This is an example how a voice can be when you take care about it! Young singes have to recognize this. Gruberova is one of the greatest opera singers of our age and I’m happy that I heard her many times from 1977 until today. And to criticize her for a funny encore after a concert is not really fair!

[@Postinaway]

I can't believe some numbskull booed her. I mean really, you buy a ticket to hear a legendary coloratura sing a difficult aria at bleeping /70/... you are grabbing the last chance to experience a singer whose art will imminently exist only on recordings, and you judge her negatively, let alone BOO her?! For one thing, they should have miked her and not just the orchestra. But what was good in this performance was spectacular, and I for one am grateful that I had a chance to listen. Bravissima!

[@Duncan456]

She is a master at one with her voice and the music. Brava!

BEST CANDIDE EVER !!!

[@crazyorganist1609]

No she's not. That title belongs to June Anderson

[@jongoldberg7992]

Neither one of them is the "best Candide ever." They're singing Cunegonde, and out of context of the show.

[@marylambcarter]

@@crazyorganist1609 from Gruberova ... of course the original ís the best ...

[@crazyorganist1609]

@@marylambcarter June Anderson sang Cunengonde with such beauty and conviction. This is an utter mess

@@crazyorganist1609 bitch please ... FROM GRUBEROVA ... learn to read !!!

[@bobbywinters7892]

I judge every performance on its own merit. I don't care who the artist is. This one was not good. Superstars have been booed at La Scala, because it was deserved. Singers have to know when to retire. Ms Gruberova's body of work is undeniably stupendous, but this is not the way to end it.

[@Zva26]

She officially announced her retirement three days ago. A wise decision.

[@musiktranen]

Stop being so salty, she is 70+ here.

[@Campuscoll]

@@musiktranen Being 70 doesn't give anyone the right to charge admission for really bad singing. She has lost her middle and low notes and shouts the upper ones. She continued way too long and her last several years were not complimentary to a really great career. She should have stopped 10 years before she did. We would have remembered her better.

[@Postinaway]

@@Campuscoll yeah, actually, it does. Ever heard of supply and demand?

[@carlosteiner]

Who are you to criticize this wonderful singer! This is also fun and be sure she knows that’s enough!

Christina Poulitsi sang it better.

Turn up your volume...

[@williamparsons8535]

Do you search all of Gruberova’s performances on KZbin just to keep posting the same hateful comment on all her performances? Get a life!!!!

[@ekpenasemota5005]

Worst rendition of this piece. But that note at 2:07 is very impressive!!! ❤😊

[@odionsmailbox]

I hate Edita's version; that's just a lot of cringe. 👎🏻😬🤢🤮 💩💨🐷🐀🐍💀 I love Christina Poulitsi's; she sang it better.
