The classiest way to say "Let's all get wasted!" 😂😂😂 One of my fave arias!

[@Mike8981]

Ha ha!

[@angellicateoh6333]

I love this comment so bad that I can't stop laughing as I read it out loud! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@agenttheater5]

To me it's a tie with 'Im Freuerstrom der Reben' from 'Die Fledermaus'/'The Bat'/'Revenge of the Bat'. Though that one's a bit livelier.

[@danielleporter1829]

Mine too

[@infledermaus]

It screams Bacchus, god of wine and mirth to me. 🤣🤣🤣

[@greyfells2829]

This song is one of the best showcases of how the Italian language can be beautiful.

[@reignv5530]

came for her dress stayed for her voice

[@LaDivinaLover]

It’s one of the nicest looking productions out there these days. Most of European opera houses have switched to lifeless minimalism or jarring “modern” eyesores and it makes me want to puke.

[@rodrigosierpe5995]

Venera Gimadieva is not only a pretty face, but also there's something in her demeanor and voice when she plays violetta that's mesmerizing. Anyway, in a fan of her so I can't say I'm fully impartial 😁

[@JoyceBreyer-qp6mc]

"The Drinking Song" Beautifully done and performed with the wine bottle!

[@amyleigh6515]

Never thought I'd see the day when a bunch of random commenters on the internet would know more about singing than professional opera singers! Please guys... when you make your professional debuts and are invited onstage at the Royal Opera, do invite me! I look forward to seeing how much better you all do.

[@yogajedi3337]

Is this an opera, actually first thought it was a musical, lol.

[@martydg1509]

Huh? All I see are positive comments

[@janetflier6192]

@J H You are correct. I can’t sing opera, but I certainly can tell if a singer is on pitch!

[@paules3437]

This is indeed the wrong approach. Telling if something is bad has nothing to do if whether the critic can do it him/herself. The tenor here is sharp a lot!

[@charlietom100]

That's like saying u have to be a sommelier to have an opinion on wine, what an arrogant, stuck up thought process. It's art, the least objective of subjects.

[@noahstrube1027]

Being in this opera has ruined alcoholism. I can't drink anything without bursting into "LIBIAMO"

You guys have amazing voices seriously.I love the performance.

[@ruthofzion]

I seen this production live and it was absolutely breathtaking,l Pirgu and Gimadieva were wonderful in their roles

[@amybaker4654]

She was alright i suppose but his voice just doesn't cut it for me.I saw this with Joseph Calleja and he was fabulous.Renee Fleming was Violetta on that performance and she was beguiling.

[@clausesanta5042]

Another marvelous work by Venera Gimadieva. While performance in 2014 was in contemporary style, this was closer to traditional; when the opera was firstly introduced by Verdi. To me, both are great! 👏👏👏

[@infledermaus]

This performance shows us that the human voice is thee most beautiful instrument. Fantastic! Thank you for sharing!

He's so handsome and she, so beautiful. This is a goddamn masterclass of casting and talent. Once again the Royal Opera is my favorite.

[@null9518]

Beautiful performance. As an aside, this reminds me of why the philistine spirit retains its allure over people. While at the same time, the emptiness and the meaningless in the words of the hedonist character becomes so striking amidst all that exuberant performance. That is not to say well tempered enjoyment has no place in our lives.

I think Alfredo should've been casted as Giorgios understudy. Violetta sounds amazing.

[@ellavoslinsky_flute]

[@morphyesque]

There is a humourous/black scene in the film "The Lost Weekend" 1945 (for which Ray Milland won his Oscar) when he played hopeless alcoholic Don Birnam .He is watching this drinking scene on stage when the actors holding alcoholic drinks give him an immediate craving for whiskey. This leads him to meet his girlfriend played by Jane Wyman.

[@patriciarios1417]

Una traviata,valeria valeri,muy guapa pero su voz,muy temblorina.pero bellísima.

[@paoloboriosi]

The intonation of this Alfredo often leaves much to be desired.

[@katherineroppel4595]

paolo boriosi After hearing so many good things about the tenor I was a bit disappointed. Maybe it was an off-day.🤷‍♀️🤓

[@Melancholie89]

He's got the looks tho.

[@LaDivinaLover]

Melancholie which is completely not the point of an audio based medium.

[@Landscape-b1t]

well said !

[@janetflier6192]

He also sounds flat!

[@joebloggs619]

Yeah... Right on, let's all celebrate life, get totally off our faces... But this really a very sad story anout a wayward country girl who loved the social gairty and g ood life a little tok much for her own good and ends up dying a sad death, abandoned by all these happy party goers. Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and you cry alone.

[@benedettabaroni7105]

I don't really like his voice. Maybe it doesn't suit the part... just an opinion

[@MicasCastanheira]

totally agree

[@amybaker4654]

I have heard him sing in another opera and he sounded good, i think that it was The Barber of Seville.Its difficult to say why he sounds poor here, as you say Verdi may not be his strong point.

[@shirokisasaki3233]

totally agree, lacks the timber of a great tenor.

[@tomokokobayashi1407]

Benedetta Baroni I completely agree

[@TommyBrisbane]

For all intents and purposes, he is absolutely fine. Everybody needs to stop comparing him to Pavarotti.

[@chatbud]

WOW! ROH is still using this production from 1997 where Gheorghiu debut as Violetta?!

[@RoyalBalletAndOpera]

The Royal Opera's production of La traviata was created in 1994 by Richard Eyre, starring Angela Gheorghiu as Violetta. Gheorghiu had made her ROH debut in 1992 as Mimì in La bohème.

[@chatbud]

Ok...at least I got the soprano right. lol

[@nicolem8754]

Someone teach me how to judge a singing voice, please... Why and how did you come to the conclusion that they are good/bad??

[@lungdoc]

Nicole M It takes a lot of listening, developing your taste and not infrequently hear people sound very dogmatic forgetting there is a lot of subjective component in their opinion. Don’t be discouraged by what others say. Just go with what you like or don’t.

[@janikb3538]

Either a lot of listening, a lot of knowledge or some people are just born with good ears. His voice sounds off.

[@LaDivinaLover]

Nicole M You take years of learning how to implement the voice in a pleasing, beautiful, and healthy way. I’ve been singing and learning operatic technique for the last 15 years (since I was ten). Some of the voices I adored in the beginning of my education I look on now like a drunk looks on the night before. “What the hell was I thinking”. Once you learn the basis of good technique and what the proper sound should be you move onto style. For instance, you don’t sing Verdi the same way you would sing Handel or Puccini. It was completely different times in musical history with different musical traditions and music written by vastly different people. For instance here, this tenors voice sounds (to me) strained, his timbre is not very pleasing here, he is constantly off pitch and his legato or smoothness of vocal line is awful. If I had to guess I would say he is actually a Baritone and he is trying to sing as a tenor. He may “have the range” but the beauty is lacking because it’s not a natural placement for his voice. That isn’t to say he doesn’t have a nice voice to your everyday person. But most opera lovers are practical fanatics after the stupendous, supreme, and divine singers. I would Suggest listening to these singers, as they are examples of truly FINE singers. Maria Callas (recording between 1949 and 1959), Joan Sutherland (recording from 1959-1979) the first two I consider the finest Sopranos of the 20th century. Montserrat Caballe, Luciano Pavarotti, Franco Corelli, Giusseppe DiStefano, Anna Moffo, Elizabeth Schwarzkopf, Kathleen Ferrier, Janet Baker, Nicolai Gedda. I could go on but I’ll stop there. If you’re truly interested in learning more about the operatic voice a decent book to start with is Tetrazzini’s “How to Sing”. It was published in 1909, I think, so some of the terminology is out of date but it’s very educational and an ebook version is about $3. You can also just check out my favourite videos on my profile... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
