Masterclasses of great TERESA BERGANZA from Tv Mezzo. Mary-Elisabeth Williams sings aria "Tacea la notte e placida" from Il trovatore by Giuseppe Verdi. Pianist: Jean-Marc Bouget TV MEZZO 2003
Thanks again! I just love Berganza'a teaching, so warm and enthusiastic, and her face! You can watch an entire opera in it! I have actually accompanied her once, in rehearsal for "La Cenerentola" in 1973, she was very tired and marked her part most of the time. Once, in the duet, she started singing with her voice, but in a lower key. As I happen to have perfect pitch, I picked up her key and played in it, and received quite a surprised glance from her!
Mais j'aime beaucoup cette voix et sa maîtrise est excellente. Teresa est une grande maestro. Splendide. En plus cette chanteuse respecte le texte musical, avec une diction parfaite .J'ai chanté beaucoup ce rôle et j'en connais les difficultés. Brava !
This video description is funny to me because Mary Elizabeth Williams isn't French at all. ...she's from Philly. In any case, she could be from the moon, she sounds great!
Sorry, I think you've got the title wrong for this aria. "Perchè piangete" etc. belongs to the later convent scene.Irmak31 is right, this is Leonora's first scene, her entrance aria: "Tacea la notte e placida". Anyway it is sung with such beauty and conviction by this young lady that Berganza is visibly moved, as are probably all the rest of us.
@joanabanyeres Ms. Williams has already debuted three grand dames of opera: Aida, Tosca and Leonora, from Il Trovatore. The role of Leonora has gotten to be a staple these days; she has performed it every season since 2007. Williams made her role and house debut in Il Trovatore with Kentucky Opera in 2007, and in 2008, on the very same set, only this time on a stage in Indianapolis! Last winter, Mary Elizabeth was honored to sing Leonora a third time with the Seattle Opera.
@joanabanyeres Last winter, Mary Elizabeth was honored to sing Leonora a third time with the Seattle Opera. She looks forward to continuting her Trovatore tradition in New Orleans in the Spring of 2011. Ms. Williams is also happy to report that she has more performances of Aida and Tosca on her calendar, in 2012 and beyond.
@@ccela1 I dilettanti come lei parlate per dire niente. Non mi sorprende il fatto che non sa di fare la differenza tra una vocalità pucciniana e una verdiana. Prego prima di sparare delle sentenze d’informarsi … il vecchio
@bodiloto Esatto. Stonato, un fiato corto, acuti strangolati... Molto pericoloso cantare cosi. É giovana, ma in 20 anni...?Poverina. Spero che trova presto un insegnante.
@BelleVoixClassique questa registrazione dal 2003 mostra un soprano che non sa cantare. Questo "canto" e degno della scuola media musicale,e ancora... dipende dal paese...
@@ccela1 Se sei d’origine francese questo fatto spiega la tua ignoranza. I giovani francesi avete delle bellissime voci, purtroppo la vostra scuola di canto lirico è un disastro totale. Questa è la mia modesta opinione. il vecchio

I sang with Mary-Elisabeth last Summer. She has grown into a wonderful dramatic soprano and is having a great career. And she deserves it!
Great teacher! The musicianship is outstanding.
Thanks for posting the video.

it´s aria of Leonora "Perche piangete?...Degg´io volgermi a Quei" from Il trovatore by Giuseppe Verdi :)
Merci. Sublime
7:31 Now THAT'S a back pocket.
Cette jeune chanteuse vibre comme un instrument .
It's the first aria sung by Leonora in Verdi's "Il Trovatore": "Tacea la notte placida".
Merci
@bodiloto Well she should sing Leonora, she has not a
Verdi voice, but she sings quite well.
Verdi voice, que veut cela dire ?...

What song is this and by whom please? Thank you.
She has some technical problems in the high notes, especially in the crescendos, but her pianissimi are wonderful!!
Quelqu'un peut me dire quel est ce morceau ?

Questa è l’aria dell’Ignoranza …
Studia , impara prima di sparare delle sentenze…

Commentaire prétentieux. Berganza est infiniment plus bienveillante !

Todos son buenos, pero la morenita está a un nivel claramente superior.
@rlee1976
Open up , what do you mean?
Cet air me fait penser à Candide, de Bernstein
Cunégonde, glitter and begay
Elle a beaucoup de musicalité pianissima, mais sur l'agilité des aigus, force un peu...
Not her repertoire, Verdi is for another type of voice.
Which one ?
@@ccela1 ,big and dramatic
Un po calante..
