INCREDIBLE! BRAVA! Elena Obraztsova is one of those who Opera cannot be imagined without.

[@ezayi]

You could never think she would be able to sing the high B with such a dark and dramatic mezzo voice, but she always did ... and how she did it. BRAVISSIMA!

[@BellaFirenze]

One of a kind. What a voice. Bravissima!

[@davida.4490]

Sorry, Jordan, but it's in the right key!! And she is splendid!

[@tristanhnl]

Actually it was indeed transposed down half a step. Still a great performance though, not taking anything away from her.

[@harpguy18]

It's transposed.
