[@LohengrinO]

isnt this music the very joy of life...

[@MrQbenDanny]

Lohengrin O "Isn't this music the very joy of life?" I absolutely love this AND request you Pin It!!!! Gruberova is particularly TRUE in spirit and vocals, stunning really, before the howling woolf chapters.

I love Bartlett pears myself but I've never heard a Bartlett pear, or any other fruit, sing like Lucia .Popp.

[@BellaFirenze]

Die Fledermaus is a delight from beginning to end. I have fond memories of singing (chorus) in this operetta. The ladies, compatriots, in this performance are wonderful. I wept when Lucia Popp died of brain cancer at age 54.

[@LohengrinO]

extremely Beautiful music

[@helenamatias5]

Lucia Popp had an amazing voice 😀

[@coloraturaElise]

Two of my favorite ladies! I'm surprised they took the cut in the Czardas, because Popp can certainly sing that section, unlike most Roselindas. I really like how much fun everyone is having in this production, dancing and laughing...it's palpable!

What a bunch of fools the Met management was for not showcasing the incredible instruments of both Popp and Gruberova. I can never get enough of hearing either of their voices.

[@LohengrinO]

when did the Met was not a bunch of fools...

I’m pretty sure Gruberova did sing at Met, didn’t she? I’ve seen her old picture, where she was standing next to the Traviata poster from Met (Gruberova as Violetta of course) with “sold out” tag on it.

[@ajeansmith5478]

Popp sang Pamina and Guberova sang Zerbinetta at the Met, I recall

indeed incredibly beautiful music

[@dankurth4232]

@ Peter Nexus Neither the world nor anyone else can be made happy by being forced to do something. But Die Fledermaus is really a most charming and ingeniously enchanting Operetta

[@alioffe4321]

Gruberova: the only soprano in recorded history whose breathing is louder than her top notes :P Her performance here is really good, though. She's enjoying every minute of it, which affects the overall performance. :) Popp is sublime, as usual.

[@LohengrinO]

now that you mention it... love your comments!!!! they trigger my brain just like Shardad's...!!

[@alioffe4321]

Thank you my dear Lohengrin. I really appreciate your kind words.

pls come and write the Dynamics comment to place it on description pls

[@stewielukecajr.7515]

popp, gruberova, benackova...... Slovak trinitarity

[@petercallahan7321]

Perfect role for Gruberova (Popp was actually amazing as Adele). Popp is stretched but sounds perfect in this rep and is just a delightful presence.

[@LohengrinO]

stretched because she sings this full body voice without the slightest compromise in any register... very few did this

[@brookeggleston9314]

@@LohengrinO Auger!

[@mattyd3079]

Yes, I thought Lucia would have been better as Adele, and Gruberova as Rosalinda. They both sound great in either role to my ear, but it does seem like they should have swapped

[@asdfopera7661]

Lucia Popp drops out of the trills very quickly.

[@LohengrinO]

for some voices trills can be too heavy weight lift... I think Montsy was the same category...

[@jmiller05]

Prime Gruberova was incredible. Instinctively musical and her coloratura was sang like the purist instrument. Scooping was always an issue but no one can doubt her skill before she turned into the nightmare of the past 15 years.

[@LohengrinO]

and she is having so much fun singing these roles...

[@wolfgangtrubshaw5549]

Satan brought her back in a pre-prepared vessel, knowing she'd get killed (that "drained" her, "of course" …): Do yourselves the favor and google a so-called "human" called Jeanette Biedermann. And try to see through the make-up. Remind you of anyone?! Then check her IMDB and understand Satan's own sense of "humour" in her roles and the name of the series she's been in … And then spread the word! Aaaaaaaargh! Popp is back … Quasi: Pop(p)o - that's _back/behind_ you know?! (In German.) (And you're _all_ pretty funny …)

[@mattyd3079]

I wonder if Lucia should have been Adele and Gruberova Rosalinda?

[@dianaaljadeff2983]

Gruberova also sang Rosalinde and Popp played Adele. Both great late unforgettable sopranos could sing both roles

[@mattyd3079]

@@dianaaljadeff2983i also wonder if that would happen today. Seems opera singers tend to get stuck in fachs. Popp would probably be typecast as Adele, and Gruberova as Rosalinda

What´s the name of the first aria? It´s amazing!

[@LohengrinO]

it is a trio :p

[@PeterBrodie]

Lohengrin O, I'd say it begins more like an aria with a chorus of three! Not quite a trio in the fullest sense.

[@NLidar]

So muss allein from Die Fledermaus and its a trio

[@thesoubretteoftheopera7313]

I keep forgetting Gruberova was actually good at one point.

[@LohengrinO]

she used to be Divine

[@LohengrinO]

yet the real star here is Lucia.. can you feel how difficult it is to sing these roles with a Full Body 3 register voice as Lucia does here? no drop of volume in any register... Im always at huge admiration for singers who sang with big support of their middle voice, it makes the singing so incredibly difficult

[@thesoubretteoftheopera7313]

Well I never forgot how great Lucia Popp was.

I have yet to hear a better version of the aria in Rigoletto, 'Caro Nome'...........sublime.
