Charming performance of Semiramide, by Gioachino Rossini.

The present aria is one of the most difficult ones to sing by a coloratura soprano in the bel canto repertoire.

Metropolitan Opera, New York

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • She is absolutely perfect for this role. Perfect timbre, perfect technique. Her voice has that clear silvery sheen and crystalline purity without the awful canary quality to it. And both her diction and phrasing are wonderful. All coloratura sopranos try to sing this show stopping aria but hardly any of them do it justice. And her additional embellishments fit beautifully into the Rossini lines, and her top notes are miraculously melodious. I am sure Rossini himself would have been impressed.

  • This is amazing - the absolute best rendition of this aria I've heard. Brava June!

  • Fantastic! June Anderson was truly magnificent in the Rossini repertoir. :D

  • DAMNNNNNN those high notes are GREAT ! Wonderful singing !

  • 1990 not 91

  • Lei e' bravissima!!

  • june anderson is so beautiful here

  • June Anderson es una espectacular Semiramide. Tiene todo el glamour de una prima donna de primer relieve para este dificilisimo rol donde la coloratura vocal y las ornamentaciones propias del estilo rossiniano ponen los pelos de punta hasta el más sordo del mundo. Su presencia escénica también es encantadora y llena de mucho lirismo y sentido dramático al mismo tiempo. Sin duda es una de las pocas sopranos que han logrado cautivar con esta bellisima aria del arte rossiniano.

  • not my favorite rendition, but my favorite interpretation. Semiramide is in love. she's supposed to sound HAPPY! most singers sing this piece in such a serious, formal manner, like it's a march or a declaration of war.

  • truly outstanding singing what an artist
