Roberto Alagna est Pagliacci. Quelles que soient les dates de ses interprétations, il est toujours exceptionnel . Quand il chante avec Aleksandra Kurzak, ils forment un duo magnifique sur le plan vocal et dramatique!
Thats the exact reason why I love opera - It shows unbelievable greatness of capabilities possible only for humans through incredible number of complicated things combined in one moment... And the meaning comes first, text, music, acting, stage setting and singing comes after to show that meaning in the best way possible. Thats just majestic
Wow! We’re so used to hear heavier voices singing Canio but Alagna is truly amazing in this video. Kudos for the soprano and the stage director. Makeup, acting, etc. we’re great, convincing and moving. It really gave me goosebumps!
Vu à NYC au MET dans une autre production en janvier dernier avec Aleksandra Kurzak. Roberto Alagna y était tout aussi exceptionnel dans ce rôle. Un très beau souvenir. Quel talent!
When he came to Philadelphia we were very excited. But, Many singers and soloists came to see him. We all were looking at each other with disappointment. Philadelphia Academy of music.
More than any other style of opera, verismo operas like pagliacci REQUIRE emotionalism from the artists. Pavarotti said canio was good on recordings but his live left slot to be desired....alagnas voice is lesser than in years past but this is desk Monaco style pagliacci...wonderful.
I agree with alexgomez2. An amazing performance for both principles. Scary and poignant. Check out Placido and Teresa Strata's performance. Who is scarier? I think maybe the latter but not by much. It is all opera after all.
Yes! Standing to the news that was the inspiration for Leoncavallo's Pagliacci, the guy who was cheated by his wife, after he murdered the lover of the wife, he killed himself.
Also check out Pavarotti's video of the same opera. At the end, after Canio killed both Nedda and Silvio, the look of sorrow and compassion on his face was unexpected and quite moving. He sang this part so well himself. Well, he was Pavarotti, after all.
Pavarotti's voice wasn't the right one for that type of music.....much better performances out there. Alagna's does certainly not belong into that group.
@@ilecier pav is clown, poor squeaker! Good perfomances? 🤣 A lot of! Corelli, Monaco, even Gigli, Stefano, Ceccele! Check out non pagliaccio non son version of Corelli and pav. Mosquito just a poor parody, Corelli a high lvl!
I loved that performance of Canio by Pavarotti. You are right about the look on Canio's face after those murders. He seemed to realize the depth of what he had done. Also see Domingo's performance of the same opera. When he tripped over a stool and fell while singing, not losing a beat, he showed true professionalism. Don't you just love opera?
@@guidogreco341 del monaco é inadatto invece per questo repertorio, qui serve verismo non eroismo, e va bene sia voce drammatica, che la vocalità del maestro Alagna.
@@davidecostanzo8925 Maestro Muti..Allagna adatto per la Travitata-La boheme..non certo per ruoli che richiedono un maggiore spessore(intervista di 10 anni orsono)....Pagliacci-Otello-Andrea Chenier...qui non si tratta di gusti IlBuonAlagna tenore lirico/leggero in questi ultimi anni si è cimentato in opere che ne hanno leggermente minato la sua stupenda voce...Del MOnaco è stato riconosciuto come uno dei più grandi interpreti nel ruolo di Canio..i Corelli Cecchele Bonissoli...potranno suffragare quello che dico..Alagna lo paragono al Carreras giovane,voce sublime,ma di certo fuori ruolo in determinate opere
He has one of the worst wobbles I've ever heard. What a pity, too, as he was a pretty good lyric tenor back in the 90s. I suppose it's what happens when a lyric voice desperately wants to be a dramatic.
@@alleviation91 no, it because of technique and yes, he was a wobble since the very begining. With diffect in his singing like hvor, who was a disaster too. But Alagna got a beauty voice, he can do better, eluminate diffect, but not a perfect technique ruined his voice and wrong repertoire since starting = cracked finally voce
