Tosca: "E lucevan le stelle" (Roberto Alagna)

Cavaradossi's aria from Act III of Puccini's "Tosca." Roberto Alagna (Cavaradossi). Production: Luc Bondy. Conductor: Riccardo Frizza. 2013-14 season.

[@ErionXhaferraj]

whenever I hear Alagna's version it always gives me goosebumps!

[@jjh2456]

I love how he sings this. He follows the vocal line perfectly. There is no ham in the performance and does try to do too much than what is already there. That is how you sing this. Well done sir.

[@frankr.745]

Roberto’s version is the best!!

[@rooitenen]

He's not only a marvellous singer, but also a magnificent actor! He IS Cavaradossi!!!!

E lucevan le stelle Ed olezzava la terra Stridea l'uscio dell'orto E un passo sfiorava la rena Entrava ella, fragrante Mi cadea fra le braccia Oh! dolci baci, o languide carezze Mentr'io fremente le belle forme disciogliea dai veli! Svanì per sempre il sogno mio d'amore... L'ora è fuggita e muoio disperato! E non ho amato mai tanto la vita! (English translation) And the stars were shining And the earth was smelling The orchard gate creaked And a footstep grazed the sand She entered, fragrant She fell into my arms Oh, sweet kisses, oh, languid caresses While trembling, I stripped the beautiful form of its veils!

[@Ettoredipugnar]

Remember he and Kaufman are mic-ed. I saw Tucker and Corelli in the early 70's . No mic . Their voices filled the house. Also those who say he's no good. Have you ever stood on the stage and had to deliver ?

[@reniervandermerwe1379]

Is that true? Is kaufman really mic-ed?

[@Ettoredipugnar]

Renier Van Der Merwe Very clever. At the Met they have been for the sake of the radio brodcast. Since the early 90's

[@reniervandermerwe1379]

so its not for the purpose of amplifying their voices during performance?

[@operamma]

those mics are for recording, not amplification.

[@klaudiusmarcelus]

You should reed the begining this is the FINAL REHERSAL you never go on 100% especially when it's the final one- because it is moustly a day before the SPECTACL. If you eve stood on the stage you should be aware of this procedure . ( sorry for my gramar ) . And come on CORELLI seriously ? The guy was a fucking TERMINATOR nobody had his Power .even Pavarotti would have a dificult time in competting with this "Titan" .& TUCKER I seriosly don't know that gay ( so no coments on this one) .

Why???

[@Knightoftheorient]

Not bad but his high notes lack that ringing clarity of the true legends like Lanza, Pavarotti, Bjorling etc etc....

[@jenspflug7473]

Björling certainly does not belong into the group of ringing high note -tenors. Names like Corelli,del Monaco, Tucker,Pavarotti etc.and nowadays Kaharan represent that group.

[@simongaines7723]

I'm certainly no expert but if you want to apply the epithet 'ringing' to any tenor then Bjorling is the first that comes to mind,incomparable.

[@joga1943]

No,no,no!!!.........Kaufmann is the best Cavaradossi !

I do not agree! You can't compare those 2 tenors. They have their own style and own voice!
