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!!!
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 👑
I watched her live in Vienna singing this aria in the 1990‘s! She was electrifying! Unforgettable performance!
marvellous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Singing opera on stage means acting too,Never seen anybody else as moving as Mme Gruberova.Love this scene
Rest in Peace, dear Edita.We will never forget you.
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 ..
Respect. Very few can do what she does here at 59. Great artist.
Eine der wunderbarsten Stimmen des Jahrhunderts ist für immer verstummt. Dank für viele Stunden Musik, Gefühl, Perfektion und Schönheit!
C'est stupéfiant de beauté, de perfection, d'émotion, de justesse, de jeu......... C'est EDITA GRUBEROVA at all ! Merci MADAME !
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...
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
@@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!
Leb wohl Edita und ruhe in Frieden. Danke für alles, was du uns geschenkt hast!
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 !!
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.
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 😭
Great operatic theater! Non-traditional performance perhaps, but I was hanging on every phrase and every note. LOVE it.
Saw her yesterday! The best performance i ve ever seen in opera!! Edita , the bariton and the mezzo were amazing!
A glorious aria, sung majestically. She's such an expressive singer. Thank you for posting this video.
Despite of her unique singing I adore Gruberova for being a wonderful person as well. I found here very kind and friendly.
OUTSTANDING performance! Absolutely breathtaking. Thanks for the upload.
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...
Supuestamente era Diana D. Pero nada que ver, yo supongo ya fue, la ópera ha muerto.
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.
She is so brave to do that scene. Amazing!
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!
Me emociona y estremece!!!, No solo su voz, si no que lo acompaña con sus expresiones, FELICITACIONES!!! EXCELSO!!!
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....
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!
Yaaaaaas that wig snatch. Michelle Visage is living!
Terrance Xu DON'T SNATCH YOUR WIG IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANOTHER ONE UNDERNEATH. ROXXXY ANDREWS IS ANGRY.
This is a perfect role for a mature voice and Gruberova sings and acts it to the max. 5 stars for Edita!
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.
I am about to go mad. Gruberova is a great actress and a singer.
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!
Фантастическое исполнение! Нет слов...
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.
Fantastisch Grandiose Königliche Edita Gruberova diese Stimme geht unter die Haut
Это божественно! Браво, Эдита! ❤❤🎉
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!
She is crazy...I love her!
PERFECT! SO DRAMATIC!
Maravilloso, un regalo para los sentidos.
Edita!!! God save the Queen!
Fantastic!!!! She's wonderful!!!!
you took my breath away!
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!
bravo edita i love you
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 .
Edita Gruberova.....Ihre Stimme macht mich glücklich,Ihr schauspielerisches Talent begeistert mich.Unvergässlich als Gilda .Für mein Geschmack,die beste.
R. I. P. Edita Gruberová... such a sad day!
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!!!
Она божественна♥️
Que tremenda.....Brava!
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.
The best version i've heard so far.
@@sgsmozart there's a rendition in absolutely love. So full of dramatic power
fantastica... the best soprano coloratura
viva gruberova...
Das wurde perfect gemacht!
Wie dramatisch siet Sie aus.
La Regina é morta. RIP Edita x
Gorgeous! Worthy of Beverly Sills. Fantastic performance.
Brava!!!! Brava!!!!!!
Einfach grandios - perfekt!
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...
In my opinion I like her choice of this role (old lady role :)
Quanti anni sono passati! È rimasta eccezionale.
ridicola affermazione ma come fa a dire una cosa del genre ma hai le orecchie?
Mandolino82 In realtà penso che lei sia come il tifoso di calcio, che straparla dalla poltrona e non sa calciare nemmeno le cicche per strada.
Riccardo Barreca
amico, queste parole tue mi fanno paura...
se Tu,l'uomo appassionato della vera lirica italiana dici cito:
- È rimasta eccezionale.
fine citazione,allora io il vecchio baritono verdiano ti rispondo:
- qua Gruberova e semplicemente inascoltabile .
questa è la mia modesta opinione .
ah,una domanda sola con stima e rispetto umano, dimmi per favore cosa di ''eccezionale'' trovi Tu in questa vocalità orrenda ?
ciao .
5:05: Absolutely fabulous !!!
Heard that tone live in Munich yesterday, BRAVA, BRAVA, BRAVA, BRAVA, BRAVA !!!
im amazed....hers and caballes are my favorites
wow. amazing rendition!!! Pure Theatre !!!
Sublime pour toujours.
RIP REGINA! 💔
Great Performance !
She owns this role
Amazing!
Brilliant.
Sin duda alguna, un genio de la voz
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

Господи! Какое чудо!!!
Mature, refined and expressive artistry. Should be an inspiration for younger artists!
Danke .. Danke… Danke
Fantastic..superlative!
Really DREADFUL!
Преклоняюсь перед талантом Эдиты Груберовой!!!! Я ей лично благодарна за то, услышав однажды ее голос в Травиате. я полюбила оперу на всю оставшуюся жизнь!!! Это было великолепно и незабываемо!!! Всегда сравниваю всех певиц с ней!!! Многие проигрывают!!!)))) Обожаю ее!!!
I am gonna be there (again :))) ) for all 3! :)
Danke schön !
booked for the 8 of march! cant wait!
the best ever !! prodigieux
Чудо!!!Как хороша!!!🙏👏👍😇💐💐💐
Immensa!
What a gift, what a wonderful gift.
Omg she is not human! She is a goddess,😍😱
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.
Outstanding!
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 :)
+swearty203 ... Well, she';s not precisely 30 years old, but her singing is still astonishing.
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.
