[Lohengrin]

omg and again omg! Wake up man, heavy donizzeti was written for singers with perfectly built middle voices not canary birds with atrophic middles. You are so naive as to believe that 5 notes up there and some trills are all that is necessairy to sing the 3 Queens? Voices like Dessay's singing the 3 Queens is the reason why Donizzeti has been considered trashy composer for so many years now Your beloved canary birds have totally molested his music Free yourself from the stacatti stupidity!

Pues a mi me encantan esos graves de pecho, me parecen muy dramáticos y con un efecto increíble. Los agudos me suenan perfectamente, nada estridentes...y me gusta muchísimo en toda la escena...Me hubiera gustado un agudo al final, pero por lo demás....genial

[Giupeppeism]

come sempre quando canta non si capisce l'80% del libretto. la voce è sempre bella ma non ha lo spessore vocale per interpretare un grande ruolo come Elisabetta I. di gran lunga migliore è la Kabaivanska che ha reso maggior spessore alla grande Regina. ma l'unica Grande Elisabetta I, resterà insuperabile, è la Grande Leyla Gencer!!!

Que majestad y que humanidad en uno. ADORABLE.

Impecable voz y apariencia escénica maravillosa...

[SymphonyBrahms]

Sills is my favorite in this role. But Caballe sings it brilliantly! As she does everything. Caballe is wonderful.

Let's hope for Devia.

@sevoflurane Absolutely True, or at least the whole final scene, not just E Sara and Vivi Ingrato...

[sevoflurane]

It is a crime that she never recorded this opera!!!

[jerrya1979]

@Lohengrin I must agree. The light voices are great on a recording, but if you watch this back to back with the sills version, you can see the difference clearly. Sure the sills final note really sets the piece off, but this is fullfilling to the listener from the first "sangue," to the end.

[DiomedesDioscuro]

Regretteably, anything is possible, mainly since Dessay recorded Musetta and declared that Violetta was not as difficult as she thought...

This is the real thing. La GRANDIOSA C A B A L L E . I remember when we did this together in Belgium

[Drelnis]

@coloraturafan I definitely think Renee should have a hit (maybe previously, not at this age, though it'd still be great) at one of the queens. Dessay I think can still pull off either Bolena or Stuarda, I'd personally prefer Stuarda, but Bolena would be great as well (can totally imagine Dessay's Coppia). I don't think Dessay would want to sing Roberto Devereux because of the size of the role. But of course, if she can do all 3 and in the same season it'd be the greatest thing ever :D
