This is just fabulous, and it's a wonderful way to experience this opera, especially with the projections. The orchestra deserves the spotlight. Would love to see CSO do it here in Chicago. The Lyric Opera probably can't afford to do a full production, but that's just the reality of the present time. This opera deserves as many performances as possible.

A heartbreaking moving music starting at 30:00 after Baraks words "O happiness over me and expectation, and joy in my heart", when he thinks, that he will become a father. A tremendous performance, a fabulous cast. I can't imagine a better one actually. It's really world class. I enjoyed everyone very much, especially Anne Schwanewilms as Empress.

INCOMPARABLE Schwanewilms!!!!!

I heard live Ildiko Komlosi twice as Amme... I like her very much especially as Amneris, Santuzza, Judit, and Amme....world class perfromances, great memories :)

That interlude coming down to earth section pulverizes!! Niiiice ❤

A Fabulous performance overall indeed, but I must say I was bowled over by Merbeth's Färberin!! A great portrayal! Amazing how her voice sails the murderous tessitura with such ease, assurance and the right character! Kudos indeed. Also Jorowski's reading, although on the fast side, holds the continuity of this very difficult opera amazingly! Loved it all!

RYSANEK , NILSSON , KING , BERRY , LIPOVSEK UND KARL BÖHM .Nicht andre.

Awful.

wow. merbeth really going for the harridan portrayal of the dyer’s wife.

thank you so much for uploading this concert. what a wonderful score by strauss, one of my favorite operas.

Why the orchestra is so small ? Karl Boehm's versions are better !!

Jurowski and the orchestra are good. But almost the entire case is tragically overparted.

Anne Schwanewilms: peerless Dflat

Eine rauschhafte Aufführung, ein brillantes Sinfonie(OPERN!)Orchester und die Besetzung ist ohne Ausnahme umwerfend. Ich schätze die FROSCH (noch) mehr als alle anderen Sträusse. Fundamentalkritik muss der Kameraführung ausgesprochen werden: Keine 30 Sekunden verharrt das Bild dort, wo man als Publikum gebannt hinsehen möchte. Ein permanentes Hüpfen von den Musikern zur Leinwand und in den Graben und ins Haus und wieder zurück. Diese Oper braucht bei aller musikalischer Aufregung vor allem Ruhe. Und die hat man (hier) nur mit geschlossenen Augen. Das ist schade und ärgerlich. Ich wünsche mir mehr musikalische Kameraleute, die den Mut haben, einmal drei Minuten stillzustehen. Keine Sorge: Die Frau ohne Schatten wird (auch dann) nicht langweilig.

Schwanewilms has class, one of the rarest qualities these days....

C'mon, Folks...you can carp all you want about this-or-that voice, or this-or-that tempo..but this presentation was a FABULOUS achievement..an opportunity for the world to hear THE MUSIC...in all it's magnificent, unbelievably complex, garish and exquisite glory...LIVE but without the burden of costumes, make-up, lighting, scenery, blocking..allowing the singers to concentrate solely on the music and their emotional delivery of same. Amazing, and greatly appreciated. LR

Schwanewilms has too small voice for this part which almost requiers a dramatic soprano with unusual high extension and stronger high notes than heard here. Merbeth was a better Kaiserin some years ago before she moved to dramatic parts despite being a spinto, here still doing a decent job without too much wobble.

A Anne Schwanewilms ya la conocíamos en este rol, impecable como siempre, pero me ha maravillado la impresionante interpretación de Ricarda Merbeth 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Bravo, bravo, maravillosa representación un millón de gracias por compartir. We already knew Anne Schwanewilms in this role, impeccable as always, but I was amazed by the impressive performance of Ricarda Merbeth 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Bravo, bravo, wonderful performance, thanks a million for sharing.

WOW!!!!!!!!

many thanks for this upload!

Anne schwanewilms in her greatest role!

I think this version and renee fleming are the best it can get,just brilliant.

The collaborative pianist is amazing!!!

Amazingly delightful, beautiful, waw

Maravillosa Eglise 👏👏👏

Robust singing...absolutely beautiful...and tender. Gorgeous !!

Bravissima, Mi maestra de canto era Isabel Penagos en Madrid, España. Ella lo cantò muy bien...tenia una bonuita voz...pero...E. Gutierrez tiene los agudos !! No hago comparacion.. cantan las dos..bellissimamente!!

Thus is so cute. I haven’t seen any funny operas, only the beautiful & serious ones. This is delightful

Decían ke no sabía pasear la bata de cola por el escenario pues miren y juzguen ke pandilla de ignorantes

Eglise Gutierrez .....What a divine singer....What an exceptional soul.....🌹🌹🌹🌹

What a dramatic voice, AND YET THEATERS HIRE Netrebko for this kind of rols, art has become something that atracts money, where's the art? Congrats Latonia Moore.

Wooww... One of the best Gilda. Love it.

We saw her as the fairy godmother in Santa Fe in Cendrillon with di Donato as Cendrillon.

GORGEOUS VOICE, AND INTERPRETATION.....Beatiful !!

A wise conductor once said "Just make great music" don't worry about who is famous, making the most money...etc the 2 productions you sang in in Seattle "I Puritani" and "La Traviata" are remembered and cherished by those who love this music and wait for brilliant people to come and illuminate it for a moment.Rene Fleming, Bartoli are not fit to clean your shoes but this is the only world we are given to live in so we accept it as it is and gather as much joy as we can.

Es la version mas fantastica que he escuchado y yo he oido grandes divas en esta romanza.

Divina esta mujer...me encanta su voz e interpretacion!!!

I haven’t seen a better interpretation of Lucia since Beverly Sills. Brava Eglise

Eglise es increíble. Una voz del cielo
