borgia_telecast

Yesterday, a performance of Lucrezia Borgia was telecast in Europe (previously recorded during a July 6 performance). This Christof Loy production from the Bayerische Staatsoper features Edita Gruberova in her first staged Lucrezia, in the company of Pavol Breslik (Gennaro) and Alice Coote (Maffio Orsini). A selection of clips follows the jump.

    #79 LOL! A clear case of mistaken nonentity.

    Good God, she’s still trying to sing Zerbinetta? She was already yelping her way through it 20 years ago…. I personally can’t bear to listen to Netrebko because she’s so often off pitch, and to Gruberova because she’s chronically under pitch. But at least Gruberova HAD a prime (as evidenced by the O zittre nicht clip); Netrebko still seems to be looking for one.
