Amazing performance by Renee Fleming. She sounds ill and dying and simultaneously like herself, with that voice one loves. Joseph Calleja's voice is beautiful and his performance here seems to me impeccable.

[@janinebone9790]

I totally agree. Your thoughts on Joseph Calleja in particular are my own. Thank you.

[@Peterwright99]

Cynthia, I can only agree. Nobody's upstaging anyone here, these two are both brilliant and use subtlety as well as effortless power and even deliver good acting in what seems to me the best production to date of this wonderful opera. I just wish I had seen it live.

[@SteveL2012]

Couldn’t say it better!

[@SuperMaccalad]

My God what a stunning performance indeed. How much better can you get in music then a great Verdi aria with Fleming's flawless genius and a divine tenor as Joseph Calleja, whom i hardly knew uptill now. This is so beautiful, I do am so grateful to be part of this beautiful vocal spectacle, time after time.

[@Mercurio_volante]

They just uploaded the whole opera with them, it's magnificent!

[@vfalk7927]

Absolutely beautiful their voices blend perfectly, to my mind the very best I have ever heard this aria sung by anyone. Joseph Calleja is to my mind the finest tenor in the world today, and Renee Fleming has such a pure stunning quality to her voice.

Stunning performance by Fleming & Calleja. You must feel, hearing this, a lot of tender happiness and a state of mind full of joy.

[@paulgildan4388]

To me, this has got to be one of the most beautiful songs and its accompanying music ever written and performed. Bravo! I had not ever heard or seen this wonderful performance of it before listening to it just now. Again, bravo!

[@jans5331]

I have seen this superb piece very many times. Each time I am amazed that their great acting has not negatively influenced their great singing. A fantastic piece ! Thank you for uploading !!

Absolutely, just perfection.

Glorious! Calleja has such a rich velvety timbre

[@hkoliviakim4479]

Mind boggling, beautiful. When the extremely difficult flows as if it is easy, it is great.

[@rayllompart]

Calleja is very magnetic as Alfredo!! He "almost" steals the show from the diva....What discipline...what presence...

Absolutely wonderful love Renee Fleming.and only recently heard his great voice.lovely together

[@GiladGur]

Calleja is my favorite tenor

[@michaellittler2617]

You may think this a strange comment, but no-one sings the single word “si” with such empathy and tenderness as Calleja. Listen to Pavarotti and many others and I think you’ll pick up on what I mean

[@paullewis2413]

One of the very rare examples of great Verdi singing in our time. Most of today's opera singers are hyped up mediocre artists that would never have cut the ice 30/40 years ago.

Great opera

[@emancamilleri4178]

Is it only me who thinks that Calleja's voice is much more beautiful without a microphone?

[@tristanhnl]

Are they singing with a mike in this opera house? If so, shame on the ROH!

[@tristanhnl]

@Nicholas Ennos ok, regarding the "super resonant singing stage", I'm aware of that. That's pretty much how opera houses are designed. It's not just the stage that's engineered to reflect sound, but the entire auditorium. The Met has the biggest auditorium out of all the opera houses, and it's also considered to have one of the best acoustics. I was only asking about ROH using microphones since Eman Camilleri made that comment about Calleja's voice being more beautiful without one.

[@sw34nj]

I fear that Last Traviata has gone out of vogue with the younger generation (my set) but I love it nonetheless! Xx

[@FoxAleister]

Don't be a pretentious twat who thinks they're special. La Traviata hasn't been "in vogue" for years and years and years.

[@davidcraig9938]

Flemings facial expressions are odd--like she is about to burst out laughing. Not her role at all, maybe comedy better suits her? Callejo, weak of voice and good heavens, its called a diet!
