Simplesmente a Divina

Divine, unique et éternelle *Edita Gruberova* ❣️

[@advocate1563]

The clarity is outstanding.

[@pauloribeirodealmeida6279]

Simplesmente maravilhoso! Parece-me ouvir um pássaro cantarolar. Parabéns Senhorita Gruberova.

[@victorli6848]

Timeless excellence she has. A very humble and kind lady who earned the high respect of huge figures like La Stupenda, Richard Bonynge, Karl Böhm. She has an ideal package of soprano traits: an ever-youthful voice, extreme range up to G(#?)6, spot-on coloratura (that Lucio Silla run, Zerbinetta, Konstanze, etc.), and exceptional breath control (her pianissimos are DIVINE). I have had the extreme privilege to see her singing live and meet her in person. That was just the most wonderful moment of my recent years. As she gradually sings less and less publicly, we are losing our connection with that batch of most wonderful divas who sang in 60s/70s/80s. Just the thought of this is sad enough.

a tip : you can watch series on flixzone. Been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.

[@lawsonkarsyn677]

@Ayden Maximilian Yup, been using Flixzone} for months myself :)

[@robertopiccinini2913]

A very great, unique artist, whom I discovered in 1983. And I have been loving her all my life!

[@acitipo]

Enorme , completa, y perfecta soprano de coloratura. Ella y la Sutherland brillan en lo más alto del Olimpo de la Ópera. La primera en los años 60 la Gruberova en los 90. GRANDE HASTA EL ÚLTIMO CONCIERTO!!!!!

[@carlosgustavorubio1332]

Brava!!! Bravissima!!! Divina!!! Su voz clara, limpia, pristina.... Que inmensa bendicion de Dios!!! Ademas de gran cantante es una gran actriz...!!! Por eso, en sus ultimas apariciones, sin pretender la estupidez de que cante como en su epoca de oro, yo aplaudo y vivo a la Edita de ayer, hoy y siempre, y mis aplausos nunca alcanzaran a agradecerle lo que nos ha dado a quienes amamos el Bel Canto. Mil gracias por el video, espectacular!

[@delibeslakme6451]

RIP. Querida Edita, te recordaremos siempre!!!! como una de las mas grandes sopranos de todos los tiempos!!!

[@janm.c.munich3513]

I saw la Gruberova as the Queen of the Night in Munich when I was a boy and it was a revelation. I have loved opera ever since. Thank you, Edita. 💕

[@lioneldemello9707]

Absolutamente genial!!!!! Su canto, su técnica, su timbre, su coloratura... Su clase y presencia en el escenario. Una vida dedicada al canto!!! Sin dudas de las mejores de la historia!!!!(los que la niegan son obsecuentes, y sin dudas lo hacen desde la enfermedad). Gracias por esta evidencia!!! Solo es para disfrutar!!!!!!!

[@gianmarcolori2745]

Rest im peace RIP Edita

[@esterbruno8604]

Wow!!!! 😍

[@jjlungdoc7472]

Rest In Peace Maestra.

[@magicmonkichi]

Gruberova is a TRUE artist and defiantly a legendary coloratura! random comments aside...nobody can deny she is one of the greats!

[@MisterSoprano]

THE Queen! R.I.P., my dearest Edita.

[@manolis.799]

Gruberova was a coloratura of the first class: anyone denying that is just ignorant. In the Mozartian and Strauss coloratura work, she is near unbeatable, and there is nothing wrong with that. I see nobody criticize “Wagner” or “Verdi” sopranos, what’s wrong with a “Mozart” soprano? Nothing at all. Brava Edita, in her prime she was sublime. Edit: her Gilda was also fabulous!

[@adeeo]

The one criticising have mostly never heard her live. I had the luck from small child to see her about 6-9 times from the front seats. I have heard many great singers, but I have never experienced and I mean with anybody, those emotions as with her. The mastery over her voice was simply out of this world...

[@adeeo]

I was here, when I was 17... Listen: this is phenomenal... kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYXPf5Z_pdWIoNksi=4mNzJmnEVOXyFa0S&t=2031

[@brunopicaude3092]

Her bel canto duets with Agnes Baltsa were extraordinary.

[@stellamarisbenitodevera643]

Brillante soprano de coloratura,dela mejores de todos los tiempos,muy buena interprete en escena 💞💞💞👏👏👏

[@nikipopov97]

Rest in peace ❤❤❤👏👏👏😭😭😭

[@jasonhurd4379]

Thank you for the clips from the Ponnelle Zauberflöte. It is unclear in Der Hölle Rache, but Gruberova is costumed as the Empress Maria Theresa, for a very good reason which is yet a little much to expound on here. Gruberova worked with Ponnelle in many of his productions, including Manon, Lucio Silla, Rigoletto and Così fan tutte.

[@gustavsantdoable]

wondeful soprano!

[@rubinskyceliberti4444]

Genial!!!!

[@hummarstraful]

Incredible power and sang easily over the volume of the orchestra.

[@elenaschafermusic]

I’ve got an instagram Fanpage for her called Editagruberovafan, if anyone here wants to join the fandom 😉 Edita is truly the greatest❤️

[@paulovp789]

0:35 she sounds like a flute, amazing!

[@gennaroschisano1647]

Un organo vocale unico ed una cultura e intelligenza musicale unica grandissima e irragiungibile

[@MrStpendouslvforjo]

I loved this video OperaMyWorld! Miss Gruberova was a wonderful singer. She really had a DELUXE lyric coloratura voice! These examples were fun to listen to! I wasn't so crazy about the Sonnambula - but I enjoyed very much the others. This lady had so much passion and energy! I had forgotten how much i liked her! You are so right about how she brought so much to the world of opera. What a voice she had and what an incredible longevity! Thank you for posting this!

RIP 💔😭

R.I.P. Edita

[@TheWriterWalker]

I had never heard of her until now, at the announcement of her death. But this tribute video is a wonderful introduction to her gift.

[@stefanocautavera]

When it comes to Italian opera, I prefer other singers. In Strauss and Mozart, on the other hand, she is truly at home (and thoroughly enjoyable).

[@niconico7281]

Stefano, el Bel Canto es opera italiana, En Sonambula, Beatrice di Tenda, Anna Bolena, Roberto Devereux la Gruberova no tiene rival y en Lucrecia Borgia, Lucía, Linda, il Puritani, La Traviata,Don Pasquale...etc está siempre en lo más alto!! No sé si habrás visto en teatro a la Gruberova en sus buenos años... Hasta los 60 años vocalmente se mantuvo en plenitud ( cosa única cantando un repertorio de coloratura) todas sus funciones en cualquier teatro fueron un triunfo incontestable !!!

[@stefanocautavera]

@@niconico7281 English, please. Thank you.

La Diva Century XX e XXI

[@laprimmadonna2341]

Lamentablemente hace un par de días se nos ha ido, la Regina…ahora no nos queda ninguna de las grandes.

[@acitipo]

Si. Nos queda Mariela Devia.

[@jmiller05]

Gruberova up until the mid 90's was a phenomenon. Then bad things happened, but let's bask in her prime a while.

[@TheWriterWalker]

That ending!

[@ahogbin2644]

Maybe the last serious great coloratura who really worked to gain a superb technique. For me her voice was rather glassy for the Italian bel canto roles. She was still singing exceptionally well in her 50s and without transposition but she did go on rather too long after that.

[@brunopicaude3092]

WAOW ! the end of the Sonnambula at 8:12 !

[@TheWriterWalker]

You are right. Wow!

[@ernreeders5583]

Yes, hatters are mad.

[@arnoldamaral7406]

A top voice to die for. Her middle and low notes were nothing to write home about but that top voice was phenomenal. 🙏👌. 🇫🇷 Arnaud Bourbon Amaral
