And she is not into giving autographs and posing for photos. This fact is not related in any way to her baby.<br />Filianoti sang as he does it almost always. He has a nice voice, but sings badly and this will cost him eventually. His singing has notjing to do with running on stage - I saw him earlier this year in Lucia in Vienna [also with Anna and George] and although the stage direction was much "calmer" he still sounded bad most of the time. But he renders a lot of passion and people fell for it.<br />Were I able to go to Paris this fall for hte Elisir, I would have loved to see it also with the alternate cast that included the splendid Tatiana Lisnic [who's also Romanian!!!] and the seductive Charles Castronovo.marcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711036037699241947.post-71175543598919524552009-10-16T20:18:07.830+03:002009-10-16T20:18:07.830+03:00"There are not too many opportunities to appl..."There are not too many opportunities to applaud Anna so the public took this chance to do it."<br /><br />Well, I think Anna is a very responsible artist, she very rarely cancels a performance (well, because of pregnancy, but that´s absolutely comprehensible, isn´t it?). <br /><br />I made the experience that she is not so much in giving autographs, maybe because of her baby at home, for which she takes care by herself. <br /><br />I can´t find words of how much I admire her, such a great artistic work AND travelling with her baby-child AND having a long-distance relationship with the man she loves. That´s almost to much pressure for a single person, but she manages to cope with it.eddahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796347757971406858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711036037699241947.post-22795681167922155782009-10-15T14:46:12.103+03:002009-10-15T14:46:12.103+03:00@Hariclea - YEEEES, Rolando.

It is a pity his voice is not really at the level of his other artistic abilities :-( I really wish it would be , because i like him and how much he puts himself out there on stage. In London i should have seen Rolando more than a year ago, it was sadly during his first break, But i do think he will sing it again when he is back and i am looking so muc forward to hearng him sing Nemorino again :-) <br /><br />If not, we might try Alagna in 2012(!) at the ROH ;-)))))<br /><br />Thanks for the wonderful pictures!Haricleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550284403833944770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711036037699241947.post-3939053084786886502009-10-14T22:35:08.347+03:002009-10-14T22:35:08.347+03:00@Margarit - nu suporta comparatie cu Rolando.Nu l-...@Margarit - nu suporta comparatie cu Rolando.Nu l-am mai ascultat pe Filianoti si din aceasta cauza voi da vina pe alergatura de pe scena. Una furtiva lagrima este o arie dificila din cel putin doua motive. Sunt multe pasaje unde tenorul este singu-singurel, fara sprijinul orchestrei si este la finalul operei. Cam ca Cessa.. in Barbier. Finalul trebuie sa fie reusit si pentru asta trebuie sa aiba resurse. Dar cred ca si-a dat seama dupa prima reprezentatie ce trebuie sa faca.Irinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07234468037564417792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711036037699241947.post-12985511084215566772009-10-14T20:54:41.923+03:002009-10-14T20:54:41.923+03:00Multumiri pentru prezentare.

Totusi, consider ca in aceasta opera partitura lui Nemorino este esentiala si daca performer-ul nu este la inaltime spectatorul este <br />privat de mare parte din frumusetea muzicii lui Donizetti. <br />Eu am vazut pe DVD o inregistrare de la Viena cu Anna Netrebko si Rolando Villazon si am fost incantat. Rolando a bisat "Una furtiva lagrima" - minunat. Sper sa reapara curand pe scena.Margaritnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711036037699241947.post-1101634000242279202009-10-14T20:52:34.901+03:002009-10-14T20:52:34.901+03:00Irina,
