Hi! I have just joined but there is no Suor Angelica! Where can I find it?

[@ianmillar145]

Ermonela shows why Opera is the highest art form. Her performances are simply beyond words.

[@Marc5528]

I had the great pleasure to watch Ermonela Laho singing yesterday in Suor Angelica at Liceu de Barcelona. People could not even wait to cheer her till the end. Her performance was delightful, thanks for the evening. That was an absolute overwhelming catarsis when the audience had the chance to applause in the end.

[@RBP1963]

Me too in Barcelona last december !!She was dramatically outstanding !!!

[@milija17]

I got something in my eye, seriously. I love the singers who act the scenes so devotedly, and not just sing them with technical mastery. This is a truly remarkable performance.

[@johnhowson2162]

I heard her perform this at the ROH and nothing I've watched there has moved me more. What you don't get from hearing this is just how beautifully her voice carries in the house and I was in the upper slips. We could hear every note and the feeling behind them. The memory will stay with me forever.

[@arthurjarman8681]

Lucky you. It must have been so wonderful.

[@bombsingaza]

❤️

[@DagmarDollmaier]

Wow! Her performance, from what I can see on KZbin, is awesome. I can only imagine how lovely it was in the upper slips, live.

[@ajeansmith5478]

Beautiful voice

[@debraeddy1]

saw her last night at the ROH. Cried from one end to the other of this aria. One of the most breath taking experiences I've ever had at the house. Brava

[@glynnwright1699]

She was no slouch in Madame Butterfly, last night at the ROH!

[@tamaracashour2355]

She has something very special-A pure unadorned commitment to the character. Her sense of drama reads through the vocal semiotic, not just through bodily gesture. The focus is on Suor Angelica as a character, not the diva portraying a character. That’s how it should be: one rarely sees that this days in all the sea of egos singing on the great operatic stages. Not to mention that her technique is sheer perfection. So beautiful!

[@shirleymuhleisen683]

Puccini must have known women who have had their child taken from them: this role and Cio Cio San in Madame Butterfly are heartbreaking. Very beautiful performance 🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@DmaathenDmaathen]

Sublime, moving, exceptional, awesome. This woman feels the mistery of the musical expression in every drop of her blood.

[@91Aramis]

I saw this performance in München. Incredible!!!! Absolute incredible!!!! I couldn‘t hold myself from crying

[@vannech6849]

Just a " Waouh"... can't say a word after watching this interpretation, so brilliant, realistic, so emotional ! 🥊😍🤩

[@fredo1070]

Saw this last Saturday. The greatest performance I have seen in an opera house.

[@woodwhittler7582]

In the current obsession with female singers having excessive vibrato, Ermonela's purity of timbre is like a breath of fresh air. Brava!!

[@susanfalconedaquino3623]

Wood Whittler I hate excessive vibrato

[@arnoldamaral7406]

Wood Whittler Your easily pleased INDEED. Arnold Bourbon Amaral

[@manonvernon8646]

I find the vibrato rather forced and her projection is poor

[@brentanoleader]

so interesting. I tend to agree with Manon Vernon above. Her vibrato sounds erratic, unnatural and irregular to my admittedly Italian-preferring ears . The pronunciation, to me, sounds very muddy as well. National and cultural preferences are a real thing-probably what makes the world go round. The exaggerated mime-like acting is also not my thing But, hey, are my preferences hurting her career or your enjoyment? Let's continue to enjoy this great art form

[@leopoldogranados7706]

@@manonvernon8646 Ans she's such a very BAD actress.

[@rhcb1]

One of the 10 or so most moving and performances I've ever seen in an opera house. Her Violetta and Cio-Cio-San are almost equally definitive. there been a more underrated truly great singer in the last generation?

[@Febr.89]

It feels like She is painting with her voice ! This is stunning ! 🤩

[@kaiyanwang7931]

She make me cry...gorgeous voice and performance. Brava!!

[@GjerdanPeterson]

Jane te pakte shqiptaret qe na bejne krenare keto kohet e fundit , bravo Ermonela .

Është e mrekullueshme

[@ИгорьБондаренко-я1с]

Потрясающий голос и вокальная техника в сочетании с исключительно выразительной и точной мимикой, пластикой тела и интонацией! Все, что я видел в исполнении Эрмонеллы Джахо, - подлинные шедевры оперного искусства! Спасибо, браво и ура!!!

The twenty century is preveliaged for having a pristinely magnificent 🌻 operatic soprano named Ermonela Jaho.💖⭐🌹 Greetings from la Portugal.🌄

[@Olgaalwina]

Wenige Worte.... Ermonela ist großartig!!!!!!!

[@talitasofijakomelj9730]

The last piano note is really AMAZING! Bravo!!!

[@EMILIOYERO]

BRAVA!!! Not bravo

[@scenitproduktion4975]

No No No. It is whatever one cares to express. Bravo bravissimo brava whatever. No wonder so many people shy away from opera, thinking they have to behöver in certain ways. No, We don’t. We just need to open our ears and our hearts.

[@southseastroker]

All one can say is it really doesn't get better than that.

[@Altonahh10]

It does.

[@Ramon34able]

Sensibilissima interprete la brava Ermonela!!!

Rips your heart out....

[@amfortas1978]

Just saw her tonight, Brava!! I cried

[@EminMucha]

really, you cried?

[@dcossi1]

back in 2011 when this trittico first appeared ,it was broadcast live on bbc radio 3. The male presenter ,at the end of suor angelica was choked with emotion and needed time to pull himself together .

[@uneti463]

Emin Muça ha mut

[@stephenestall9044]

Truly wonderful

[@PedroFurtado]

Sem palavras aqui! Que lindo! Não consegui prestar atenção na técnica, pois Ermonela já ultrapassou esse nível... Simplesmente canta e nos faz emocionar.

[@talitasofijakomelj9730]

Very beautiful!!!

[@lukasmiller486]

There’s no way those tears are fake. Great performance.

Ария сестры Анжелики Senza mamma, одна из самых красивых сопрановых арий в мировом репертуаре. Слушаешь-- и сердце замирает, перехватывает дыхание. Сестра Анжелика находится в монастыре уже семь лет. К ней приезжает герцогиня, её тётя, чтобы Анжелика подписала бумаги о наследстве в пользу своей сестры. На вопрос, что сталось с маленьким незаконнорожденным сыном Анжелики, из-за которого её поместили в монастырь, графиня сообщает, что тот умер два года назад. Анжелика плачет от горя в этой арии "Без своей мамы"... Позже она сделает и выпьет яд. Осознав, что самоубийство - грех, она будет молить о прощении, и перед смертью ей явится Мадонна, ведущая ей мальчика. Анжелика умрёт с миром, уверенная в спасении души. Малыш мой, ты умер без своей мамы. Без моих поцелуев твои губки побледнели и похолодели! И закрыл ты, дитя, свои чудные глазки. Не имея возможности прижаться ко мне, сложил свои ручки крестом. И ты умер, так и не узнав, как сильно любила тебя твоя мама. Теперь ты ангел в небесах,теперь ты можешь видеть свою маму. Ты можешь спуститься с небесного свода,и я чувствую, как ты паришь вокруг меня. Ты здесь, целуешь и ласкаешь меня. Скажи же мне, когда я увижу тебя на небесах? Когда смогу поцеловать тебя? О сладостный конец всем моим страданьям! Когда я взойду к тебе на небеса? Когда мне будет позволено умереть? Подскажи своей маме, прекрасное дитя, слабым мерцанием звезды. Поговори со мной, любимый, любимый...

[@MadonnaImperia]

The music is divine. The singing i really good. So why destroy it with a RIDICULOUS production like this??

[@arturlindstrom653]

Omg, doesn’t she give off Emma Thompson vibes?!

[@philipcondenzio5987]

Whoever designed her costume should be banned from working in the industry.

[@frankfurter6561]

Opera nowadays is a true scandal. All is solved with microphones. And the worst part is that the majority of the audience doesn't have a clue of what they are getting... or they are so pop orientated that they just don't even care.

[@manonvernon8646]

Totally agree

[@markivens]

The best since Callas !!!

[@richardvergara]

It’s the singing nun handmaid. Off-Jaho.

[@dorinabizhga5591]

Dritheruese!

[@elsa3881]

As for her Butterfly she has not the right voice for this role. The voice is too small. But we forget it when listening because she’s so moving !

[@lightflavour12]

❤️

[@sherrythegypsysalzman7032]

she's wonderful. the dumb costume detracts. she deserves the best

[@ChiakiShirakawa]

プッチーニさんの「死」をテーマにした三部作のうち、これ、今日初めてラジオで聴いて気に入った。 蝶々夫人は日本舞台だから普及したのかな？ 現世での無情さがキツいよね。 2004映画「Million Dollar Baby」by Clint Eastwoodやオペラ「La traviata」by Giuseppe Verdi を彷彿とさせるエピソード。 厄介者排除。

[@robertaterchinocentini3361]

Personally, I prefer her to Renata Scotto's performance. I find that the new generation of singers is a better actor and musician than a lot of the old ones.

[@justanotherbohemian3827]

I'll have to disagree, especially when it comes to tenors. When I hear old tenors like Björling, Del Monaco, Bergonzi, Pavarotti, I get the c h i l l s. When I'm listening to Björling's "Je Crois Entendre Encore" for example I think I'm really listening to Nadir singing of his love before he falls asleep. This doesn't happen to me with Kauffman, who is a modern tenor. And as far as Renata Scotto goes, her voice has such power that she doesn't need to act as much as you would perhaps want to see to move you. The emotion is all in her voice. This lady was astonishing in her own way, but Renata has a special place in my heart.

[@Altonahh10]

And this little voice comes live over the orchestra? Chest voice is not developed, too. It´s a very one-dimensional voice which lacks color. But that´s just my opinion.

[@eduardomedrano1972]

No tiene ni el timbre ni el color para el rol de Suor Angélica. La escuché acá en el Teatro Colón de Buenos Aires; 1er Acto llegaba cansada al "sempre libera" y sin mi bemol" 2do Acto no tenía un centro sólido en el dúo con Giorgio Germont; 3er Act desastrozo: sin graves sin centro y sin agudos y totalmente agotada en su respiración...

[@monainfame]

¿Y no será porque estaba interpretando a alguien que muere de tuberculosis?

[@melisaguiseppe7330]

Je nje yll

[@wewper]

Good for her for all her success. But I liked her better-though not by a whole lot more LOL-when she was called Asmik Grigorian.

[@billallen8409]

[@manilasop1148]

I don’t understand the phenomenon of Ermonela. In the times where acting is guided to a more natural, life/movie -wise, Ermonela is praised for her acting skills too. Not saying that acting in opera is very natural in general. Though, I’m confused as Erminela reminds me Mexican telenovelas or Turkish tv soaps. I watched her life, even from far away for me it was so unrealistic and over the top, so I couldn’t believe the word she sang. Not mentioning her poor sound quality which time to time couldn’t cross full orchestra. Completely overrated singer. Royal Opera should bring just the best singers in the house. It should be their duty to educate the listener with highest class of opera singing. I’m sad…

[@fredo1070]

Have you seen her live in an opera house? I have, and it was this role at the ROH in 2016 that made me a fan. Her performance sold me a ticket to see her performing Madame Butterfly and La Traviata at the ROH.

[@manonvernon8646]

Too much vibrato, too much energy going into her facial expressions and not enough into her voice - my favourite version is probably Montserrat Caballe's

[@emanuelschweikert]

Too much vibrato??? 🙄Well then go to the celtic women or thinks like that and left opera.

[@scenitproduktion4975]

Did you not allready state all this in an earlier comment?

[@ChristianProphecy777]

trash. took the name of a song and changed the entire tune.
