I saw this live in San Francisco. So moving. I was wrung out emotionally. The power of her acting/singing is even more convincing live. I really have become a big fan of Racette. I think she is a great actor.

excelente, puccini siempre con esas armonias de todo un poco, impresionismo, y un poco de atonalidad en la escena anterior con la contralto... al mejor estilo de una banda sonora, adelantado a su tiempo, siempre he pensado que Pucini fue el primer compositor de Bandas sonoras, Bravo¡¡

SUOR ANGELICA (rimasta sola) Senza mamma, o bimbo, tu sei morto! Le tue labbra, senza i baci miei, scoloriron fredde, fredde! E chiudesti, o bimbo, gli occhi belli! Non potendo carezzarmi, le manine componesti in croce! E tu sei morto senza sapere quanto t'amava questa tua mamma! Ora che sei un angelo del cielo, ora tu puoi vederla la tua mamma, (umilmente.) tu puoi scendere giù pel firmamento ed aleggiare in torno a me ti sento. Sei qui, sei qui, mi baci e m'accarezzi. Ah! dimmi, quando in ciel potrò vederti? Quando potrò baciarti? Oh! dolce fine d'ogni mio dolore, quando in cielo con te potrò morire? Quando potrò morire, potrò morire? Dillo alla mamma, creatura bella, con un leggero scintillar di stella. Parlami, parlami, amore, amore, amore!

This aria to the end is really the whole reason to watch this opera. I really hate to have to pick one, but I'd have to say Suor Angelica is probably my least favorite of the Trittico, even though I do love all of them.
@briannabrittany31277 жыл бұрын
For those who saw this production in the house or in full, does the production - the direction, the setting, the story - make sense? This little clip left me wondering why nobody in the hospital could hear her cries at the end. Why did the little boy not run to get help? Why didn't Angelica try to go to the doorway and call for someone? There was no sense of salvation, no sense of a miracle, no sense of Heaven, just agony and steely coldness.
@prakkari6 жыл бұрын
ms_chippy The boy is long dead. It's all about that. Get help? You must be kidding or just disaterously misunderstood the piece.
@briannabrittany31276 жыл бұрын
I know the piece well. I've appeared in other productions of it, more than once, and as chorister and singing some of the small bit parts. My point is, the story-telling here is not clear at all. We know Angelica's son is dead. What does this director want us to think is happening in these final moments? Has Angelica been redeemed or not? Or was her suicide meaningless? Is she reunited with her son in an afterlife, or was this a delusional act by a depressed nun? Who is that boy is behind the window? The son Angelica is singing about, or a random boy watching a nurse die and doing nothing? If it's Angelica's son now as an angel welcoming her to heaven, then some indication of that would be helpful. If it's Angelica's hallucination and nothing is really there, then some indication of that would be helpful. If it's one of the patient's in the ward who happens to come by at this moment, and does nothing to assist, then some indication of that would be helpful. But to just stand there looking on impassively with no explanation is just that - As it is, it looks like one of the children from the ward got out of bed during the night and is peeking through the window watching a woman die, and showing no reaction at all, either as her dead son or a patient.
@wotan109502 жыл бұрын
It is rather confusing. I saw this same production from Covent Garden, and the implication is that the boy is just one of the hospital patients. There is no miracle or salvation or Madonna. It may be too sentimental, but I prefer to see Scotto, for example, sacrifice her own life to be reunited with her son.

SUOR GENOVIEFFA Sorella, o buona, sorella, la Vergine ha accolto la prece. LE SUORE Sarete contenta, sorella, la Vergine ha fatto grazia. SUOR ANGELICA (si leva come un’esaltazione mistica) La grazia è discesa dal cielo, già tutta, già tutta m'accende, risplende! risplende! Già vedo, sorella, la meta!... Sorelle, son lieta, son lieta! Cantiamo! Già in cielo si canta! Lodiamo la Vergine Santa! TUTTE Cantiamo! Già in cielo si canta! E così sia! TUTTE Lodiamo la Vergine Santa! Lodiam, lodiam! Amen! SUOR ANGELICA La grazia è discesa dal cielo! Suor Angelica ha sempre una ricetta buona fatta coi fiori. Amici fiori, che nel piccol seno racchiudete le stille del veleno. Ah, quante cure v'ho prodigate Ora mi compensate. Per voi miei fior io morirò! Addio buone sorelle, addio, addio! Vi lascio per sempre. M'ha chiamato mio figlio! Dentro un raggio di stelle m'è apparso il suo sorriso, m'ha detto: Mamma, vieni in Paradiso! Addio! Addio! Addio, chiesetta! In te quanto ho pregato! Buona accoglievi preghiere e pianti. E discesa la grazia benedetta! Muoio per lui e in cielo lo rivedrò! Ah!

Omg yes- like this… edit-- okay yes but less tension is possible if you breathe in slow and low and EMOTE the acting without the tension real fear/anger/pain causes in the throat- she keeps SUUCKING in air which causes throat tension as she continues. There is a line…. She is dancing circles around the line… that’s probably what is making her late too… hang on here comes the float note….. yep see it’s unclear because she had allowed her acting to go just past the line to where her body can’t do the work she trained it to do. I mean- most of the audience doesn’t care- but other opera singers are always playing the game of “how far can I break rules and still nail it”- we know she lost the game and we want everyone to win it. It’s about “beating the man”. Okay I’ve rambled enough. I’ll get off the soap box now. Thanks if you’re still here. You can go now, Caio-

I think you mean "portamentos" which Puccini actually did NOT like - however, many singers (particularly sopranos) resorted to them to get through their vocal passaggios.

You have to give her credit at least for holding out that high C with the chorus partway through this - facing the back gave the illusion that she was singing it pianissimo without her actually having to do it! Clever collaboration by singer and director here.
