Opera does not get better then this. In the performance she shows a new confidence like she has never displayed before. Her performance in Carmen was A+ but this is another level for her.
To Flyinghow: No "wow" to it? Are you crazy? Elina has "WOW" written all over her! The venue, Elina's gorgeous look. The aria which has never been done better, with more expression, desire, sensuality,Vulnerabolity. No wonder Samson succumbed to Delilah. And the Vienna City of my Dreams has that dreamy golden quality. You must be one cold fish.
PURE GOLD! SHEER MAGIC! Such elegance! Such class! Only in Vienna…Whoever chose the Samson et Dalila aria should be commended. A perfect choice for such dignity and beauty and for the great interpretive powers of Elina Garanca, who also looks like a living doll. This is a performance to be treasured amid such beauty and history. The Vienna City of my Dreams tops off this delightful scene.
Something precious each morning able to move our hearts away from Covid, the coming financial problems and the grinding. political feud we have labored under for four years.
For me Elina is the best Dalila I ever heard. You can even see Anna Netrebko cry (because it was sung so beautifully)!. And then the love-affair with vienna! (By the way Elina lived for sevral years in vienna.)
Fabuleuse interprétation de cet air de Samson, mais on peut s'étonner en effet qu'on l'ait inclus dans une soirée où la joie et la gaieté et de règle. Pour vous faire pleurer c'est gagné! Quelle voix, quelle tragédienne, quelle classe!
Anna Netrebko elle-même paraît éblouie, et il y a de quoi. Quelle voix de mezzo veloutée, quelle sensibilité musicale, Elina, vous êtes la plus grande !
Este es uno de los momentos de gloria de esta maravillosa cantante. Luce espléndida, arrogante de hermosura, finamente vestida, con un dominio de escena impecable y su capacidad de interpretar que es superior. Creo que solo le disputa la gloria la maravillosa interpretación de Carmen que Elina hizo en el Met en el 2011. SUBLIME.
