Diana Damrau - Vissi d'arte - Met Star Live in Concert 2020

[@jdeatley5939]

Thank you for this beautiful music.

[@crazy_Fred]

For those who are so quick to judge...I don't think she means to add Tosca to her repertoire. She is intelligent enough to understand she can't sing this on stage in a full house. With a piano and no audience, this was the right opportunity to maybe make a dream come true.

[@nikolaydimov6893]

A wonderful comment! You said it great! Thank you!

[@la.luminosa]

Absolutely agree with you, people's perspectives on her are really dismissive, when she just want to try something interesting and quite new with her own art.

[@beachfanatic2010]

People need to STOP being selfish I tell you. This is a woman who doesn’t even have enough voice to sing the lightest soubrette roles. The voice has no DEPTH!!! None!!!! Queen of the Night? Are you kidding me? The minimum weight for the queen is Lucia Popp(a voice INFINITELY BIGGER with more depth than Darmrau). The proper weight for the Queen is Lilli Lehmann or even Edda Moser. In summary: DARMRAU HAS NO VOICE FOR OPERA yet she still gets rewarded with millions of dollars and this pisses me off cause she has no voice! Also I am piss that aside from getting so much money she also wants to sing stuff like Tosca only cause it is a dream? This is not an excuse!

[@la.luminosa]

@@beachfanatic2010 Huh? when did Diana said to sing Tosca is a dream? she's even scared to sing it because it's not part of her repertoires, she tried to challenge herself with it, and we actually know she didn't sang perfectly to be Tosca, and don't be stupid enough she only sang it once, she didn't meant to sing it in the future, she's not like Netrebko. Well it's not a problem why she's rewarded with millions of dollars, and first of all if you think she doesn't have a voice then it's your problem, she worked hard to have a voice, she even went a school to have it like the other opera singers too, and do you still want dead opera legends to be rewarded with millions of dollars? stupid right? Some of us may enjoy Diana and some of us not. Stop being so ignorant to modern artists, if you are stick to old school, stick with old school.

[@beachfanatic2010]

@@la.luminosa Ignorant me? DARMRAU doesn’t even have enough voice to sing in any solid operatic choir let alone to sing anything written for the lightest voices. WHY IS SHE SINGING OPERA WITHOUT A VOICE? She is singing with a piano and she cracked 2 times on the lightest part of the role. This is FARRRR from true operatic singing. FARRRRRRR! Shame on this mosquito larva.

I think the most important thing is that she gave herself the opportunity to perform this aria.

[@felipegelssis]

You haters should go throw shade on netrebkos vissi darte, at least this one, though light, sounds good

[@Keiwon.X.Lambert]

I’m grateful she had the opportunity in HER CAREER to make such a PERSONAL ARTISTIC decision. She’s a professional, y’all! She knows what she’s doing. This is art for the sake of art, and she collected a check, too!

[@romalisan1]

So beautiful, but very different in the voice of a coloratura. It's another area...kkkkk. It's the Queen of the Night singing at home, for fun and for the enchantment of her neighbors. Love her.

[@beachfanatic2010]

Except Damrau was NEVA EVA a real coloratura. She is at best a soubrette but without enough voice to even be classified as a soubrette.

[@natalyagennadi4753]

Y'all can fach off 😄 it's a beautiful piece, it meant something for the artist, let her express herself. Think that it's an art song!

[@perrehn7192]

Turandot next?

[@mugrad25]

It's not about her not having a big enough voice..the sound is too bright, cold sounding...this needs warm golden voice

[@James-sh7kx]

yeh yeh yeh, when she screeches in Queen of the Night, you guys also jump out and say her voice is so "dramatic". Now she is suddenly "too bright". 🙄

[@mugrad25]

@@James-sh7kx trying to be a wise guy when you know nothing opera isn't a good look. Tosca and QOT demands are quite opposite. Her QoTN is actually one of the best

[@James-sh7kx]

@@mugrad25 if that delusion is what makes you happy, I am more than fine to verbally agree with you.

[@mugrad25]

@@James-sh7kx what delusion are you talking about.. Puccini and Mozart are completely different with Puccini being more dramatic and emotional. The voice often must sing through the orchestra. Again, I think she is the best modern queen of the night. Dramatic presence, cold tone, and I like the weight of her voice in that. I know she no longer has the top notes and so now maybe she is starting to venture into verismo..and she just needs to adjust and find her place in lyric/spinto territory. If you want to have a discussion, we can chat but there's no need to be rude.

VISSI D´ARTE Vissi d´arte, Vissi d´amore, ária de Puccini, da ópera Tosca, Fala do passado de quem presta a ajuda sem nenhum fim, O questionamento de uma pessoa que é simples ou tosca: "Por que, oh! Senhor, por que tu me recompensas assim?" Era uma súplica dirigida ao barão Scarpia, chefe da Polícia De Roma. Ele diz: "Você me pede uma vida". Isto deprime. "Eu quero só um instante". Ela o mata, pois isto é a sevícia. Hoje o assédio, a violência sexual contra a mulher é crime. Vissi d´arte é a afirmação de quem viveu o melhor da vida Dentro da estrutura da harmonização de sons e cores Que fazem da existência, sem desencantos, ser mais vivida. Vissi d´arte é o mundo de inefável beleza que os artistas Disseminando as artes aos estranhos e aos seus amores Edifica o bem comum, colocando aqui o paraíso às vistas.

[@BaroneVitellioScarpia1]

This is not opera! 1 Callas = 70 Damrau

[@beachfanatic2010]

Wrong!!! 1 Callas = 3 trillions Darmraus! This is a MESS! A Tosca drowning in a huge OCEAN of vocal demand GASPING for air with a voice as tiny as a dot in a school notebook. The MET should be ashamed of themselves.

A collegue of mine top coloratura ruined herself for singing this role too early , be careful with this please ...a light soprano can sing this, but you must exactly know how to get into the spinto ❤

I love Diana but this isn’t her fach. She is an amazing singer though but not right for Tosca.

[@optimal798]

Well... at least she is not over-acting this time.

[@chaserooface]

Listen, if a big voice tried to imitate this performance, they might discover a thing or two about breath support/air preservation. Juss sayin! Ask Christine Goerke!

[@operaanimelover369]

Diana Damrau is far more of a Mimi than a Tosca. Though her efforts were valiant as always, this aria, let alone Tosca, was not and will never be for her.

[@BaroneVitellioScarpia1]

No, Diana Damrau is more of a Countess of Aremberg.

[@beachfanatic2010]

A Mimi? How about she stays COMPLETELY AWAY FROM PUCCINI! She absolutely has no business singing Puccini at all. This is a HOT ASS MESS!

Her voice is not suited to for this character. Don't criticize her before seeing her der Hölle Rache performance. She's also german, so she'll have trouble with the pronunciations
