      Giustissimo, le sue note suonano da un’altro mondo quello dei dilettanti.
      Lei purtroppo non ha la minima idea cosa è la vera arte lirica .
      Questa è una vocalità degna del Conservatorio degli anni 80 e ancora …

      L’impostazione poco professionale della sua voce .
      Penceva come giovane aveva una bella voce del mezzosoprano vero, purtroppo le sue conoscenze sulla tecnica e l’impostazione erano molto discutibili…
      La prova ?
      1 l’impostazione poco professionale della sua voce nel medium e nel registro acuto .
      2 è una cosa di avere di natura una voce bella è completamente altra di aumentare la bellezza della propria voce appoggiandosi sulla tecnica .

      Elena Nicolai, Penka Dilova, Boika Kosseva, Zorova etc… erano dal vivo anni luce migliori della Penceva .

    Actually the part originally called for a fortune teller in Sweden. I am not racist or stereotyping, but there were not many Swedish blacks in 1792. The reason Verdi had to change it was that Roman censors did not want to show King Gustavo (an actual king) getting killed, due to some political motives. After, he had to change it so that it was based in Boston around the end of the 1700's and had to use Riccardo as the name for the title and Madame Arvidson for Ulrica.
