Great to hear Netrbko in a role that suits her fach. She sounds great!!!!!!!! Please no more Lucia or Elvira :)

@MusicVocalism I never disagreed with you about the role being written for a full lyric soprano. After listening to it again, I like Netrebko's voice on this aria. I do however disagree with you about Swenson's voice not being as rich as Netrebko's. Ruth's voice is just as full and rich, but it's lighter. A light and heavy voice can be equal in richness.

@Spanglefeather fach is German for "feild" or more specifically what roles you would specialize in (field of expertise). Within the category of soprano the fachs are coloratura, soubrette, dramatic...well, it's a long list.

@PhantomoftheOperaOG what musical are you all talking about? I can't trace the thread back to find out.

[PhantomoftheOperaOG]

@DammitWindy It was! They borrowed the tune for the musical

@Operaphile I totally agree... please... do Puccini or something, or shallow frivolous street trash like Offenbach.

@flowersings That is true I love Ruth :)

@MusicVocalism Swenson's voice is too light for the role, but her voice is rich enough.

[flowersings]

@MusicVocalism Okay, I didn't know that. While Ruth's voice may be light, it is just as rich and thick with colour as Netrebko's. Netrebko is heavier, that's all. Both have big voices.
