • They don't have to "give" Dmitri white hair. It's his natural color, or lack of color. It should have been tinted at least for the HD Transmission. Playing a 23-26 year-old with white hair was ridiculous. Even so, the final scene (Dmitri/Renee) is the greatest thing I have ever seen in opera.

  • @slowpokecat Unfortunately, I met only CD in Internet, not DVD.

  • i always love that ending

  • thank you for the video. this video is more dramatic with the female singer running around the room.

    the one with fleming and this video have pasion but different in their own unique way.

    take into account that dimitri right now is at is artistic peek. he is very young in this video. he is very talented and handsome.

  • - 10 !!!! VERGOGNA !!!!!

  • Renee appears too old for the role of the young and lithe Tatiana. In fact, it was necessary to give Hvorostovsky white hair opposite Renee so he would appear less like her contemporary which Onegin is not vis-a-vis Tatiana.

  • Focile is an excellent soprano who acts a little. The high B was gorgeous. But she has nothing remotely like the Oneness of singing and acting that Renee has. Dmitri can't do it alone. It takes two.

  • I think chemistry can be seen in this performance, and Dmitri's acting is anything but stiff: full of youngish grace and love. fleming is an awful actress, so this version is a bit better. the other version is nicer, because dmitri did it with more artistic pressure... so i think both performance have good sides.

  • Galina and Mazurok are certainly awesome, different from this version, loved it thou.

    Thanks.

    Am entralled saying that sometimes famous ARE great.
