Edita sings Norina's aria "Quel guardo...So anch'io la virtù magica" in German with a lovely high Eb in the cadenza from a Vienna Staatsoper tour of Donizetti's Don Pasquale in 1977. I wonder what she was thinking about her stage director...a canary in a cage maybe but a parrot??

  • Ma in che lingua canta? In Tedesco????

  • Sì in tedesco con l'opera della condizione di Vienna durante il giro in Austria

  • i have a question,

    what do you guys think about doing don pasquale in another language?

  • My first thought is composers set the text to their music and most put a great deal of thought to lining up vowels on high notes,word stress, meaning, etc.

    My second thought is prior to the invention of supertitles or 'back of chair titles' what ever gets this glorious music to the masses is what's important -especially in less cosmopolitan areas. Just a quick response.

  • Gruberova- there is nothing more to say about he music. But thank God the times are over when opera productions looked like taken from scenes of "The Beauty and the Beast"...

  • About the production - it is my understanding that this was a tour from the Vienna Staatsoper - probably performed in a small town that did not have its opera house. A real truck & load.

  • Why she is singing in German? Anyway she is a goddess!

  • tedesco a parte, la Gruberova è straordinaria! ha un timbro meraviglioso... sembra un usignolo e un fraseggio ineguagliabile!

  • she's still a doll, today, in every way.

  • This is terribly cheerful for Donizetti. Gruberova before her prime is still stunning to watch.

  • WOW... She is awesome!!!

  • So beautiful... BRAVA!!!

    Excellent set and costumes, too!

  • What a wonderful performer in every way!

  • my dear Grubi , BRAVO!

  • She sounded AMAZING! the best I've ever heard from her!
