Sonya Yoncheva sings the title character’s Act II aria in the final dress rehearsal. Production: Sir David McVicar. Conductor: Emmanuel Villaume. 2017-18 season.
I just saw her this afternoon. Its been a long long time since I have seen a Tosca played with such depth and passion. After a few years ago's modern version of Tosca - this was a beautiful blessing. The stage scenes were amazing and I could actually feel tosca's hatred for the pig police lieutenant and her love for her painter lover. Sonya Yoncheva was absolutely amazing...Cant wait to see her in La Boheme.
It seems this remarkable lady can turn her wonderful voice to almost anything right now. What an exciting prospect she is - have seen her 5 or 6 times now at Covent Garden (Antonia, Norma, Marguerite, Michaela etc.) and each time she has blown the audience away with her bright and excitingly edgy yet beautiful tone. However, I do SO hope she is not doing too much too quickly and learning too many roles. Time to consolidate now and perfect, perfect, perfect and PROTECT. The MET and her management MUST work with her to protect this most wonderful instrument from overuse and over extension too quickly. What a devastating loss it would be if her voice were to develop problems and cause her early decline. Back to UK ASAP please, Sonya. We adore you!
I would agree with her Michaela, her fantastic Marguerite- the Antonia was ok- but Norma was a mistcast. Its so sad- she sings a repertoire which is doesnt suit her- Ich befürchte die Party wird bald vorbei sein...Schade
I have been on a Tosca TH-cam spree. So far, no performer has moved me on this aria like Maria Callas has. But I must say, this lady here is pretty good. She has a great voice and technique, and by the ending, she managed to loosen up from focusing too much on the technique and actually connect emotionally to the song. When she shed that tear it felt pretty real.
If you are still on that Tosca TH-cam spree, you might like this audio recording with Corelli,Price and MacNeil. I have only done half of the subtitles but I will probably get it all done within 1-2 weeks from today 👍
Well, they are two different parts which need two different voices.I don't find her "ready" and there are points in which in the registration seems to lack energy and "espressione". I hope I'll have the change to listen her Tosca live and make a myself a real opinion because registrations are not the best way to judge a singer.Tonight I'll see her at Teatro alla Scala for the general rehearsal of Bellini's "Il pirata" and I lvoed her twice for last year's "La bohème" :)
Beautiful Tosca! Regret to read the systemic negative trolling below. It does not matter one little bit for those who witnessed the magic yesterday . What an amazing performance!
This is a magnificent rendering of this most famous of arias in the most iconic role Tosca, although I haven’t seen the whole performance of the opera yet- I’m saving it for when I go onto Met on demand- I am mightily impressed. Like a lot of other comments have said her voice has a lovely dark rich quality which really does remind you of Callas. Having said that Yoncheva is a superb soprano in her own right, and just hearing her sing this aria makes me forget all the terrible atmosphere and woes of our current situation. Once we get through this dark period I will look forward to getting the chance to see her live at the opera again. Let’s all keep listening to these wonderful videos. Long live opera, long live TH-cam.
I don't get it. Some people can talk about the woman like she's nothing. Callas got some tears out of me with this one, but this woman FAR SURPASSED the emotion brought with Callas. The orchestra actually had to wait for her to get her composure. She really was crying. FABULOUS
La voz de la soprano Sonya Yoncheva cantando este fragmento de Tosca, me recuerda mucho el timbre de la ya desaparecida Maria Callas. La intensidad y sentimiento de su fraseo, respirando pausada y con técnica, logra también una perfecta vocalización, ninguna nota se le quiebra ni siquiera en el agudo final. Creo que con su canto, Sonya Yoncheva le rinde un admirable tributo a su antecesora.
I saw her in this role in January and she was fantastic. She 100% consciously channeled 60's Callas in this role and I didn't mind it (it's the only era of hers that people can try to impersonate, ya can't impersonate 50's Callas...just can't be done). Her Violetta was better than the Met's had in a good while. She's taking on Cherubini's Medea within the year so I definitely think Callas's influence is felt through her which I appreciate and just hope she doesn't spread herself too thin.
Beautiful singing! I liked this better on my second listen than the first. I can feel the emotion. If you can’t, try just listening. Inside the Met she should sound fantastic. I’ll be there in a few weeks!
Just listened to Netrebko sing this aria then came across this recording of Sonya's and how fresh and uncontrived it sounds by comparison. Quite moving and beautiful.
a little colors of callas or an imitation of callas natural voice and then,people got crazy about new sopranos!! let maria callas rest in peace please!!once and for all!! thanks!!
Love youtube "experts" who say she's taking on too much too soon. She's in her late 30s, about the same age every famous Tosca who ever sang the part sang wa. Is she just supposed to sing Mimi forever? And maybe people should get out and actually attend the opera instead of giving themselves authorities based on recordings of Callas in relation to videos of Yoncheva on youtube from an HD broadcast. We are, I assume, talking about a living art form. Also in case anyone has actually bothered to attend opera in the past century, the last Tosca productions were premiered by Hildegard Behrens and Karita Mattila respectively and revivals were populated by the likes of Urmana, Racette, Malfitano, and late Vaness. Anyone who can say in all sincerity that those women were better Tosca's than what is in this video clearly don't care about music as such. ALL of those ladies had problems with the notes and none of them had anything remotely resembling the style, which Yoncheva audibly does.
can people let callas rest in peace?any new soprano is compare to callas!!callas was unique in so many ways. read the book about her by her husband meneghinni thats a good description of voice,talent,hard work and ambition. let maria callas rest in peace for once and for all!!
God all these comments about how this role is wrong or right for her... everybody has a different opinion about every singer, i should know. Truth is, some people just tell their opinion though they don’t have ANY IDEA how to actually sing. Unfortunately, these people are often opera directors, too. Says how wrong the world is. I think that people should sing roles that suit them. Of course, there are Fachs, but some roles can be sung by different kinds of voices (of course I’m not saying that a Königin der Nacht can sing Walküre, but lirico, lirico-spinto...really ??) All I see and hear is that Yoncheva sings this beautifully with a musicality that begins to be rare these days and that she gave me freaking goosebumps (am I the only one who saw that she actually shed a tear ??) anyways, please stop saying “she is this or that so she couldn’t sing this or that”. Isn’t it all about music ? You could say “I don’t like her in this role because....” or “I prefer this other singer” but please stop trying to say that you know the whole truth. Because the whole truth is that no one has no fucking idea. Please feel concerned if you feel concerned. I’m not pointing fingers. I love music. Peace.
No you're not the only one. That sweet face twisted when the pain was realized, then that one teardrop on her right cheek. I'm hooked. Nobody like her. (she got more than one teardrop out of me)
Can someone please tell me who this is? Thanks! Frustrating that if you're trying to learn about Opera they don't tell you who the singer is. Some of the comments say it is Sonia but I don't know who that is. Thank you if anyone can help!
at least they had great drama tics voices!!thats exactly what we lacking today!!*in any repertoire!! verdi o pucci ni,wagner and the others give me brake homo.

ponselle was very good in traviata!!there is her live performance from 1935!! and she was a dramatic soprano with a great colo ratura technique,but!!she never,ever sang puccini like the great italian drama tic soprano anita cerquetti who wants to sings traviata and never did,because her weight!!then came caballe who was bigger!!hello?and sang violeta succesfully!! cerquetti like ponselle never ever sang puccini.
As much as i love Angela Gheorghiu's singing voice, i have to admit that her version to this aria is seriously lacking for some reason but that this singer has totally nailed it. 10/10 easily ...
She appears to be standing very far to STAGE RIGHT (that's Audience Left!) Perhaps the stereo effect is emphasizing her stage position, which would put most of her voice primarily on the LEFT speaker, perhaps your speakers are connected backwards?
what about callas low register?those cavernous dramatic,powerful!!resonant low notes?you can find those notes in parsifal or in la gioconda!!middle and low register are important too!! no only the high notes!!high notes are for ignorant peo ple!!
Дорогие друзья меломаны и любители оперы!!! Вам не показалось что пение Сони Енчевой в этой арии очень напоминает Марию К.? Как будто по пластинке учила партию.
Да, что-то есть. Включил тихо на фоне, показалось, что видео переключилось. Что-то есть в тембре и манере. Мб учила по записям Каллас и скопировала манеру
Александр Усачев здравствуйте, не в обиду памяти Марии К. Но как сказал про неё Николай Гедда :-Как горячая картошка во рту!!! Звук как будто в щеках путается, или щеки резонируют. На мой слух у обеих одинаково.
У Каллас были недостатки в голосе, но все же она гениальная певица, у нее ясно слышна старая школа бельканто, которой больше практически никто не обладает. Слышал у итальянских басов и баритонов, и то немногих
Александр Усачев о!!!! Да вы уже не спите!!!! У нас в Новосибирске 6.35 утра. На счёт её школы мне трудно говорить, я очень мало божественную Марию слушал. Хотя по мнению одной " специалистки" вокал её"" сплошная" химия", всё на горле. Но по сути она уникальный исполнитель. Три голоса в одной глотке как говорили её современники.
Really? Have you listened to all records or all live shows from all times? And are you sure not to sing the whole signor is not a choice? I'm astonished how people can come up with statements like yours...
i means no offence to you in particular,if i offended you in a way,please accept my apology. the name of your web.is homoclassic,i just shorter the name some how,but means no offence to you at all.please accept my apology.happy new year!!
i like bigger voices for tosca than her!!in no time she is going to loose her voice if she is keeping tosca and others dramatics roles in her repertoire!!. remember the sad case of the italian essentially lyric soprano katia. ricciarelli,von karajan destroid her voice or she died on herself!!
Magnificently performed not only vocally but in terms of expressing the raw emotion too.
Amazing
She is perfect! I was there, she touched my soul and made me cry.
Then I told her and thanked for her performance.
Jose’ you were so lucky to have been there!! God bless you, Sir!
I just saw her this afternoon. Its been a long long time since I have seen a Tosca played with such depth and passion. After a few years ago's modern version of Tosca - this was a beautiful blessing.

I'm back again. Can't get enough . How I love the pain.
I was there last night this Woman is a vocal beast
She is a beast here. The voice the acting
Amazing
For me this is the most beautiful and best rendition of the song I have heard. Its made me cry. Bravo.x

NEIN... kann und soll nicht sein! :(
Like Levine did to Scotto?
please don't criticize opera through a video.opera is meant to be experienced live.anything else cannot even reflect the live performance.
She breaths every other second and it's so high.
Beautifully sung and wonderfully acted. What more can you want?!
Браво! Великолепно изпълнение.

try Angela gheorghiu at the ROH . Divine !
Generic waffle. You don't know squat about opera.
La Callas la divina..prima al mondo ..la Garifullina è la seconda..voce forte e bella.
@@araucariapasquale1 I am with you. ( "Pretty") as he would say, arrogant.
She was fabulous last year in Traviata. She should be great in Tosca as well.
theoldar, YES THE HELL SHE WAS!!!
Well, they are two different parts which need two different voices.I don't find her "ready" and there are points in which in the registration seems to lack energy and "espressione". I hope I'll have the change to listen her Tosca live and make a myself a real opinion because registrations are not the best way to judge a singer.Tonight I'll see her at Teatro alla Scala for the general rehearsal of Bellini's "Il pirata" and I lvoed her twice for last year's "La bohème" :)
Just wonderful! She was just brilliant in this entire opera. Watched it several times....one of the best Toscas.
Just saw the premier. It doesn't get better than this!
Beautiful Tosca! Regret to read the systemic negative trolling below. It does not matter one little bit for those who witnessed the magic yesterday . What an amazing performance!
She is so fantastic!! . Beautiful, strong voice. I will keep listening to her.
Bravo!!!....such devoted emotion expressed so brilliantly yet tenderly !!
Maravillosa Aria en la voz de Sonya Yoncheva..!!!
Francisco Ferrer Galiana )8,
I couldn't stay away from this one. That one lonely little tear.
I love you sonya♥ I'm your big fan!!!!
All three soloists hit it out of the park today. Great performance.
Beautiful voice and song!!
This aria sung by her is worth listening to again and again.

My favorite aria.
Belíssimo! Brava!!! 👏
Это потрясающе ♥️
I would like to say that Sonya is the singer who made me fall in love with this roll. The definitive Toscas are her and Shirley verret for me.
Beautiful Sonya !
Wonderful Sonya ♥
Wonderful, I can hear Maria Callas in her voice. X
Fantastic rendition of this classic!
Thank you that was very moving 😔
I don't get it. Some people can talk about the woman like she's nothing. Callas got some tears out of me with this one, but this woman FAR SURPASSED the emotion brought with Callas. The orchestra actually had to wait for her to get her composure. She really was crying. FABULOUS

Stunning ❤️

Spencer Winell She’s also singing Norma soon.
Beautiful Voice, WOW !!!
Beautiful singing! I liked this better on my second listen than the first. I can feel the emotion. If you can’t, try just listening. Inside the Met she should sound fantastic. I’ll be there in a few weeks!
Did you enjoy? I was there on the 23rd
booe34 Yes, I enjoyed it very much.
Lovely!
Фантастична!!!❤️❤️❤️
WOW this is heaven
Absolutely beautifully heartbreaking!
The most beautiful Aria in all Opera...It is as if angels were singing in One Voice....
Very nice. A bit of a Callas-esque color to her voice (this is a compliment)
Rojaslee Violin, I noticed that too and I love it! Such a sublime and even sound! Love Yoncheva!
Agreed, she has a nice smokey/grainy colour. I also love how her vibrato wobbles on that Bb like Callas, too.
Rojaslee Violin more than a bit like Callas, wobble and back of the throat . It’s an impersonation not a performance?
junefun55 No soprano would impersonate another singer’s wobble or purposely force one from their voice.
Cathy Wood gosh, nobody claimed it was an impersonation.
Thank you Ann G for introducing me to Tosca and the opera 22 years ago.
This lady is unbelievable!
Never saw so many negative comments. Everybody is an expert!!
Люблю Тоску.
Magic

Брава Соня Йончева! Прекрасное исполнение!:-*
Very beautiful performance of this marvellous aria by Puccini
a delicious review
can people let callas rest in
peace?any new soprano is
compare to callas!!callas was
unique in so many ways.
read the book about her by
her husband meneghinni
thats a good description
of voice,talent,hard work
and ambition. let maria
callas rest in peace for
once and for all!!
Damn girl.
Incredible set and cast. This will be one for the ages. I admit I'm happy to see Bondy's idea a thing of the past.
brava.
Beautiful. Her voice reminds me of Callas
What is the matter with you people. Can't you just enjoy a beautiful aria sung by a wonderful singer and leave it at that?
It is a beautiful aria, she is a great singer, but....no Tosca! The voice is cold, no passion, almost metallic with heavy breathing....
God all these comments about how this role is wrong or right for her... everybody has a different opinion about every singer, i should know.

Interesting that she doesn't (as far as I can tell) fall to her knees here. I wonder what the director's thought behind that was
She sounds similarly to Callas to me. I love it
Vibraaaattooo
And WIIIIIIDE :-)
ugly belly
Oh these big cheasted sopranos!She really has the lungs for it and she is very good!malatets!mprava!
Czas Honoru season 4 brought me here 😊
Can someone please tell me who this is? Thanks! Frustrating that if you're trying to learn about Opera they don't tell you who the singer is. Some of the comments say it is Sonia but I don't know who that is. Thank you if anyone can help!
Has anyone noticed the tear on his cheek? Great interpretation! Although few details can be improved
Niles brought me here.....\m/
Ottimo! Migliora le doppie nella pronuncia italiana!
at least they had great drama
tics voices!!thats exactly
what we lacking today!!*in
any repertoire!! verdi o pucci

Buena voz, me recuerda a Mirella Freni
ponselle was very good in
traviata!!there is her live
performance from 1935!!
and she was a dramatic
soprano with a great colo
ratura technique,but!!she
never,ever sang puccini
like the great italian drama
tic soprano anita cerquetti
who wants to sings traviata
and never did,because her
weight!!then came caballe
who was bigger!!hello?and
sang violeta succesfully!!
cerquetti like ponselle never
ever sang puccini.
As much as i love Angela Gheorghiu's singing voice, i have to admit that her version to this aria is seriously lacking for some reason but that this singer has totally nailed it. 10/10 easily ...
Every performance is unique and beautiful and opera is an incredibly difficult art form, so let’s celebrate it not criticise.
to the MET technician, how come her voice comes only from my right speaker?
It comes from both speakers on mine
hmmm. maybe my system but I have three computers at home with three different sound system
She appears to be standing very far to STAGE RIGHT (that's Audience Left!) Perhaps the stereo effect is emphasizing her stage position, which would put most of her voice primarily on the LEFT speaker, perhaps your speakers are connected backwards?
Maestro Wenarto ii
I have the same problem, just on the left
what about callas low register?those cavernous
dramatic,powerful!!resonant
low notes?you can find those
notes in parsifal or in la
gioconda!!middle and low
register are important too!!
no only the high notes!!high
notes are for ignorant peo
ple!!
Good Tosca
attempting to famous bflat
she has tremolous in the
b flat!!means she is forcing
her essentially lyric soprano
voice!!

Я бы сказал не "уже", а "еще". Москва 2:43. Собственно, 3 голоса в одном и есть ее недостаток и еще все остальные, вытекающие из него
How come only Montserrat Caballe can sing the word Signor in one breath?
Really? Have you listened to all records or all live shows from all times? And are you sure not to sing the whole signor is not a choice? I'm astonished how people can come up with statements like yours...
No Scuderi for sure.

the sad case of the italian

katia. ricciarelli,von karajan

Alfredo Loyola have you heard her voice in the house? It’s quite a large instrument.
shut the fuck up....you're annoying
Apparently, because it's Opera, all the snooty would-be critics decided to come jizz all over the comments section >.> smdh
Maria Callas was unique,this Soprano is very good,but Callas a goddess.
Lush orchestra. Should be a candle front & center at singer's eye level for her to sing to.
With air so still that her breath moves light.
la musica del maestro Puccini e' insuperabile, e' questione di gusti si direbbe, ma io la penso cosi'.
Люблю всіх Тосок світу.. Але... Але де ви - Гоббі-Каллас-Кореллі?..
