Yay finally, thanks so much! I've been waiting for someone to post clips ever since I read it was on TV last week. It's very interesting to compare this version to this year's.

Is there any chance to see some more? Pleeease?

Muchas gracias, Teresa !

Ce bouleversant duo est interprété par les deux chanteurs/acteurs les plus extraordinaires que j'aie jamais entendus.

Quel cadeau !

I saw this production (with Alalgna as Carlo) last week live from the Met in a movie theater in my home town and it was just FANTASTIC, a pure beauty from the beggining to the last final note! Special mention to SIMON KEENLYSIDE and FERRUCIO FURLANETTO! And thanks to the Met that allows people from outside US to share those wonderful moments!

@paddarotti Me to! And I'm soprano!!!

:-D

@matthieusarah I have a DVD of this same production and Villazon seems in better voice on it than here and he and Keenlyside were absolutely STUNNING in Rodrigo's death scene, far more so than Alagna and Keenlyside at the MET (which I too saw at the cinema) as Alagna was far more stilted in his acting in that scene than Villazon, but the MET version was also stunning.

@matthieusarah

watch Villazon to see how this should be done.....thumbs downn to Alagna

[paddarotti]

When I die and go to heaven I get to sing this with Simon Keenlyside.

[operaforever123]

@JoshuaMazur This is even more obvious in the MET version of this with Alagna and Keenlyside. Poor Rodrigo, he throws such a hopeful look when Carlo sings "amo... d 'un colpevole amor"... and then, when he learns that it's Elisabetta that Carlo loves, he is so disappointed I pity him every time I watch the scene.

[JoshuaMazur]

They sing and act this as if Poza and Carlo were lovers.

Rolando Villazon the voice y love the most!
