  • @SsteinwayS you need to look at the videos from five years ago -- and see Nebs in the RED dress -

  • I really can't bring myself to enjoy Poplavskaya's sound... I find it so ugly and over-laboured...

  • She's singing the notes right, but the issue is she needs to do it louder!

  • I hope Natalie Dessay is better then this, otherwise I'm out of the theater in 2 seconds!

  • im really started to be less and less impressed by the met! i mean there meant to be so esteemed and show the rest of the world how opera is done! then they bring out this modern shit! urrghh

  • She has a gorgeous voice but she doesn't sing properly, i believe. It's not technically worked out. It's a shame because it's a loss of a potentially great voice and her expression seems sincere and vulnerable. I really want to like her. I hope that her agent reads this and sends her to the best technician to develop that voice properly.

  • do not like this at all

  • She can't hold a note for more than a few seconds, constantly breaks the melody to breathe, and her voice is too dark for Violetta. She was great in Don Carlo, though.

  • Marina sounds ? Can't even explain don't enjoy it at all I walked out of this performance....

  • DON?T LIKE HER VOICE... so....plain and forced. prefer salzbur 2005. anaaa i love you.

  • Salzburg 2005. Netrebko, Villazon, Hampson. Diese drei Künstler überzeugen mehr in dieser Inszenierung.

  • Oh who cares about the production! Her voice is just plain offenseive! What a low rate singer! She must be working for free! Get some class! She could learn a thing or two about class and singing from Renee Fleming!
