Lucia Popp: Operetta Spoof (Early 1970s)

[@alidiba4105]

She had the loveliest voice a soprano could have had , a pity that she has been dead for almost 25 years with brain tumor. But fortunately her voice is alive on multiple videos on KZbin and on CD's

pro trick: watch series at flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.

What an a strong beautiful voice Lucia Popp had.

[@ejentabi]

wow, what a surprise that she was even in commedy, and showing how effortlessly she sing....and....how sweet she always be...she is always my # 1 Soprano, one of a kind, an true angel

What a treat! Lucia is simply amazing - thank you

[@gattiniregola]

Mille Grazie Bazzas! If I had to pick one voice to listen to on a desert island, it would be Lucia. So lovely ... and this woman was a gifted actress with a killer sense of comic timing. Most opera singers over-act when they are attempting comedy, but Lucia's more subtle expressions (so evident here) are much funnier. It is a shame that her Schwipsleid (Tipsy Song) has disappeared from KZbin. So beautiful and so funny. She plays "tipsy" so well that it makes all the other singers attempting this look like amateurs, drunk rather than tipsy. I saw her only once (in an unmatchable Marriage of Figaro) and that performance made me love opera.

_Enlightenment_ loves you, too, honeybunny …

[@pamspurgers3578]

Thank you so much for posting this. Hysterical. It reminded me of a comedy sketch from the Carol Burnett show.

[@gerhardhofbauer7308]

Als die Todesnachricht von Lucia Popp in der Wiener Staatsoper eintraf, haben selbst die weniger sensiblen Bühnenarbeiter geweint wie die kleinen Kinder. Und Otto Schenk stammelte unter Tränen: Ihr so früher Tod ist die größte Gemeinheit der Weltgeschichte! Wie wahr! R.I.P. und ich denke, sie singt im Himmel und alle Engel liegen ihr zu Füßen

[@valerianoherrera7248]

Otra joya de mi querida Lucia, gracias Bazzas.POR SIEMPRE LUCIA POPPOVA.

[@fabianpersic]

[@mieelapies7968]

観客の方々の爆笑につられて思わず笑ってしまいました。ルチアさんの歌はもちろんですがお二人の名演技に拍手喝采ですね😊

[@jongsuyi5133]

Very funny singing video,nice watching &thanks.

[@rockybernard2997]

When I listen to Lucia Popp, seems all others are simply trying to imitate her wonderful sounds.

[@greatmomentsofopera7170]

I think she is miming here, but so much comedy to get in time! Very impressive, and what a gorgeous voice!

[@t1serres131]

Yes she seems obviously to be lip-syncing, but the voice is unmistakably hers and ... wow ... what a comedienne! Miss so much this marvelous creature of the stage. She, Auger, and Troyanos all succumbing to cancer in their mid-50s in the same year. One of the worst years ever for the opera world.

[@Gabcinela]

🤩 amazing, great!

[@Herur22]

He, he, lovely.

[@kjamespeace]

Excellent! My like 91!

[@sallymjmj750]

She literally brought the house down.

[@paacer]

her partner is excellent also in this clip

[@marcmomus]

Her partner is the brilliant and talented Peter Alexander, singer, comedian, and TV star in Germany for 40 years. Look at the clip of him singing ‘Komm mit mir ins Chambre Séparée’ with Ingeborg Hallstein.

[@laura_JesusistheWay]

Brava!! The always lovely Lucia Popp...what a wonder. :) Does anyone know the song? It's beautiful!

[@BazzasBest]

The song is "Du bist der Kaiser meiner Seele" ("You are the ruler of my soul"). It is from the operetta "Der Favorit" (The Favourite) by the Austrian composer Robert Stolz.

[@carolsworld6146]

BazzasBest thank you

[@aetion]

The man is Peter Alexander though, isn't he? Thanks, dear Barry.
