IT'S 1985 FOR GOD'S SAKE...NO ONE KNEW WHAT THEY WERE WEARING!!! LOL! The singing sublime! I just heard her in München 10.03 and she sounded incredible!!!! Fabulous Eb!!!
Fantastic Performance! This operatic performance of Edita Gruberova was from "Gala of Stars 1986" hosted by Beverly Sills and conducted by James Levine, and this 3 and a half hour special aired as part of the conclusion of KPBS San Diego's Festival '86 (March 1986 Membership Campaign), Circa Sunday March 16th, 1986!! TV Worth Watching and TV Worth Paying For!!
I love Edita singing this song and she brings so much character to the role. Definitely one of her signatures and Maestro Levine is such a fun conductor. For those bashing the dress, get over it. It was the 80's. Otherwise, Gruberova was in prime voice and I've never heard a better interpretation.
I love it!!! and I also love the fact that one of the greatest coloraturas of the century hosted a show with one more of the greatest coloraturas of the century!
For someone who has seen the opera (Dallas 08-09 season) and gone through the score numerous times, yes the "laughing song" pushes up to an Eb and resolves in Ab major. :)
Goodness, she has an interesting movement style, doesn't she? Truly, undeniably unique. And what a voice! Also seems to have a fun sense of humor and timing. :)
Lucrezia is nothing compared to when she used to sing F# like they were nothing, but giving that she is close to almost 60 I still love her hefty Eb's! Did she also sing Norma opposite Elina Garanca this season?

I came here too, after listening to Florence Foster Jenkins. Sure, this voice is better but I feel more emotion/feeling in Florence's interpretation (not a joke)!
She is an angel!*
And the last high note?
Just lovely and perfect!
Love you*
Those were the days.....La Gruberova ruled and I adoooored her in this part.
Beautiful!!!!!

Absolutely the best interpretation of the laughing song. I mean she ACTUALLY laughs during the song.
STAGGERING!! This is true perfection... Perfect expression, perfect laughing! Thank you so much for sharing the clip!!
She's truly one of the Queens of Coloratura! Fantastic! =)
Man I fall to pieces every time from 3:20 to the end. And I've never heard a high D sung with such fearlessness before!!! Love you Gruberova!!
Edita's rendition is superb. Absolutely agree she is among the very best singers.

Iconic and beautiful
Om My God!!!! what a performance! I enjoyed so much, the best i have heard from this one... bravisimo!!
We loved her voice and her dress :-)
Очень техничная груберова, просто восторг!

that was absolutely fabulous
You can't help but smile with this one, it's so merry!
She is quite the comedienne! One wouldn't know it by all of her "mad" roles but she truly excels as Zerbinetta, Maria and Adele!
It doesn't get any better. Brava!!!!!!
her dress, her hairdo... 80's Diva!!!
Edita is one of the greats. She belongs in the pantheon of the greatest opera singers. I doubt if any dare challenge my assertion.
She is just wonderful!
I love it!!! and I also love the fact that one of the greatest coloraturas of the century hosted a show with one more of the greatest coloraturas of the century!
Thanks! They were my high school and college years so I know all about those expressive costumes & 'dos!
Realmente era perfecta en todo sentido. Pese a quien le pese... Gruberova canto todo con sublime perfeccion. Y los testimonios sobran a patadas
Her singing was so amazing, I forgot about the dress!
THE BEST ✨ !!!! BRAVISSIMA ✨❤✨
You have to listen to her singing the Alleluya Chorus from The Messiah! her runs are perfection, truly heavenly..
Super!!!!!!
I really don't mind her dress at all, I really like this rendition and her voice, the end.
fantástica!!! gracias por compartir este viedo.

May she rest in peace.
Goodness, she has an interesting movement style, doesn't she? Truly, undeniably unique. And what a voice! Also seems to have a fun sense of humor and timing. :)
in fact she is over 60, to be more exact 63 and her voice is still powerful and stable :)
RiP Edita Gruberova 😢😢😢😢😢
never mind tha fashion sense, i love her laugh! the song is perfectly expressed!
Yes, the Laughing Song only goes up that high but she sang an Eb in Lucrezia Borgia in March.
I think the voice definitely overshadows the unmistakeable 80s hair and dress x
Brava, Madame!
Superb
❤❤
Have a look at the very first live TV-production from Sydney Opera house, Fledermaus, Laughing song, Monique Brynnel
Гениальная Эдита.
Have fun with it and best of luck with that audition.
It was THE 80'S!
I like her!!
bravaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Is that Sheldon Cooper playing the Oboe?
the costume is funny as hell! and the Lady D hairdo. Grubi's great, too. Never was a coloratura she didn't rock.
she was kind of cute back then - she is absolutely stunning right now
Den har set på danske på Ddet Ny Teater i Københaven-M.V.B..
It looks like she is wearing one of those ab belts you see on infomercials!
bravissima
she's sure no Florence Foster Jenkins
It was the 80's for god's sake - I'm sure you could find some really nice pics of you or your parents from that time!
When I see this, I feel like Diana Damrau got a lot of her inspiration from Gruberova. Her humor and style is very similar. Very lovely!
Aw, you also found that they both are pretty similar. :) I think they're both awesome
"Mein Herr Marquis" by Bonnie Tyler :)
😂 You're right, she really looks like her! Good one!
At least one of the comments refers to the beauty of Gruberova's siging and not on the way she was dressed. Thanks!
Great!:)
my friend is going to sing this song to get into a special high school thats in Baltimore i think
Jeg har den på danske med Githa hybru på danske dvd film
If Strauss doesn't put you in the mood for the ball, then i don't know what will :P
She'll be 63 this December!!!!!
Don't know if Ms. Garanca will sing Adalgisa.
i stood on top of a stool and i still cannot reach the high notes. :(
çok güzeldi muhteşem
I bet it would now!
smashing!
i think she belongs in the 1600 hundreds! there just something about her face and nose! Perfect;y adorable!
Lucrezia is nothing compared to when she used to sing F# like they were nothing, but giving that she is close to almost 60 I still love her hefty Eb's!
Did she also sing Norma opposite Elina Garanca this season?
is that itzhak perlman on the podium?
The magic happens after 3:17
Edit:
Magic = 3:22
wooooo
@operadude32 The hairdo reminds me of Bonnie Tyler LOL.. gotta love the 80s
@ajb1776 Did she died?
SHE BETTER SANG!
Always will be a "better one"... but this one is very good by it self.
IT'S 1985. NO ONE KNEW WHAT THEY WERE WEARING!!! lol!

what's up with the caps? are you illustrating a mad scene?
As does mine - Schirmer score that is.
Cultura Alemanha e outra coisa
hahaha, some bunch of queens here, discussing fashion...
Poor thing. But she's just so much fun to listen to the tragedy of the dress can be overlooked. :)
3:21
she looks like a pink football player with that dress
She didn't even come close to Jenkins' . :D
boy oh boy...maybe that dress is whats making her go hahahaha
Mein herr marquis
Put The Donald in drag and they'd be twins and no offense intended to Ms Gruberova
Now that is some good German. I hate when songs get translated.

Timo Herrmann you’ve got to be kidding...
Cool but its not rolling in the deep adele hey
OK, so in what way does the costume make the music here?? who the heck cares about the darn costume ???
no, it's the coiffure………
whoa. what a visually assaulting dress.
A good example of hideous clothing happening to great singers lol
what does she wear? what in hell is that?
