Everybody criticize russians singers accent, but in the final of operalia this disaster it’s ok. Its sounds for russian people like chinese or hindu came for take first lesson of foreign language. And when we hear such a bad accent her emotions became a very funny and in one time strange struggle. It seems that she struggles with her tongue

It’s only russian people who care

Dragan Vidic in this position the whole essence of relations between Russia and the West. 🤦🏻‍♀️ let's not torture the singers then, do not force them to learn Italian, German, French for years. get rid of the accent. let them sing the same, awful, funny and silly,for example, Mozart, Verdi or Wagner. No parto, parto , just piri-piri))))

@@draganvidic2039I wonder what Italians would say when an opera singer would butcher their language? I hear they are the worst critics in Italy: they don’t clap and get up and leave during the performance in silence…. With all due diligence her dictation here is excellent. So is in German Rosenkavalier! Very good speaking. I am sure there is language learning involved as part of their degree and they get judged in completions on speaking and dictation.

@@ElizavetaWeisleibthey have to learn two foreign languages as a part of vocal performance degree. Opera singing is hard in general to understand. Even with native singers performing in their native language you can’t always understand everting. She does a decent job with Russian here in comparison to others I heard.

@@chicchic4122 do you know russian language well enough to give any grade of her pronunciation?
