She has a wonderful voice. Beautiful performance. Excellent, excellent, excellent.

This Romanian opera singer is definitely today's best!

[Llokky]

Fantastic! Lovely interpretation!

[helenaprice]

Just one thing: some singers do need microphones (or at the very least should use them) in certain "opera houses" as the venues were not built with the acoustics in mind. Therefore, if you're not sitting in the "right spot" the sound disperses and quickly gets lost (been there, very frustrating).

o voce exceptionala!

amazig colour in her voice very beautifull woman . she needs a some more in technique if she wants to be remembered

[alexliliryan]

@Delmasca The point is that she is not only a magnificent sopranos but she's also a beautyful woman. I know that Carmen is a gipsy because I read Guy De Maupassant's novel "Carmen" and also I just bought "La Traviata" blue-ray disc recorded at Scala di Milano and I was absolutely overwhelm by her beauty, acting and of course by her wonderful voice. This people in Valencia don't do a justice to her. I do like her very much and one day you might aprove my point! Thank you for challenging me.

@alexliliryan HOW IS THAT THE POINT?!

[CommodusSPQR]

Magnificent!!

@artavedissian She needs to go to a hairdresser! She looks like a slut,dirty and slizy girl. What a shame!

[alexliliryan]

May GOD protect her voice for as long as she lived Just as HE did to others opera singers.

@CyrilWashbrook and with Angela's voice there would be even less of a need for micropphones to amplify her voice

[CyrilWashbrook]

Just to be clear about the role of those microphones in front of her... they're recording, not amplifying. You don't need microphones in opera houses: they're constructed with the explicit purpose of carrying sound across a large chamber.
