Un compositeur de génie, une vraie basse, une grande soprano, une vraie mezzo, un très grand chef. Sublime trio. Tout est parfait.
Love Cotrubas and Ghiuselev!
An excellent ' Antonia' scene with three wonderful singers. Ileana Cotrubas had one of her greatest successes in this role and she sang it so beautifully.
Some folks have suggested in the comments that she is over - acting, but I suspect that in the opera house her gestures were of the right size. When the camera shows some distance you can see how petite she appeared on the stage, also the scene was played in semi darkness to create a menacing atmosphere. In close up it may look exaggerated , but this was a performance that was filmed , rather than a film of an opera . Cotrubas is totally engaged and sincere in the role.
I think the comments on her overacting are misplaced-Schlesinger seems to be basing this whole act on being influenced by the old silent horror movie "The Cabinet of Dr Caligari' and this suggest an hommage to that style
Cotrubas👑 was a great actress & vocally one of the most beautiful voices on the Operatic Stage.An incredible artist in every sense. Traviata,Mimi,Gilda,Pamina, Michaela, Manon. Susanna etc. She is deeply missed. A major contributor TO THE MOST INCREDIBLE ART FORM IN THE WORLD. .Take care my friend 💙 Arnold Bourbon Amaral
Nicola Ghiuselev is DA MAN! 1936 - 2014
Fantastic. Cotrubas is an amazing actress.
Realy one of the best Antonias I ever heard. Brava Cotrubas
Ensemble magistral !
Vocally wonderful. And I think the designers of the production got this scene right with a bit of menace in Dr. Mirakel's costume and the set.
Ileana Cotrubas ha sido una soprano que no alcanzó la fama que merecía. Su voz y su técnica le permitieron cantar un repertorio muy amplio que iba desde Mimí, Gilda, Manon, Adina, Thaís, Antonia, Violetta, etc. Su forma de transmitir el dramatismo de estos personajes fue notable, porque lo hacia perfectamente tanto con la voz como con su interpretación. Gracias por esos momentos de verdadera emoción que me ha hecho vivir (yo tenía 17 años y ella fue mi primera Mimí en teatro)
Roberto Ramos SEmpere Hola amigo mi favorita soprano tambien. Sinceo Arnold Bourbon Amaral soy 1/8. Espanol Estados Unidos Este 1820 DE Europa Adios 🌎🌍🌏👴🇺🇸🇫🇷🇪🇸🇬🇧 Sincero Arnold Bourbon Amaral
I already seeing this full recorder, and no one beat this performance, all of it (olympia, antonia, giuletta) they are best. Even the same production (2000 and 2016) cant beat this.
INDEED my friend. Cotrubas was considered the most televised Diva in the early 80s. Arnold Bourbon Amaral
The synch fault is not on the dvd, and, since this is being acted in a theatre, not for a movie or TV production, bigger expression and gestures are called for in a big house like Covent Garden ... Cotrubus had a stunning soprano, full of warmth and expressiveness.
Que Cotrubas est émouvante ! Unique.
I wonder how anyone would act faced with evil and death. I did not know that it should be more subtle. Thank you experts.
Grandi!!!!..........
SIMPLY THE BEST ANTONIA EVER
Cotrubas was great! Her Violetta is wonderful too!
As is her Gilda!
@@xxsaruman82xx87 I will listen, but Gilda is one of my favourite soprano roles, so I am very sensitive ...
@@MisterSoprano Cotrubas has a rare gift to portray Gilda Vocally as a lyric Soprano. Her artistic ability is very rare gift as she portrays Gilda. The DVD is a treasure due to Cotrubas 👑 STELLAR performance at the MET. I977. Arnold Bourbon Amaral
@@arnoldamaral7406 Tnx a lot. I am a great fan of hers, prefere her Violetta thou. Enjoy.
Violetta, Gilda, Amina...... etc.
Parabéns pelo postagem! Maravilhoso!
¡Mi Antonia soñada, perfecta conjugación de candidez, misticismo y demencia otorgándole vida a este personaje!...¡Gracias Cotrubas por tu arte!!!

Which roles do you think should be sung by the same singer?
Niclausse/La Muse
@@junemayoff8110 them I didnt categorize because in some versions (like in the censured Choudens version) they're separate parts, even though played by one. Even at the 1881 premiere, they were created by two different singers. In spite of all this, that's one of the strongest possibilities.
Bravo for your comment !
absolutely superb- Cotrubas retired far too early-
semiramide1945. Cotrubas retired when she no longer had her beautiful High E. In her prime she's had no equal in regards to La Boheme, Traviata Antonia Etc. My wife bought Traviata for me as a special gift on vinyl. Unfortunately there is NO DVD for Traviata. When DVDs were released with Cotrubas my wife would purchase those as well. My daughter loved her voice as well. MY only regret is that I never saw her perform live. She came to United States towards the latter part of her career. The common occurrence 4 great European singers. Ask any European that loves Opera if they liked Cotrubas and their answer will be absolutely. She performed in all the great Opera houses in Europe in her prime. That Beautiful lyric soprano voice that was so telling and true to the music. Only her Gilda was recorded for DVD in 1977 At the Met. By the early 80s her voice was already declining. But in the 70s she ruled in regards to her repertoire. Sincerely Arnold Bourbon Amaral
Splendid! Does anyone have a digital copy of this amazing performance?
I have the DVD my friend. Cotrubas is supreme . The ideal Antonia but she is the ideal everything after she sings her carefully chosen roles. I would highly recommend Cotrubas Gilda on DVD live from the MET. 1977. After 1982 Cotrubas had lost her High E or it was not as fluid as it was in the 70s.And she was seriously considered retiring by 1983. But like she herself said Her phone keep ringing etc. Cotrubas herself stated that her Boheme in 1977 at LA Scala was one of the better performances of Boheme & is on DVD as well with Pavarotti. Her Traviata is the most beautiful artistic portrayal of Violeta next to Callas.But unfortunately not on DVD sad to say. As you can see Cotrubas is my ideal lyric Soprano. LOL. Enjoy her Antonia. Covent Garden , Vienna, LA Scala were her favorite houses in Europe. Take care 😷 my friend. Arnold Bourbon Amaral
3:05 😍
singing 5*, orchestra 5*, camerawork 0*.
IMO there should be no camerawork.
This is an opera not a movie /film and close ups are an anachronism.
Operas are meant to be viewed so that the entire stage can be seen at all time
I completely disagree.
I was forced to vote negatively on this because, despite my love for the scene, the sync between voice and acting was uncomfortably off and Antonia way overacted in the opening of the scene. She seemed to be in a silent film. But I don't blame her so much as the director. Too bad that the scene was so poorly presented.
I agree with the negative views of clamdip2. The lack of sync was bad but Cotrubas' acting was worse -- chewing the scenery To add a nitpick, imho Cotrubas' voice is too strong for Antonia -- this is an ill woman, very conflicted, on the verge of death. I could see opening the scene with a weaker affect and maybe strengthening as she makes the decision to sing -- but not so strong throughout.
It's not a role for Callas but she would know how to do it...
The orchestration is rather heavy, and Cotrubas is just the right size for an Antonia.
Morten H INDEED my friend. Arnold Bourbon Amaral
Joel Bergsman OH HUSH UP & LISTEN TO A GREAT ARTIST. Arnold Bourbon Amaral
Yeah, you really are nitpicking. Watch her in La Boheme. She could act the consumptive when she needed to.
@@voiceofwisdom1 This performance was filmed for VHS later on DVD. Cotrubas performance was STELLAR & portrayed Antonia like the great ARTIST that she was. Cotrubas does not need to be defended by individuals that don't understand a great performance. Arnold Bourbon Amaral
