I was intrigued to watch this. Damrau is an amazing, talented, technically brilliant, classically trained singer. And I adore her. But this song was not written for a singer. So I was interested to see how she would perform it. I was not disappointed.
She is wonderful, she makes you understand the lyrics as well. The clowns being the metaphor for enlightening the difficulties between these two... they ought to be there.... maybe next year.. Real tragedy.
I bet there wasn't a dry eye in that room that was incredible she's incredible she can sing anything she's dominant at what she does she totally owned that beautiful and subtle totally blown away
When the tune was written for Glynis Johns and you gotta pitch it up... Damrau is such a magnificent ACTRESS; even if I don't prefer her interpretive decisions, she never makes an objectively WRONG one
Unbelievable performance 💎 Also by that orchestra of luminous musicians & very highly "conducted" conductor. Memorable & "d'anthologie" (sorry, found no translation that I'd dare use here).
