Bulgarian contralto Mariana Pentcheva as Ulrica in Verdi's Un Ballo in Maschera. Extraordinary performance! And a stunning low note at the end.

  • What a beautiful voice ... a wonderful contralto! I always loved that scene but I never heard someone singing it with such clear deep tones ... and as dramatic as it comes. I love it

  • This role seems to be made for Mariana. Great is Obratsova, but magnificent Pentcheva. No other.

  • Excellent!

    

  • Lindísima voz de alto!

  • Une très grande Ulrica. Quelle magnifique contralto!!! J'adore :o)

  • BRAVA...ARCHIBRAVA...DE LO MEJOR EN NUESTROS DIAS!!!

  • Bellissimo. Peccato che i sottotitoli in francese non rendano per nulla il significato vero di quello che la maga dice!!

  • Wonderful!!!!! i adore your voice.

  • her breasts, lifted as they are, are also of operaic presence

  • @jesuslue

    Well In my opinion your half right, because your do forget the one who is (for me) the best true contralto ever, I name the sing goddess Ewa Podles !!!!

    The interpretation of Pentcheva is truly awesome I agree with you, but believe me, Podles' version is memorable and make date in the history of the role.

    If you haven't go to see the video, for sure you'll love it !!!

  • @gabba02 You are so right about the last note man she hit's it perfectly and it's really deep note.

    Excellent, she classifies herself as a mezzo? She sounds very much more like a true contralto.
