    What you heard on this video is NOT what you hear in the house. I was there. It is pretty well-known that the Met uses body mics during the broadcasts/HD performances, but NOT to amplify the singers in the house.

    Mai vidi e sentii un Siegmund così!! Che meraviglia! Che canto fermo, elegante, virile, dolce, entusiasmante!! Alla scena della morte di Siegmund alla fine del II atto non mi vergogno di dire che ho pianto e non sono un sentimentaloide, nè uno sprovveduto musicalmente e vocalmente: che interpretazione!! La giovinezza, la passione, i sogni infranti, la paternità che ama e protegge, l'amore sponsale: tutto in quel canto e quei gesti...Grazie, Jonas e grazie a chi ha messo il video! Spero in un DVD

    Every stage has a sweet spot. It depends on the sets. For example, I just saw Boheme at the ROH in London, and the top of the staircase in Rodolfo's flat was the sweet spot. Whenever ANY singer stood there and sang, the voice was larger and more resonant. But guess what....no one sang their main arias there. I really wish that people spent less time cutting these singers off at the knees and more time celebrating their art!

      I get chills too, every time. I've listened to this on the famous Solti studio set and the live Keilberth of 1955. I was surprised that as good as they are, they lack the propulsion and sheer thrill of this one. Of course this performance has the advantage of being a live video, but Levine, Kaufmann and Westbroek are firing on all 12 cylinders.
      And I've never seen anyone pull that sword out of the tree as well as Kaufmann does! Just one aspect of his artistry.
      Even the way the camera moves across the stage is magical.

    Miraculous! If this is from the 14 May 2011 performance, I was in the audience at the Met. They most certainly were NOT miked to amplify their voices, but only to capture the sound for HD. They sounded exactly the same on the stage as in this clip. Kaufmann's voice, in particular, is very well-focused - it is not a huge voice, but it resonates throughout the theater. Excellent performance here.

    Before the discussion about mics becomes endless - opera singers carry no mics. Sometimes, for broadcasts, they are placed above the stage or in front of it but not on the singers. This is not a musical show - this is serious singing!

    • @raarnoldra
      @raarnoldra 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      The Met doesn't amplify it's singers in staged opera. They never have. Many opera companies have playback monitors on stage, so that the singers can actually hear the orchestra. That is not the same thing as amplifying the singers. The Met has NEVER amplified the voice of singers into the hall. I guarantee, you couldn't name one opera where the Met actually amplified the voice of singers into the hall, not one.

      No way. The voices just are too close in your headphones compared with the orchestra to be recorded from the audience. This recording is no different from recording a musical except the mics are hidden ion stage, costumes and hair, later a producer mixes all different mics and amplifies the voices.

    Re: Kaufmann, I think he is one of the most interesting singers to have appeared in decade, musically he is extremely modern (i.e. respectful of musical values and the composers intentions) without sacrificing dramatic intention. Indeed music and drama are wonderfully united in his performances quite the opposite of del Monaco where the dramatic interpretation was imposed on the music and very often destroyed it.

    Kaufmann is a stunning and also a great looking Siegmund! I would like to see more of this "Valkyrie"!
    But everybody who loves this, should check out the "Valkyrie" of the Bayreuth Centennial Ring from Patrice Chereau and Pierre Boulez with a still very young Peter Hofmann as Siegmund. I think that at this point in Peter Hofmann's unfortunately not very long career he was even better than Kaufmann, and he looked and acted equally great. Sieglinde is great, too!
    It's easy to find the Centennial Ring complete and in excerpts on TH-cam. I love Jonas Kaufmann, but Peter Hofmann was born for the roles of Siegmund and Lohengrin!

    Kaufmann is the best Siegmund I have ever heard. Westbroek is also good as Sieglinde. I had a lot of issues with this production, but the first act of Die Walkuere was winning -- there was also a menacing Hunding by Hans-Peter Koenig.
    Though of course, as always, the real star is Richard Wagner. Frightening genius!

      Son puros snobs que sólo conocen a Kaufmann porque es famoso e intentan dárselas de entendidos. Y mujeres que lo adoran porque es guapo, mérito extraordinario en la historia de la ópera.
      Igual Wagner es de lo mejorcito que hace Kaufmann; la mayoría de sus demás roles son insoportables, sobre todo cuando intenta arias para tenor lírico o ligero.

      It's a technical remark: for example, his Eeee vowels are wrong (he turns them into 'eh'), which raises concerns about his vocal production. He lacks chest voice and is throaty most of times. I suggest you listen to Lauritz Melcior performance of the same aria for comparison. The sounds is deeper and more noble.
      I understand Kaufmann fans will disagree, but this is something that needs to be said, with great respect. He still is a great artist with a nice voice, but he sadly took the wrong route 25 years ago.

    @AfroPoli, I don't think they mic-ed him. In Das Rheingold, they would have mic-ed the Rheinmaidens but didn't. Similarly in Siegfried, they would have mic-ed Erda and her low notes and Morris as Siegfried because he doesn't have a giant voice but in both cases AFAICT they didn't. And in this clip, Sieglinde is blasting right next to him which the mic would have amplified but there is no volume difference between her here and in other clips.

      Silvia Graciela Martínez Everyone has the right to his opinions. I’ve seen both Domingo and Kaufmann onstage in this role. Domingo was brilliant. Kaufmann is far superior. Yes, Domingo has many colors in his voice, and true legato, but his German is terrible, and he rushes through the music, probably from exhaustion and to save energy for the high notes. Kaufmann doesn’t have emotions? Listen to his cry in the words, ‘Dem fiendeshaus.’ And of course that incredible phrase at the end, which he takes in one breath, and holds onto that final A. Most tenors die at that point, including Domingo, because it is simply too much. Sorry for the long rant - I agree that Domingo was a fine Sieglmund, but I think Kaufmann is far better.

    @hightenor123 I know it from a house that is 1/3rd in size compared to the Met. He used microphones there. It was Fidelio. Now. How can he take on the Met singing Wagner if he could not be heard without microphones in a relatively small house in a lighter orchestrated opera? And you did not have a contract with Decca I guess, you you had no choice. Peace.

    Yes, I stand corrected. Nevertheless, my point was that Del Monaco cannot be really brought into the equation when speaking of wagnerian tenors. If we want to look back in history at great 'model' interpreters of Siegmund we ought to consider singers like Melchior, Vinay, Suthaus, Vickers or King. Del Monaco's repertoire was elsewhere, I have serious issues with his general lack of musical discipline and how propagated a grossly misleading interpretation of Otello.. but that's another story.

    Please! Dem Monaco never sang Siegmund, he only sang a bit late in his career for a TV concert and his German was odd to say the least, ask if he has heard Melchior or Vinay or Suthaus

    Personally, while I might not have seen much of him, I preferred him in the ROH 2011 Tosca (as Cavaradossi). He doesn't seem to be acting at all here, his pronounciation is off at times and he's singing it far too lyrical for my taste. It's supposed to be a rather emotional scene, after all, in which Siegmund has every right to be excited.

    DARIO ZORI ,no veo porque KAUFMANN NO PUEDE CANTAR ROLES DE LIRICO SPINTO DRAMAtico o tenorHeroico .La voz la tiene el registro tambien graves y agudos espectaculares .LA GRAN MARIA CALLAS ERA CRITICADA POR LA MISMA razon ,era soprano lirica ,coloratura dramatica y abordaba roles de mezzo soprano. TODAVIA NADIE LA A PODIDO SUPERAR ..Lo mismo pasara con KAUFMANN ,no habra quien lo supere......

    Ionas Kaufman is much more natural and attractive in Vagner than in Italian opera which proves that there is such a thing as inborn temperament, at least in this case. It would be better if modern opera singers limited themselves a little to the roles best suited to them and avoided the temptations of contracts around the world which bring in the end waning of taltnt.

    This has got to be one of the sexiest parts of the entire ring. Sieglinde showing Siegfried where his manhood is...Notung...and he pulls it out! She practically faints, then rushs to him and while he raises his "manhood higher and higher, she is at his feet, hugging his legs, body, buttocks, etc...and the two of them become hotter and hotter until they fall on each other at the end as the music goes nuts....or....NOT.
    Not here, folks. Just singing. Good singing, but just singing.

      Opera nobility Your comment was not only humorous but pretty right on about the sexiness of this performance.
