Three Netrebko videos... "Quando m'en vo" ("Musetta's Waltz") from Puccini's La Boheme (Not such a great aria for a concert performance; you really need the staging for it to come across, but she sings it nicely.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWnWivspwRE "Sempre libera" from Verdi's Traviata (From the new Met modern-dress production--a rather outre interpretation of Violetta, but it shows off her acting ability.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFJJ1zFBWgY&feature=endscreen&NR=1 "Mad Scene" from Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor (Lucia has just killed her bridegroom. A conventional production, but the staging of this scene is excellent, and her performance is blood-chilling. It's a long scene, over 10 minutes.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZX2r8ps9pUg --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "emptybill" <emptybill@...> wrote: > > > Hah!
