  • This is very interesting... I'm so accustomed to those "Mon coeur s'ouvre à ta voix" that ooze conspicuous sexuality that it takes a minute to get used to this sharper version. Baltsa looks conflicted by her plight here, which is much more likely how Dalila would have felt if there were ANY love in her for Sampson.

  • What a pleasure to hear such smart artists!

    Baltsa, being a mezzo-falcon as opposed to a real alto, has an edge to her voice.

    Appropriately she turned that to her complete advantage by acting an edgy and eager Dalila rather than a laid back one...

    Domingo, at home with the role and a partner with such insight, gives his absolute best!

    Baltsa is very much a mezzo, but yes, absolutely fabulous, one of the top singers of the last 50 years. tears

  • Very perceptive comment, and I confess to never having seen the matter from that angle. Of course, in the Bible Dalila is a Philistine agent so the whole thing may simply be an early version of the KGB "honeytrap". But she MAY have had real feelings and conflicts...

  • What a mysterious woman... What an artist!

  • @bobsoperaBaltsa is a mezzosoprano.

  • Domingo and Baltsa...on this interpretation ...I AM SPECHLESS....

  • I agree Baltsa is the consumate actress; I saw her in 1983 at Covent Garden as Carmen: but does she really have the voluptuous quality of voice needed for Delilah.........listen to Resnik or Borodina......just a personal preference

  • she stills sings! she's singin in the 2010 season of Zurich Opera House

  • Charming!

  • Oh! I love me some Agnes Baltsa!!! And Mr. Domingo, of course!
