- In a live, backstage interview, Karita Matilla does the splits for interviewer Renee Fleming during the first intermission of the Metropolitan Opera's Live HD transmission of Puccini's Manon Lescaut (2/16/08) Matilla then returned to the stage for Act II, doing her split just after hitting a high C.
Karita Mattila is a true embodiment of the word DIVA while remaining down to earth and approachable. So committed to all her roles whether it be Tosca, Manon, Salome, etc. Great acting, Spectacular soprano, what more could you want in an opera singer?
Tremendous singer & voice that I love.
i listened to those words a few times, and what i think she means is, after fleming says "i've never had to warm up splits in the dressing room", she reminds matilla that she should be warming up, and she says "they're about to come"- referring to the splits
Very impressive on both accounts!
The split was better than the C.
For a singer, it is way better the other way around.
Guys, it's not like hitting a high C is easy. Hers was just fine. Appreciate the fact that she tried and did quite well.
oh, i love her so much!
WOW!!! LOVE IT!!!!!
Oh JuillHope! You're simply fabulous!
I have never known that much about Karita Mattila, but after viewing this, her "cool factor" has gone up about 1000%.
Karita on yksi ! Hänen kaltaistaan ei ole toista, huumori taidot suuri tähti . Ihailen kovasti
That's the American mentality. Everything is about competition and technicalities.
I know! They're always a little unpredictable. There was a moment during the 'La Sonnambula' broadcast where someone evidently forgot to hand Deborah Voigt her cuecard and she was left staring at the camera for a good ten seconds.
As a Finn, I am so sorry. There was a time, when she had good taste.
LOL awesome!
La Flegming, how cute. Deborah Voigt did the same thing to Dessay during intermission. These gonzo-ambush interviews are so startling during the Met broadcast intermissions.
That high C sounds like she saw a big rat and got scared. Good splits though!!!
That's totally what I heard (lol)!!! I thought it was the combination of her accent and my having a dirty mind that made me hear stuff that wasn't really being said.
Hahahahahaha your comment actually made me laugh out loud. I love how you call her "La Fleming". Silly Renee, what are you doing? You are not Barbara Walters.
@whigwood I was wondering the same thing...
Did I hear it right at 0.18?
that was a high c?i thought it was higher
"goto41", it's a myth indeed. In facts people weight much more precisely and sensibly; they know that a soprano *has to* make beautiful high notes, and that she *has to* do all the rest as well. Taking high notes as "everything" (which NONE does) would be silly; taking it for nothing (which just a few "fast posters" are doing themselves and/or attributing to others) would be even more.

What do you mean,his a high C !
hahaha...yeah, that makes much more sense
@alemerent I agree,the high C,was not pleasing to my ears !
Im not crazy about her high C here.
quelle décontraction avant de chanter un opéra d'une telle intensité dramatique et musicale...épatant
I have to know what Karita says around 0:16, 0:17, because to me it sounds like she says something naughty
@AfroPoli Her C was fine. .___.
Silly. You dount have to be a trained dancer to do the splits you just have to be loose in the crouch.
rofl lol "loose in the crouch" lol
Doing a split after the high C,how tacky and inappropriate,and extremely out of character !
This is silly! Has nothing to do with the opera, the character, or the singing.
