Im really getting tired of non historical images being presented in the media. Like this for example... the Ancient Egyptians were an African group of people. The Romans and Greeks in movies are never protryed as African people. I wonder why there is a double standard.

no fue un buen dia para galouzine... aunque considero que esta area no siginifica un tropiexzo ya que a mi parecer le salio bastante bien sin contar el nifal que fue atropellado y opacado por una imperfeccion ,,, digamos quer tuvo un mal dia poero no por eso lo van a enterrar ,, es uno de los mejores tenores

@bigus What hogwash. For Pavarotti, this role was too heavy and he cracked a million times.

@bigus Very true Bigus. The aria shows just how far one is with their technique too. This aria is written in such a way that anything that is "extra" or "too much" is immediately heard. Verdi put in piano all over so the singer can concentrate on open throat ringing tone and a spun yawn to spin every single tone and trust it to be enough. The music is heroic without the need for "extra". Even if you are the "best" what the end requires is specific. Few of us have solved these problems.

@taythema You are confusing Sub-Saharan Africans (Blacks) with the Hamites (Egytptians) and Semites(Cartheginians) of Northern Africa. Egyptians left lots of records of who they were. They considered themselves the Red People. They represented the Numidians as Black people. The plot of Aida reflects this. Aida is a Black slave. If all the Egyptians were also Black - no drama.

In most movies the Romans are played by the British actors and Americans typically play Jews.

Saw his performing the same role yesterday. What can I say, I like his singing (and his costume) in this video better.((( By some freakish accident I even end up on the same picture with him.

My God some of you people are ridiculously critical! He sings the whole thing magnificently and then has a little blip on the last b flat which he sucessfully sings through. If I'd paid to see him I'd have been very happy to hear such a great voice sing so stylishly, and I am a tenor who has sung Aida many times myself and knows how difficult it is.

@bigus pav never quited this role

[aguacun]

crack... oh! dear... go to see any video of P.Domingo singing this aria and you will feel so stressed to see him struggling with the high notes. The crack on this man was just an accident, nervs... anyway I feel that nowdays he have a different place for his voice, I mean have more center, more body support. I like it.

@taythema I agree, every single opera house in the entire world should only hire an entire cast born and raised in Northern Africa with classical schooling of elite standard. Seriously, when was the last time you heard an Ethiopian tenor?

[RonaldBarone]

@bigus I do agree with you, but could those that pay lot money to watch him, will think like u and me? :-)
