Wow! This is shot from the orchestra pit? :D

[quasthoff61]

@Drelnis I was in the first row, the first seat of the left side of the theatre.

[Drelnis]

@quasthoff61 Hmm, does this mean front row at the Met has an obstructed view of the musician's lamp? :(

[quasthoff61]

@Drelnis No, consider that I can't made the video from my point of view, at my eye level, I had to made taking the camera at my chest level.

I'm looking forward to hearing Garanca as Charlotte in "Werther"--next week at the Wiener Staatsoper!

[quasthoff61]

By the way, I attend to a recital of Magdalena Kozena in New York and I have a song of Purcell that I'm going to upload in this days. Enjoy Werther!

Saw this live and it was unbelievable

[luvxl]

can't compare for they are SO different...

I think Didonato and Bartoli sing the same coloratura way (so you can compare them)

Elina's voice is very special and gives a different emotion, much more discreet, but so touching in my opinion!

How could be possible don't love Elina Garanca?

[scargo1013]

This is one the best moments ever -- she is amazing, the voice, the range, the looks -- she's got it all. She is one the greatest singers (already) of our era.

For that small nation as Latvia, we all are very happy when our compatriots with their work achive world recognition and love. It makes proud. Imagine even at repeated MET Opera transmissions despite that it's a video only, people in Riga use to applaud!

Mēs lepojamies! Un mīlam Elīnu :)
