  • Mirella's rockin that 60's/70's hair in this scene! She sings beautifully and her Violetta is terrific. I don't feel she had agile coloratura. For me she's a lyric soprano with a dramatic heavier tone. Her high notes were solid and outstanding. She was impressive as Micaela, Madame Butterfly, Juliet & Marguerite, even Tosca. A great opera singer

  • @DavidoffGustav You mean the Karajan/Pavarotti studio recording? You are so right about Butterfly's entrance, Freni is simply divine!!

  • @AmericanEvita I love how she does it too, I also like how Rennee Fleming does it

  • @silvr94 Yes, could be.. but it is tradition to play (or sing) the first top note forte and the second, lower note, piano. Not only in this, but in most works.

  • for me it is her full voice floating high notes no one can duplicate that .. check out her butterfly recording when she was younger.. on the entrance of butterfly it is almost as if it is an instrument at first before you realize it is a voice.. wow

  • it's not in my score. the last note is a normal quarter note. i think the abridged ending of the last note is a dramatic effect expressed through a vocal manner.

  • Like it should, becuase it is an apogiatura. No singer seems to realize that. Callas, Scotto, Sills did.

  • Ooh, and I love the way her voice just dies away instead of actually completing the note!

  • Musically, her death gives me chills, every time. Mirella Freni is one of my favorite sopranos by a mile, but I think Moffo might have beat her by a hair for best Violetta. No one has anything on Mirella's Mimi, though! This scene made me cry when my opera company did it...

  • bravissima e` la prima che vedo la Traviata con lei
