EDITA GRUBEROVA - Roberto Devereux

[@diogo2505]

This is absolutely outstanding. Only a truly great singer can risk to act like Olympia, the Doll in a bel canto mad scene. The effect of madness, despair and waiver is remarkable. Top notch singing from a great soprano.

[@rothenbergerfan]

Eine der wunderbarsten Stimmen des Jahrhunderts ist für immer verstummt. Dank für viele Stunden Musik, Gefühl, Perfektion und Schönheit!

[@pboy61]

marvellous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Singing opera on stage means acting too,Never seen anybody else as moving as Mme Gruberova.Love this scene

[@chaserooface]

This shook me to the core. Her Lucia was always my favorite too. But I had NEVER seen this. Oh my god, she sounds f*ckn incredible and she’s sure as hell in the moment- she’s a Queen 👑

Edita Gruberova is one of the best sopranos ever. Her voice is simply spectacular. Still with 64 y.o. !!!! This has not discusion. I saw this performance in Munich 2007 and when someone decide to stay stand and ovation for more than 30 min. is for something special. I never saw something similar with nobody at any opera theather. It wasn't the 'crazy fans', was the whole theather. Incredible. Brava!

Respect. Very few can do what she does here at 59. Great artist.

[@gerardmignon700]

Cette femme est une merveille absolue! Sa scène finale de Roberto Deveureux en concert, de 2017 à 72 ans, est une leçon de chant basée sur une technique inouïe, la voix est encore invraisemblable, puissante, d'une expressivité à couper le souffle, elle prend des risques qu'aucune actuellement n'oserait prendre, même les plus grandes, qui feraient bien de s'en inspirer, pour peut-être un jour être son ombre.

[@DrewWasMe]

Ésta si que es una verdadera Elisabetta en su justa medida, sin empalagar ni sin quedarse corta en la interpretación....con una fantástica facilidad para los agudos que en ésta obra son difíciles y que decir que pocas sopranos como la Gruberova cumplen con el agudo final como tiene que ser.... pienso a gusto personal que esta grabación de Roberto Devereux es la mejor que se ha hecho por el momento, todos son buenos actores y buenos cantantes, buena orquesta y buena escenografía....

Edita's best recorded version of Roberto Devereux finale should be the one in 1990 in Spain, with the same staging as Weidinger. Somehow that video was deleted. In that performance, she gained incredible power in her voice and the last eb3 was sustained for NINE seconds!!! The audience got totally crazy after that!!!

[@swearty203]

Well, opera is singing + acting. Ideally they should be in balance and one shouldn't overshadow the other. But in this performance Gruberova has to put her acting in front cause she can't sing this anymore. This role very, very heavy. Vocally, no 50+ year old can do it justice. Nonetheless, her performance is exciting, dramatic and draws you in. She obviously likes the role, theaters and the audience seem ok with it. So more power to her :)
