This is absolutely outstanding. Only a truly great singer can risk to act like Olympia, the Doll in a bel canto mad scene. The effect of madness, despair and waiver is remarkable. Top notch singing from a great soprano.
This shook me to the core. Her Lucia was always my favorite too. But I had NEVER seen this. Oh my god, she sounds f*ckn incredible and she’s sure as hell in the moment- she’s a Queen 👑
Ésta si que es una verdadera Elisabetta en su justa medida, sin empalagar ni sin quedarse corta en la interpretación....con una fantástica facilidad para los agudos que en ésta obra son difíciles y que decir que pocas sopranos como la Gruberova cumplen con el agudo final como tiene que ser.... pienso a gusto personal que esta grabación de Roberto Devereux es la mejor que se ha hecho por el momento, todos son buenos actores y buenos cantantes, buena orquesta y buena escenografía....
She is wonderfull to watch and listen to. I saw her in Covent Garden many years ago in Lucia, the tenor was Luis Lima,early 80/s I think. She brought the house down after the mad scene.
Cette femme est une merveille absolue! Sa scène finale de Roberto Deveureux en concert, de 2017 à 72 ans, est une leçon de chant basée sur une technique inouïe, la voix est encore invraisemblable, puissante, d'une expressivité à couper le souffle, elle prend des risques qu'aucune actuellement n'oserait prendre, même les plus grandes, qui feraient bien de s'en inspirer, pour peut-être un jour être son ombre.
Sólo espero que en esta o en la proxima generacion de sopranos de coloratura dramatica APAREZCA alguna sucesora con una voz tan brillante, ductil y con un registro y musicalidad asombrosas como la de Edita Gruberova...
Pero también que tenga la fortuna que Gruberova no tuvo: estudiar Arte Dramático...en general los y las cantantes de Ópera no nos hemos caracterizado por ser bueno o " por lo menos decentes actores (SIN SOBREACTUAR COMO EN ESTE VIDEO)...sin mencionar lo musical...!!
@@xavierbarcelo916el teatro es casi siempre un poco "sobreactuado " , y la ópera no deja de ser una obra de teatro cantada. Y en cuanto a la Gruberova... es perfecta en esta escena de locura. Pocas se le acercan en esta opera. Al final todos los cantantes brillan mas en unas operas que en otras, pero hay que reconocer que en escenas de "locura", la Gruberova es magnifica.
@@crazyorganist1609 I agree that Beverly Sills was the best dramatic actress. She was THE Elisabetta. Unfortunately she was no longer there when Edita still was and Edita was amazing in this role!
Edita Gruberova is one of the best sopranos ever. Her voice is simply spectacular. Still with 64 y.o. !!!! This has not discusion. I saw this performance in Munich 2007 and when someone decide to stay stand and ovation for more than 30 min. is for something special. I never saw something similar with nobody at any opera theather. It wasn't the 'crazy fans', was the whole theather. Incredible. Brava!
You are lucky to have witnessed history in the making. Today, that very performance is played in HD at theaters around the world for audiences to enjoy one of the BEST ever recorded!!!
Brava! Brillante!!!! Esto demuestra que la ópera es bastante más que simples notas y registro (que lo es): es interpretación, presencia, bravura y entrega escénica! En todo eso Gruberova es impresionante! Una verdadera leyenda! Más que merecida ovación y reconocimiento!!!! Es absolutamente emocionante!
Well, opera is singing + acting. Ideally they should be in balance and one shouldn't overshadow the other. But in this performance Gruberova has to put her acting in front cause she can't sing this anymore. This role very, very heavy. Vocally, no 50+ year old can do it justice. Nonetheless, her performance is exciting, dramatic and draws you in. She obviously likes the role, theaters and the audience seem ok with it. So more power to her :)
Gruberova's voice is naturally past its prime at this point, but it offers a unique interpretation of the aged Elizabeth. Really my favorite interpretation of this aria.
Inegalabila, splendida, tulburatoare interpretarea! Voce dumnezeiasca, joc de scena impecabil. Regie inteligenta, costume perfecte. In acest rol Gruberova imi pare a fi o Bette Davies a scenei lirice.
Poor Elizabeth I. Donizetti really was beyond unfair to her. Still, this and Maria Stuarda are two of my favorite operas. Gruberova is an absolute powerhouse. Simply Marvelous!
One of the greatest Bel Canto legends of all time... She was a power house and an astounding coloratura ... shame about the hideous, pretentious staging and production .... and I wanted to slap that guy at the end
Molto rispetto per una carriera così lunga ed una tenuta vocale. Ma queste note così fisse.... "" il saaaaaangue versato... sono orribili a mio parere. La migliore in questo ruolo è stata la Gencer.punto
Grand performance by Gruberova, singing & acting role of Elizabeth. Who is the young man in role of the young King James? His smile/smirk seems to allude to his avenging his mother's (Mary, Queen of Scots) death by acceding Elizabeth's throne....
Je n'aime pas particulièrement son timbre de voix ,mais il faut avouer qu'elle est extraordinaire dans ce rôle .Elle investit complètement le personnage de façon très crédible par son talent d'actrice et aussi et surtout par sa technique vocale prodigieuse de la coloratura dramatique .Donc bravo : meilleure interprète de ce rôle si difficile .
Her voice is incredibly bright, although, of course, past its best. And even she doesn't display a serviceable low register for this part, it´s very impressinve piece of singing!
Edita's best recorded version of Roberto Devereux finale should be the one in 1990 in Spain, with the same staging as Weidinger. Somehow that video was deleted. In that performance, she gained incredible power in her voice and the last eb3 was sustained for NINE seconds!!! The audience got totally crazy after that!!!
Watch Roberto Devreaux from 1990!!!! This is most probably the best rendition ever. Even the superba Sutherland, Caballe and also Domingo were in the audience...
She is amazing, comparing singers is just crazy... Her voices is beautiful forget the flaws I think she has theee most beautiful voice I have ever heard, she makes violines sound terrible and she overpowers tgem with her magnificent voice.
göttliche Edita es gibt unzählige interpretinen der königin elisabeth.Alle entzuecken,erfreuen,sind gut sogar sehr gut.DU aber lässt mich vergessen,daß es sich um einer opernrolle handelt.Ich konnte Dir zuhöre(zusehen) unendlich lange
J'ai beaucoup d'admiration pour Mme Gruberova, mais ses Donizetti sont funestes: certes la voix est encore très spectaculaire, mais les maniérismes, les portamenti, etc tout cela est insupportable, sans parler de la cruauté de la caméra qui dévoilant les gestes techniques et un jeu de cinéma muet nous donne l'impression d'être dans une pantomime grotesque. En salle peut-être...mais à l'écran c'est intolérable, risible.
El Roberto de Barcelona del año 90 es el mejor! Tenia con un estado vocal INALCANZABLE para cualquier otra soprano!!Nadie la supera! Sin duda la Reina es Edita !!
Yes, of course, the entourage would be walking around dressed in ill fitting suits and drab ties. One does at court. Especially in those days when rings were carried around to obtain mercy. Gruberova saves this frumpy production, as great singers always do. Have to, it seems.
I enjoyed her rendition of Elizabeth. I find Roberto Devereux to be my least favorite bel canto opera. There are many beautiful pieces in it, but it isn't very interesting due to it's long stretches of slow music. Edita brings a believable quality to the role of the old queen, because she herself is actually older in this recording. Vocally, she is beautiful, but you can hear the years on it. Her acting made this amazing, she took more of a dramatic standpoint rather than vocal. I've seen many who merely sung the role, but not feel. Edita and Sandra Radvanovsky reign in this role. Amazing!
This is absolutely outstanding. Only a truly great singer can risk to act like Olympia, the Doll in a bel canto mad scene. The effect of madness, despair and waiver is remarkable. Top notch singing from a great soprano.
I watched her live in Vienna singing this aria in the 1990‘s! She was electrifying! Unforgettable performance!
Я в шоке! Это фантастика! Браво!
R.I.P. Great Edita.
Edita!!! Siempre te seguí y eras inconmensurable, había Arias que solo vos las podías realizar, QUE EN PAZ DESCANSES!, y gracias por tanto 😭
Супер! Лучшая Дива!
This shook me to the core. Her Lucia was always my favorite too. But I had NEVER seen this. Oh my god, she sounds f*ckn incredible and she’s sure as hell in the moment- she’s a Queen 👑

Esto es arte como maestro d no decir: trabajo logrado!! Mis felicitaciones Sra grubevora
Totalmente de acuerdo! Todo es extraordinario. Versión muy difícil de superar!!! Para encuadrar y conservar
Brava, Gruberova! You are marvelous in this role!
Me emociona y estremece!!!, No solo su voz, si no que lo acompaña con sus expresiones, FELICITACIONES!!! EXCELSO!!!
Great operatic theater! Non-traditional performance perhaps, but I was hanging on every phrase and every note. LOVE it.
She is wonderfull to watch and listen to.
I saw her in Covent Garden many years ago in
Lucia, the tenor was Luis Lima,early 80/s I
think. She brought the house down after the mad scene.
Maravilloso, un regalo para los sentidos.
Dear Edita..I miss you so much..
She looks and sounds crazy! Completely amazing!!

Indeed!

Eine der wunderbarsten Stimmen des Jahrhunderts ist für immer verstummt. Dank für viele Stunden Musik, Gefühl, Perfektion und Schönheit!
Rest in Peace, dear Edita.We will never forget you.
marvellous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Singing opera on stage means acting too,Never seen anybody else as moving as Mme Gruberova.Love this scene
R.I.P.... there are many outstanding Queens of the Night. But this... THIS! is divine.... so grateful to have heard and seen her as Elisabetta!
Marcus .. thank you… I live in Munich and a friend brought me in the Opera … this was my first opera experience .. and since that ..
I am about to go mad. Gruberova is a great actress and a singer.
Respect. Very few can do what she does here at 59. Great artist.
Superb singing Edita Gruberova! Brilliance in her voice and drama!!!
I truly believe Edita owns this role. Brings me to tears of amazement and emotion...
Sills owns it .
@@crazyorganist1609Sills owns nothing.
@Feisenbachin this case she does
A glorious aria, sung majestically. She's such an expressive singer. Thank you for posting this video.
Brilliant.

I will never get tired of watching this scene. She will be ever "the queen".
That honour goes to Beverly Sills. She was a better dramatic actress

+swearty203 ABSOLUTELY!!!!
Saw her yesterday! The best performance i ve ever seen in opera!! Edita , the bariton and the mezzo were amazing!
Oh wow. The last high note reminds me of her vocal glory.
It reminds me of stepping on a kitten ;D
@@aidepaul534 Perfect!!
Despite of her unique singing I adore Gruberova for being a wonderful person as well. I found here very kind and friendly.
Mature, refined and expressive artistry. Should be an inspiration for younger artists!

Она божественна♥️
In my opinion I like her choice of this role (old lady role :)
This is a perfect role for a mature voice and Gruberova sings and acts it to the max. 5 stars for Edita!

First explain me what inspired the almost spitting image of Angela Merkel to be part of this nonsence besides Michael...
baha!! i was thinkin that too. 0:41
Beverly Sills is so much better in this role!
I never thought Sills would be threatened on this role, but here she is.
Watch Roberto Devreaux from 1990!!!! This is most probably the best rendition ever. Even the superba Sutherland, Caballe and also Domingo were in the audience...

pobre Edita que ya le tocó hacer de Isabel I de Inglaterra vestida como si fuera una señora de la alta sociedad de cuatro siglos después 😲
Muy bien cantado,pero en está repertorio como Caballe ninguna

THIS is a Superlative performance by Ms Gruberova. This spectacular role has now been made her own signature role af them all.
Long live Edita!
Perfetta per Mozart...il repertorio italiano non le si addice....come attrice abbastanza ridicola....
Unwatchable and unlistenable. Why doesn't such a great opera star realise it's time to retire? Kitch, pathetique, sad.
