Marie Theres'! . . . es ist ein Traum

From Act III of Der Rosenkavalier by Richard Strauss, Zurich Opera 2004, Nina Stemme (Marschallin), Vesselina Kasarova (Octavian), Malin Hartelius (Sophie).

I weep uncontrollably every time I hear the Final Trio from Der Rosenkavalier. Every. . . single. . . time.

[@gerardmignon700]

J"adore Nina Stemme, son timbre, cette voix opulente, l'actrice, tout quoi ! Et puis Strauss, Strauss, Strauss qui a écrit le plus beau trio et duo final d'opéra de tous les temps. Le quatuor final de Die Frau ohne schatten est quelque chose aussi.

My God these are three of the best sopranos singing today, and I'm fortunate to have seen them-though individually- in other operas in the house. Wow and Wow: didn't realize they had all come together for this most glorious paen to the female voice. Kasarova was an INCEDIBLE Romeo in a D.C. concert opera performance of Bellini's "Cappuletti", Hartelius a divine Fiordiligi and Stemme a terrifying Elektra. But this just rocks! Wish I'd been there!

I was there...and cried the whole performance. It was so heart-breaking good.

Божественная Нина , божественный Штраус!

They should name their first child after the Marschallin - Teresito or Teresita!

[@theinkbrain]

***** It sounds crazy alright, but I prefer a happy ending, and I wish there could be one for the Marschallin too. Maybe Cherubino from Figaro will find her and they will live happily ever after. On second thoughts, Octavian could *be* Cherubino.

I have to Mention Faninal is sung by German baritone Rolf Haunstein
