Anna Netrebko -Meine lippen sie kussen so heiss-wonderful

THE WHOLE OPERA GALA IS WONDERFUL, AS IS THE VENUE, THE fESTSPIELHAUS, BADEN BADEN, BUT ANNA NETREBKO`S ARIA FROM T HE LIGHT OPERA GIUDITTA BY FRANZ LEHAR, WAS SPECTACULAR, FUNNY AND ABSOLUTELY SPELLBINDING.I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. ANYBODY WHO LOVES OPERA WILL LOVE THIS DVD.

Whatever she wants...

This live recording of a performance in Baden-Baden in 2007 is just the thing for explaining to friends why you like beautiful singing and "the finer things in life." Nearly twenty arias, duets, and more provide a variety of great moments from favorite operas.

Anna Netrebko and Elina Garanca treat the audience to scenes from Bellini's Norma, and the hauntingly light and ethereal flower duet from Delibes' Lakme. Ramon Vargas and Ludovic Tezier follow with a deliriously successful rendition of the duet from The Pearl Fishers, and the audience goes wild with appreciation.

Among other delightful scenes is the "O soave fanciulla" duet from La Boheme, done lovingly by Vargas and Netrebko. Another unforgettable event was what I call the "through the window" quartet from Rigoletto, with Vargas crooning the "Bella figlia dell'amore." It is the juxtaposition of the two couples in the same scene that sets opera apart (and above?) the other arts, and they sing it so well here.

But for me, the best piece in the program is Anna Netrebko's "Meine Lippen, sie kussen so heiss" from Lehar's Giuditta. I thought her performance in the earlier Berlin concert could never again be equaled, but she outdoes herself here! When she reaches the part of the song telling of her beautiful mother, the dancer, Netrebko kicks off her shoes and whirls, dancing across the stage. How rarely do we see an opera singer who can not only sing and act, but is also graceful on her feet. As she delivers each line, she picks roses out of her bouquet and tosses them to members of the admiring audience. OK--I know some will say this is playing to the crowd, but when you're that beautiful, graceful, AND can sing so well--she can do whatever she wants!! It's a delightful concert. You'd enjoy inviting friends to watch it with you.

Now I know how the career of Elina Garanca is progressing having first seen her in Cardiff Singer of the World a few years ago. On this DVD all performers of the highest calibre for voice and personality. I can thoroughly recommend it.

One of the best concerts on DVD!!

I have a large opera collection and many of the opera gala concerts are enjoyed but aren't up to the caliber of singing in this terrific concert. First of all, it's a hit parade of arias and duets - you'll love all the selections chosen. The performance of all four is just the best in opera today; the men were in top voice, (Vargas best I've heard him in awhile) and the women spectacular! The other concert that I like as much as this is the one from Berlin with Domingo, Villazon, and Netrebko. That one is worth having just to hear and see Rolando who will not be singing until he recovers and rehabs from vocal surgery. Treat yourself and your friends to this video - makes a great gift too - it is highly recommended!! Four of the best singers in the opera world today in one great concert!
