Oh dear... all other words fail me!
But the dress is fabulastic, damn it all!
Filth has entered a new age. Who is this woman?
Oh Dio! 'nuff said
The Madonna is going to cry blood...Any minute now
Thanks for ruining my day...
More sad than funny. This seems to be a promotional video for the singer -- can she be that delusional? I have a recording of Sutherland singing this aria. She makes is sound a tad better.
BTW, is there some bug in the blog? It says '0 comments' out front, but when you go in to make one, you see that some have been posted.
Are you quite sure this is actually not Walter Scott's "LADY OF THE LAKE"? For she rather sounds like she is drowning!
Can I just add, I feel a bit guilty saying anything because this is one of those rare cases where they really don't sing that badly at all, but just have a hugely unattractive voice.
BTW
Do you think those are her parents playing the piano and turning pages?
Oh ummm. Wow. I don't even think she's singing actual words just warble after warble.
In the spirit of 'fair is fair'...
this aria can be found in the Opera Rara recording of 'Rosmonda d'Inghilterra', sung beautifully and accurately by La Fleming before she became the most famous soprano in the world.
Meretrice I d'Oscena
I think it's the operatic version of "I've Written a Letter to Daddy."
Did anyone listen until the end?
YES! RHONDA BACHMAN!!!!!
This is obviously a trailer for the new Christoph Loy production in Dusseldrof.
Not content with trashing the mise en scene, he is now applying his aesthetic principles to the score, too.
I stood about two minutes of it. This is the sort of thing that killed vaudeville. And I disagree with Chacowhacko -- she sings badly with her godawful instrument.
Now I feel sorry for all those uncharitable things I said about Guleghina's cabaletta in Macbeth.

Is it "Flight of the Bumblebee"?
And what a beautiful garden
she projects self-confidence. The same kind of deluded self-confidence that makes people like Rudy Giuliani think they can become Preseident
chacowhacko,
The voice is not unattractive but abysmally ugly! Who are the assassins of good taste, who encourage these people to sing? Possibly unscrupulous voice teachers preying on the ambitions and weaknesses of marginal vocal talents. I feel sorry for the lady, whoever she is.
Well, I don't think the under-talented deserve extirpation! I have no problem throwing lobs at the rich and talented when they disappoint, but other than the thrill of schadenfreude, I don't think there is any useful reason to mock the amateur or sad.
At last! The long-missing granddaughter of Sari Bunchuck Wontner has been found. Clever of her to avoid invidious comparisons to her mother's unique Violetta by opting for Lucia by way of Rosmonda.
Overwhelmed after two minutes.
O Dio tormento...
I guess no one can accuse La Cieca of specifically focusing on the filth of Fleming after this... lol.
This is truly horrific and sad. I think I'd rather listen to "popera" for hours instead of this. Wow.
Oh no, I just heard the final high "note" while typing this!!! AGGHH!!!
I feel terribly sorry for the lady. Tricked out in what looks like a copy of one of Persiani's outfits, no voice really, every mannerism that she could think of, like the rigid right hand index finger..... I listened to end and thought, 'daddy's little princess isn't going to have that big opera career after all.' I've met the type,
they can put on any recording of any singer and pull the whole thing apart. Feel sorry for her.
Isn't that the opera-singer scioness of the Dow-Jones family?
She is a real find, but what made me absolutely scream was the pianist! He could have a great career. Of some kind.
And it's sheer genius to set the mise-en-scène in the local Protestant Episcopal Church!
Ha haaa! Ha, ha ha, ha! Haaaa! Ha, ha, ha ha!!! Aaaaaahh, ha, ha ha!! Eeeeyaaaaaah, ha, ha haaaaaaaaaaahh!
