Asmik Grigorian sings an excerpt from Cio-Cio-San’s Act II aria in a stage rehearsal. Production: Anthony Minghella. Conductor: Xian Zhang. 2023-24 season. Videography by Neville Braithwaite.
Her Butterfly at Covent Garden was equally stunning. It was cascaded to about 100 venues - and the cinema I was in in Richmond erupted after this aria.
She is a fantastic artist who makes the experience of going to the opera compelling. I saw her debut at the Met and I was riveted by her performance. She is meta: she lives somewhere above both music and theatre. She reminds me of Teresa Stratas who also was a complete artist. May Asmik Grigorian thrive and perform for decades to come.
Metveilleuse. bUTterfly voix. Interprétation. SUBLIME ,,c’est AsMIK grande artiste d’une grande BEAUTÉ j’étais à son spectacle hier soir le 11 .qel plaît !!!!je regarde toutes. Ses vidéos je l’adore!!!👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was there as well. The substitute Pinkerton performed well and grigorian was excellent. Her final scene needed more vocal passion however and the conductor provided a place throughout that was often too slow especially in un bel di.
chiedu, no, pardon, please, but Asmik Grigorian is no real Turandot....and about Butterfly : I am not sure about her singing in this part.....it sounds great or excellent or whatever for the ears of the opera-lovers we have TODAY .....btw, Turandot Vienna Dec 23 was horrible. Horrible stage design. Mediocre Calaf... 2:28
@@KajiVocals thanks for Your offer to share .....but no need, thanks a lot. And in our days, sometimes difficult to discuss the developments in the field of the opera....
It just wobble, wobble, wobble. Screaming, screaming, screaming. Completely ingolata and out of tune. Just a completely defective mezzosoprano singing completely wrong repertoire. She got annihilated after just one or two Strauss/ Wagner/Verdi - annihilated in the lyric repertoar!!!!! It's a good thing that the microphones are on the stage, you can hear even more how small the voice is and how it doesn't carry anything. But that is already a well known fact. Hope you know, Asmik had to stop singing at least two or three times because she had problems with her voice, because she over-forces it - which can be heard, she is doing the same thing here. But a singer like that who screams and is technically very, very problematic is absolutely perfect for the Met. Well done, keep it up the "good work".
So loud. Her mouth hole is so far from the camera lens yet the fury of her super human notes are too loud to be absorbed properly. Imagine the camera was your unshielded ear drums… yeah
