The greatest tribute to a singer I witnessed at the Met from my forty years of attending. Barbara's senza mamma was so emotional charged and riveting the night I attended, the whole audience was united in tears. With our emotions out of control, no one thought it was appropriate to clap. Dead silence only interrupted by some sobbing. Only a great artist could have that influence over an audience. Brava Frittoli - a memory for a lifetime.
The best production exceptionial cast - Frittoli was fantastic the end is surreal and engaging loved it!!! I lost my mother at birth it is exceptionally challenging to witness this ending and so emotionall when it is done so well !! 'd love to think that when i die my mother was there to meet me!!
I was there I love this production ..she was great both the aunt and suor Angelica...one of the best production in a long time of puccini's opera...........
Excelente presentación, ayer tuve la oportunidad de estar presente para ver esta obra trágica... Me puso el nudo en la garganta con los ojos llorosos...❤🎉
Are you the same person who comments on so many videos here who say that what you just heard is the most beautiful, wonderful, spectacular, gorgeous, performance there ever was? BTW, do you think Frittoli ever learned how to support her tone? I know, I know. Beyond your pay grade.
I saw Frittoli sing this a couple times in the season when this production opened. I just loved it. I also saw her do a sensational Desdemona. In her time, she was not just a terrific singer but also a terrific actress. There is a video of her doing Donna Elvira at the Met in a terrible production, but her acting in it is just delicious! One of many singers I feel lucky to have seen and heard.
I’ve seen Suor Angelica several times - with Renata Scotto, Theresa Stratas, Patricia Racette - and I’m seeing it again in Amsterdam in a few weeks. I often wonder how the soprano gets through an aria like Senza Mamma.

@@donaldgrove1972 Well, I am sure it was 2007 because it was the last night of the season, and I had just come home from CATHOLIC SEMINARY!!!! Horrors! Ha! I think the orchestra had beeb drinking by Gianni Schicci!!! Is that the correct spelling, Donald? Anyway, I guess I am like you with connecting it with other things. So, if you check and find out for sure let me know. Thanks!
@@donaldgrove1972 Donald!! I will never get over seeing the nuns do a step-touch-step-touch coming downstage late in the opera! I almost burst out laughing. Do you remember that?
