Wow! What an ingenius way to make this all-time-classic masterpiece into this "modern counterpart"! 0_o The environment being some old bar or a casino, Rigoletto looking like an everyday man with a colorful attire while Sparafucile looking like one of those "guns for hire" having this charming and flawless appearance, looking like one of those movies where the murderer just waits in bars to find some possible client! And all those details! 0_0 Sparaficile actually have "business cards" with him in which he writes info or phone number and how he leaves the money for his drink before leaving! Oh my goodness I have never seen something like that done so...right before! Their expressions and movements are so natural and great! There is something...you know every day and natural in their movements! They don't need to be extra dramatic! If someone saw this without the music they would get the impression they are playing in a film noir or something! And of course that final low note that was held for so long is simply great! Great performance indeed!
I have the solo string bass part to this and was trying FOREVER to figure out where it happened in the opera and at LONG LAST I found it! Now I can put it in my program notes!
Alguien dijo que no era bajo Sparafucile.....si lo es, que duda cabe, o bien un barítono con un registro muy extenso para hacer la nota final como lo hizo.
@@danielduerziblat3823 having done some further research into the gay scene in Las Vegas in this era i'm even MORE convinced i'm right tbh; you'll notice sparafucile gives rig his number on a matchbook. in 60s-80s vegas there was a whole subculture of otherwise innocuous matchbooks in Las Vegas that were actually basically subtle Gay Club Business Cards.
@@silvia7597 For starters things don't make sense immediately. A guy at a Vegas casino is talking about a curse, when Sparafucile first accosts him and he says he has nothing, that makes sense when a creepy person walks up to you on the street at night and you know they're going to ask for money or rob you, not when some guy at a bar says "sir" without turning around from a distance, and then introduces himself as a swordsman, again in a modern casino, and this all transpires in front of a bartender. That's just for starters. Is it fun? I guess. Does it make any sense based on the material? No, it does not unless you turn off your brain.

Sparafucil~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bravo!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Quelle belle voix de basse, puissante et magnifiquement timbrée.
Grandioso, eccezionale, bravissimi
El mejor dúo Rigoletto-Sparafucile que he visto hasta ahora. Fenomenal Stefan Kocán
Listen to Bastianini and Cesare Siepi...
Wow! indescriptible y la descubrí gracias a un nuevo amigo en you tuve. Decididamente las redes sociales transportan gente muy valiosa. Gracias "I"
his and Felipe Bou's are the best modern Sparafucile's I´ve heard. Bravo!
holy FUCK that low F
can't wait for his Filippo... I know he's young but damn
Magnificent...what a pair!!

I'm sure you do. The contextualization of the work was perfect.
@@marciocruz07 True story! The director of this surely is a genius for thinking like that! It was a great idea!
Perfect. Playing this vid cheers me up.
Best Sparafucile ever

that low F is amazing!
Barely audible
I know right?! And he held it like forever even if the tempo is so slow and he had also spoken the name before!
@@jackbigbug You must be joking.
I've heard the low Fa years ago and have been chasing that high ever since
Superb!
Lucic is great as Rigoletto and Kocán is outstandning as Sparafucile.
amezing bass
Maravilhosos os dois!! Estou presa nesse vídeo, hahahah
Muito show, né?
Dois monstros para curtir muito nesse Dia do Músico!!!
@@marciocruz07 sim, é verdade!
Também sou pianista, se quiser dar uma olhadinha no meu canal 😊
Um abraço!
I enjoyed this Vegas production (I saw it at the Met matinee). This was one of the most chilling moments - Sparafucile arranging a hit.
Tek diže čovek glavu i vidim naš Željko Lučić. Kakav osećaj. Pozdrav za Željka. ;)
bravo stefan kocan !!!!
One of the best basses today!
Ottimo anche il baritono..ma il basso è fenomenale!!
Beautifully done" Bravo!
I saw this in a live broadcast.
Excellent!
Bravissimo Sparafucile, wonderful basso profondo
insuperable el Sparafucile de Stefan
Hermoso 😍
Ma Kocan quanto cavolo la tiene lunga quella nota bassissima sul finale? Apoteosi!
Alguien dijo que no era bajo Sparafucile.....si lo es, que duda cabe, o bien un barítono con un registro muy extenso para hacer la nota final como lo hizo.
bravo majstori !
Two amazing Slavic voices: Serbian Lučić and Slovak Kocan. Who can tell that Slavic basses and baritones are not good for verdian characters.
Nobody has ever said that though.
i'm not complaining but... this sure has some Homoerotic Subtext
Not in this case. Try Don Carlo and Don Rodrigo duet
Sparafucilles sister is a pro, by the way

It might be understood, in a way, as a seduction scene, with Sparafucile trying to lure Rigoletto into hiring him...
also some not so pure notes
Sparafuciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil' ....
sentito meglio, ma molto meglio ...
qua cantano due baritoni .
dov'è la voce del BASSO vero ?...
E vero. Kocan non e un basso, forse un basso baritono che manca la scurezza.
I suggest you listen to his Wagners (Gurnemanz for example)...
Bello ma i vestiti........che c'entrano con quel linguaggio....bah!
J'aime les chanteurs mais certainement pas cette mise en scène !!!
Dreck
Wie bitte?

One with no voice and the other with no pitch.
