  • OMG!!!! She is my hero! I have heard several of the "great" sopranos sing this song and June is by far the best. BAR NONE!

  • lumpy: you won't get any argument from me on that! if you can't get enough, there are several other performance of this aria by june on youtube you should check out -- my personal favorites are the 1987 performance in Paris, and the 1990 New Years eve performance.

  • Fenomenale! che dire...

  • It's interesting to compare this to her 1990 clip with Mehta conducting. The voice had much more freshness and ping to it than in the present clip where you can hear a threadiness and tightness developing.

  • @jmuslvr Netrebko and Damrau are stars. Dessay is/was a talented actress and was a singer. Shame that her voice is screwed up. I had to say it because her artistic value is bigger than Damrau. Of course, none of them all gets it to Anderson's leg.

  • June Anderson and Mariella Devia are the two greatest sopranos singing today. But they aren't stars like Netrebko and Dessay. Opera has turned into a Hollywoodland where good looks are favored over talent. It's really sad.

  • Brilliant! I simply adore June Anderson!

  • Great Alfredo!

  • Who the hell did her hair. Anywayz she sing like a angel as always.

  • @liszt80 No, I think there was certainly some preparation there..possibly years of it.. ;)

  • She hits the high E flat without any preparation. What a courage!
