  • Cheryl has always had a wonderful voice with incredible flexibility.  I hear others create the note, where Cheryl owns it.

  • I agree naters81. The ultra-powerful score (up to F6, 4 times!) and lyrics ("The hellish revenge burns in my heart! Death and destitution to the traitor I hate! Strike him with this deadly weapon! Or you are not my daughter! never more and forever! Go away, ungrateful! Ungrateful! Everything is broken between us until he gives back his villain soul!") prove that this has been designed from start for a dramatic coloratura - as everyone knows.

  • I love how this orchestra really is "feeling" the notes and dont rush it. The part between 1:32 - 1:37 really is so beutiful an powerful, simple notes that turn to magic when performed in the right tempo!

  • my grandma knows her!!!!!!

  • What a consummate artist! perfection.

  • @Heraopera Harteros is scheduled to sing in San Diego next season. I haven't heard her live since 2005. I'm looking forward to it and dreading it at the same time. I fear that her lovely voice may have been damaged because of the heavier roles that she has been singing for the last few years.

  • Que s'est-il passé pour elle? Ce talent fou et une carrière trop météorique. Chante-t-elle encore.

    Les quelques où je l'ai entendue en scène je l'ai trouvée formidable, engagée. Et la dernière fois, hélas, récital à Gaveau, devant une salle à moitié vide.... Dove sono....

  • @Heraopera I'm much afraid that Harteros will damage her voice, also. When I heard her as Violetta in Traviata in San Diego in2004, I thought she was the finest new sopranos I had ever heard. Since then she has been singing much heavier Verdi roles and even a Wagner or two. She will return to San Diego next year as the Marschallin in Rosenkavalier. I'm anticipating and dreading her performance at the same tie. I fear I'm going to hear a damaged voice.

  • Il y a des moments où il faut juste se taire et laisser faire les anges.

  • Simply amazing!

  • This is beautiful legato. It is great to listen to her in something other than Wagner. Clearly, she has immense versatility.
