Regina Resnik - Falstaff Act II, Scene 1

[@mjmacmtenor]

This is fantastic! The translation is not too bad, and the singers English diction is fantastic. Evans and Resnik were great singeing actors and two of the greatest interpretors of these roles. It is great to see them acting (and in their native language as well).. I certainly think Verdi would have approved. He was so concerned with the text of his operas and the audiences understanding the drama that he would have wanted the audience to hear this in a language they would understand.

This is what Opera is about, none of this snobbery nonsense

Wow!

[@cantanteporsiempre]

The best! Love her Salomes

[@krunoslav1271]

Resnik sang Herodias, but never Salome. Maybe you are thinking of Leonie Rysanek as Salome?

He was really, really good Helena, you can be very proud of him!! Did you read his autobography : ''A Knight at the Opera!'' I really can recommend it; it is a great read!

Right. In italian it is even better.

@ericgj and mjmacmtenor: actually Sir Geraint Evans' native tongue was Welsh

Sie ist gut wie immer, aber in der italienischen Originalsprache ( reverenza ) klingt es natürlich noch viel besser!
