I’ve seen many questions regarding her demure gesture towards her mouth just before she sings the final note. As an esteemed opera expert I can tell you she is activating her third lung. Simply amazing. And even better live if you can believe it. Sound that just builds and builds, and when she really lets loose, the sound just pins you to the back of your seat. Brava!!
Qué suerte y qué privilegio tuve de haber podído asistir en vivo a esta magnifica representación de D. Carlo, que me hizo cambiar totalmente mis reservas acerca de las óperas en formato concierto. Fué épica, y ese último minuto de Angela Meade fué algo sobrenatural, no se me ocurre otra palabra para expresarlo. Nos dejó sobrecogidos y admirados al máximo. Se hizo viral, y no me extraña. Y tuve la suerte de decir que yo estuve ahí. La Meade... Desde Coruña al mundo... Y todos los demás, fue genial, pero claro ese último minuto largo no hay palabras que lo describan. Se hizo Historia en Coruña 🌹🌹💃💃😯😯😯😯😧😧
En hora buena, debió ser genial. He escuchado a Meade también este año cantando Verdi, en el papel de María Boccanegra en versión concierto de la ópera Simón Boccanegra del teatro Regio de Parma y muy, muy bn realmente es un gran gusto escuchar una soprano interpretando con calidad a Verdi. Saludos cordiales.
Well... I like it. On Sunday I saw my fiance dropping to the floor and struggle near death. If I could describe my dispair, the grief and the inhumane way I screamed and for how long, this is the closest thing I can find. Fortunately, he's well, it was just a big scare. So, incongruous... I wouldn't say that. I think it's a good highlight of grief.
She is fantastic, the final note, Verdi wrote it for one measure, then lengthened it for two, obviously he wasn't crazy enough to demand it during the entire final coda because few singers can do it. Anyway, great Meade
Da gusto escuchar a la Meade, hace justicia a Verdi y a una ópera cómo esta que es extraordinaria. Voz sin contricciones, bien puesta, excelente interpretación. La orquesta se escucha súper Bn. Muchas gracias.
I like the soprano very much ! But the last note is supposed to be a scream and she's holding back to sustain longer ! That's why Caballe stay unreachable by the new singers !!
Bravissima Meade!! This is the interpolation of Caballe' - to hold the b natural to the end! Yes, not as written! But i think even Verdi would have been blown away!!!
Before y'all saying she held it out longer than Caballe, Caballe didn't the speakers we have now, only the microphone to record and had much more core to her sound Nobody asked - ⏮ ⏯ ⏭🔊-
JO.... menudo final de la Meade se sale en su rol, a lo que se ve, es asidua a cantar en A Coruña y eso es para felicitarse, tanto el público como la propia soprano, los primeros, por disfrutar del talento de esta soprano estadounidense y ella por cantar en nuestra ciudad muy bien acompañada por el tenor Francesco Galasso .
bad idea to not have them miked as the tenor is lacking... can he push anymore? Hence the noise when he tries to sing softly. All that muscularity from singing loud has no idea where to go and thus makes noise when not engaged. That vibrato of hers really gets in the way. It's as if she leans on it instead of singing above it. I don't know what is opera today.
