She acts to the back of the house which is to say that wants the person on the last row of the balcony to see what she is doing on stage. Too many opera singers just act to the camera which leaves the live experience lacking. Diana thankfully doesn’t do that.

Not at all, she made a short pause that is not usually made because she realized she went a bit too far when throwing the glass away and may have hit something. The thing is that Damrau is very histrionic when performing, and more so if the character fits, and in this case one could say her Violetta is highly inebriated while singing this final cabaletta and acts as a drunk person.

@EIizabethGrace 5 ай бұрын

@@alejandrotm⁠ Wait, why are we so sure this wasn’t part of the production? Has something been said about it? This sort of thing isn’t really done off the cuff, afaik, and I imagine that especially applies to the destruction of a prop in a way that could hurt someone _and_ that would require someone to be on it pronto to pick up shards of glass and dry up the floor before someone gets injured. And it’s not like Damrau’s a newbie who doesn’t know how far she can take improv. Also, the hesitation 100% makes sense in character. A moment where Violetta can’t help but acknowledge she’s lying to herself about her emotions before forcing herself to put the mask back on. It also looks in character to me: not like Damrau’s off-stage mannerisms or in any way disjointed from the rest. Not to mention, I’ve seen her have on-stage mishaps - including dynamic, visible ones caused by other singers or external circumstances, as opposed to an off-stage one caused by her own deliberate action - and she _never_ makes it this obvious. I’d be really surprised if this wasn’t completely planned.

While during piano performance your hands cannot shake, during opera singing you have tickles... hope with maturity it all ends!

Many of us have problems with this performance. And for reasons that (I feel!) are objective truths. Pitch, the dropping of support, breathiness, lack of true legato or much phrasing or musicality. The argument that we’re all scolds and not great singers ourselves is specious. I can’t build a table, but when I commission one I should expect a good one for my money. She’s one of the most famous and lauded artists of her voice-type. We should expect a more-than competent performance at one of the most storied houses in operatic history.

This is simply an aging voice. Must have been hard for her not making the runs which used to be a piece of cake and no final E flat.

@orion8835 Жыл бұрын

Meh. Damrau just over sings and the voice has never been that well covered or supported to transition into the heavier coloratura roles convincingly. The top is just too glassy and raw. Now the acuti for which made her famous are omitted or rather uncontrolled screams. She should had just stuck with the lighter coloratura repertoire if she wasn’t going to redevelop the sound. Regrettably the pressures to grow are immense and not every performer leans into the next level well . Her performances of La Contessa are absurd really as the voice is too light. She is a committed actress yet this Violetta was just serviceable. She sounds like Oscar or Norina here.
