[Feuille1512]

Adorable ! Finally, the taboo is broken : she is sensual, sexual, pulpy, alive and in love (her body too...) and so scamp.

Her voice is pure, deep and brilliant.

Wonderful ! RARE !

[hwhap13]

ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER!

[80Mrmirko]

Interpreta sempre con questi sospiri un po drammatici che qui appesantiscono una partitura e una linea melodica pensati ad un estasi leggera e quasi estatica, ultraterrena. Questo cantare caro nome a denti stretti la priva dell'angelicità che forse non ha

[dangelog3]

Maravilhosa. perfeita

[JaimieAppleton]

@rossifigaro That's not his underwear, that's his hat! If you look at their duet you will see that he throws it off.

Gilda e una ragazza giovane,vergine(almeno nello spartito di Maestro Verdi e così)...

Verdi e un compositore italiano,non?E la lingua italiana questa?

Buon ascolto Signore e Signori,ah nel finale non aspettate di sentire gli acuti,sono inesistenti.

Il tempo e fantastico,il resto e orrendo.

Buon ascolto e viva Verdi!

@roykogan i went to the performance on 4/30 (not sure if you attended the same one). filianoti could easily have ruined the whole thing--he cracked twice during la donna e mobile. thank goodness for diana.

@roykogan Credit must be paid also to the brilliant Fabio Luisi, who conducted both the Dresden clip here & the performance tonight at the Met (where he had a better orchestra, surely). Were there even other musicians in attendance, besides Luisi & Damrau? Rigoletto was good, the Duke horrifying. A sad day for mediocrity, but who cared? Give us a little sublimity, Peter Gelb, and we'll forgive a lot. Thank you, for Maestro Luisi. And thank you, maestro, for gracing our town.

Newsflash--Damrau wove magic at the Met Opera tonight, spun gold, took grip of the audience & had 'em on their feet, at the conclusion of this aria. I haven't witnessed such a burst of applause in a long time, which went on & on, even though she was offstage by aria's end. I've loved this singer for a long time, seen her many times at the Met, even heard her sing Gilda before. But I have never heard her like this! Absolutely at the top of her game. Utterly breathtaking. Thank you Diana. 

[jcroatto]

She is a singer AND an actress!! She is complete!

[Babs22h]

i love how you can hear the excitement of love in her voice! fantastic!

[rossifigaro]

how bizarre! - is that JDF's underwear she picks up/fondles/sniffs??!!

yes she does have a beautiful voice and does a very credible job here but i've heard voices more suitable/impressive in this aria.

would be interested in knowing who directed/set-designed this production.
