Villazon, listen and learn!

Good french accent. Awesome singer.

Tres jolie - magnifique one could say - just the music and the voice in sync - he admiringly retains the ring in one of the most difficult airias in the tenor rep. - bravo bravissimo bravo!

Here is one of the finest and most unassuming lyric tenors in the opera world today! I love the wonderful legato line he achieves along with his excellent breath control and so very expressive interpretation. I think he is one of the finest exponents of the French repertoire today and yes ..... Villazon doesn't have a patch on him when it comes to interpretive expression. Bravo!

I am loving Vargas for this. He has artistic integrity, something sorely lacking in the industry right now. Many thumbs up!

@picapin Villazon is not learning, he's too busy counting the money before his voice goes altogether. I know that sounds bad, but it isn't entirely his fault. The industry is only interested in exploiting those who are also willing to exploit their voices and bodies, regardless of artistic standards.

I doubt if this traditional production from Teatro Real, with its atmospheric staging and excellent cast, will ever be surpassed anytime soon, even with RV in the title role.Having in mind the continuing decline in the quality of opera productions and the vanishing breed of singers who unselfishly surrender their gifts to the service and enhancement of their art, it will be a great loss to today's and future generations of opera lovers if this Werther is not made available to the general public.

La voz de Vargas se ajusta más a este tipo de obras que la de Villazón, pero eso no desmerece a Rolando, sólo le indica que debe escoger mejor que obras van bien a su voz ahora mismo.

La voz de Vargas es de una belleza y de una pureza que...!!!!

(Pero no es tan buen actor)

About the french, I believe that what gives you the impression of a worse pronouce by Alagna - a frenchman himself - is that in opera, it's common to use what we could call a 'refined' french, let's say, with the "r"s pronounced like in italian and the vowels more closed, specially the "é", that sounds almost like "i" (or "ee" in English). Alagna sings in his mother language, then he's more likely to use everyday vowels and ordinary french pronounce, specially with the "r"s.
