  • Don't forget guys; she didn't always sing like this. This woman was an amazing Fiordiligi once upon a time. That voice has travelled a long way over the past 30 years. Show some respect

  • the face and the hands at the end are priceless!!!! "Well, whatever, you liked it, thats what matters, I just hope there are no real singers in the audience or people who really know!"

    Anyway, I still love her lower notes!!!!

  • At the end, her facial expression is priceless - she knows it's not so great, but the public loves it anyway. I first saw Marton as the Empress on stage with Nilsson. She blew the great Birgit away. I've never heard a volcanic sound like that. But as the years went on, her technique was loud, louder, loudest - it wasn't artistic anymore. But she always gave 100%.

  • @marlyharris A+ is right. Thrilling interpretation.

  • @Pywacket2 sorry, I over reacted, every opinion is valid , sorry again !!

  • @simisimi9 No disrespect. Marton's performance is effortless. Callas, to my mind, agonized too much. It wasn't really a criticism as I did and do admire the early Callas.

  • @Pywacket2 SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR THE ONE AND ONLY SINGER THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN...LA DIVINA MARIA CALLAS OR ELSE...YOU SING AND SHOW US THE RECORDING !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wait a minute. Marton was born in 1943 and this aria was sung in 1988, making her 45. That is hardly old age for a soprano. It's not her fach but she did a great job on an enormously demanding aria. Some of us who are real singers and classically-trained musicians don't nit pick every note a singer produces but look for the emotional and musical content as well. I give her an A+.

  • You are being tremendously unfair! She is a star in the sky of OPERA, she was one of the best! This is a singer at the end of her career, and she still delivers better than many young so called promising talents, who think they're already divas when not in their wildest dreams would have this kind of reaction from the audience! Give her some credit!

  • even if she screwed up and you can tell from her face she just wants to get out fo there, she still did her best to deliver the goods as well as she could. a true pro

  • Some of you are unfairly hard on her. It's not at all bad! This is a mature soprano singing a very, very difficult mezzo-soprano aria in a live performance. She got through it with dignity even if it isn't her repertoire. Give her a break!

  • Someone explain me a thing: if she is so bad, why is the audience so enthusiastic about?
