Caro Nome - Rigoletto Contest - Iride Martinez

I think Caro Nome is an interesting aria. In the hands of a talented singer, this aria can take flight into more than just a coloratura showpiece. It can demonstrate Gildas happines and inter-turmoil. Again a score of 1-5 for singing/characterization:
Louise Russell - 1971
Margherita Rinaldi - 1969
Erica Sibillo - 1998
Iride Martinez - 2004
Gabriella Tucci - 1961
Andrea Rost - 1996
Faith Esham - 1988
Valerie Masterson - 1981
Natalie Jones - 2006
Christiane Eda-Pierre - 1981
Elena Mosuc - 2004
Elizabeth Futral - 1999
Maureen O'Flynn - 2003
Sumi Jo - 1994
Mariella Devia - 1994
Edita Gruberova - 1988
Mado Robin - 1956

Hope you enjoy!

Iride sos grande, una verdadera Diva, definitivamente tu escuela Alemana hizo su labor

[songbirdwatcher]

I love this singer! She is connected to every moment in the music (and inbetween). A simple, natural actress, while still being "operatic." The way she leans against the wall or smiles with her eyes, the moment she lets down her hair or holds up her arm. She transports you into Gilda's dreamy state of mind, on an empty stage! Her voice is just right: good size and technique, lovely tone, color and range, excellent phrasing. Martinez is a remarkable performer.

Voice 4.5/Character 5

Brava Iride, this is a real Gilda, beauty of sound, clear italian and high musicality....

absolutly 10.

Gracias por subir este video. Ella tiene una voz tan exquisita como la de Luciana Serra, la soprano de colatura. A ella deberían hacerle publicidad, no a la Netrebko que tiene una voz desastrosa a comparación de las grandes. Saludos!

es increible cómo puede haber tanto talento en una persona tan perversa... "la Maestra", ¡la vida sí que es contradictoria a veces!

Même pour Gilda c'est étriqué,pas assez libre et aéré.

I have seen this Rigoletto performance on TV several weeks ago, and i was very impressed by her, she had some incredibly beautiful moments, especially in the 1st act duet with the Duke, and in the final duet with Rigoletto. The stage design was very poor though, as often nowadays.
