Could you please say what are the pieces in the clip? Especially the last one :D

[SsteinwayS]

@nitchoteles The first two and last two clips are both from "Die Zauberflote" (The Magic Flute) by Mozart. :)

@2002obie I prefer Diana Damrau :)

@MrHbc3 @MrHbc3 Hehe...just kidding. But actually I think her presentation on the disc is much closer to her real interpretation, a noble but fragile, aggressive but graceful woman. In interviews for her debut Cleopatra in Paris, she said in the that production it's portraying her more as a "jeune fille" than a real Queen. But even so, yes she still goes through a phenomenal character kaleidoscope of emotions. I can't wait to see what her Met Cleopatra in around 2013 will be like...

c'est superbe

[MrHbc3]

@SsteinwayS Yes, but it seems to me that her leaping about, lying down, dancing, etc. all illustrate characteristics of the person she is representing. In Cleopatra's case "the person" is a young, spirited, emotionally volatile young woman without a lot of inhibitions. Brave, scared, proud of herself, despondent, enthusiastic, all that sort of thing including being very much enamored of her "victim" Caesar. I think Natalie takes very good care of her health, but 2911 IS a bit optimistic.

@MrHbc3 Agree! The things she does while singing is crazy...she's such a physical performer...leaping about, lying down, dancing, etc. What a musical athlete! btw if you made a typo...if she's still singing in 2911, let me know!! :P
