    Saimir Pirgu, Venera Gimadieva and The Royal Opera Chorus sing La traviata's famous drinking song.
    ‘A toast to the pleasures of life!’ - so sings Violetta, her new admirer Alfredo and her party guests in the opening scene of Giuseppe Verdi’s La traviata. But beneath the surface glamour of Violetta’s Parisian life run darker undercurrents: her doomed love for Alfredo and the tensions the lovers encounter when they break society’s conventions. La traviata, based on Alexandre Dumas fils’s play La Dame aux camélias, is one of Verdi’s most popular operas, combining drama, profound emotion and wonderful melodies.
    Richard Eyre’s classic production conveys the indulgent social whirl of 19th-century Paris. It provides a vivid setting for Verdi’s tuneful score, which includes such favourites as Violetta’s introspective ‘Ah fors’è lui’ and ecstatic ‘Sempre libera’; the duet ‘Pura siccome un angelo’ as Giorgio Germont begs Violetta to leave Alfredo; and ‘Parigi, o cara’, in which the lovers poignantly imagine a life that will never be theirs. The role of Violetta (the ‘fallen woman’ of the title) is one of Verdi’s most complex and enduring characters.

      To me it's a tie with 'Im Freuerstrom der Reben' from 'Die Fledermaus'/'The Bat'/'Revenge of the Bat'. Though that one's a bit livelier.

      Venera Gimadieva is not only a pretty face, but also there's something in her demeanor and voice when she plays violetta that's mesmerizing.

    Beautiful performance. As an aside, this reminds me of why the philistine spirit retains its allure over people. While at the same time, the emptiness and the meaningless in the words of the hedonist character becomes so striking amidst all that exuberant performance. That is not to say well tempered enjoyment has no place in our lives.

    Someone teach me how to judge a singing voice, please... Why and how did you come to the conclusion that they are good/bad??

      It takes a lot of listening, developing your taste and not infrequently hear people sound very dogmatic forgetting there is a lot of subjective component in their opinion. Don’t be discouraged by what others say. Just go with what you like or don’t.

      Either a lot of listening, a lot of knowledge or some people are just born with good ears. His voice sounds off.

      You take years of learning how to implement the voice in a pleasing, beautiful, and healthy way. I’ve been singing and learning operatic technique for the last 15 years (since I was ten). Some of the voices I adored in the beginning of my education I look on now like a drunk looks on the night before. “What the hell was I thinking”. Once you learn the basis of good technique and what the proper sound should be you move onto style. For instance, you don’t sing Verdi the same way you would sing Handel or Puccini. It was completely different times in musical history with different musical traditions and music written by vastly different people.
      For instance here, this tenors voice sounds (to me) strained, his timbre is not very pleasing here, he is constantly off pitch and his legato or smoothness of vocal line is awful. If I had to guess I would say he is actually a Baritone and he is trying to sing as a tenor. He may “have the range” but the beauty is lacking because it’s not a natural placement for his voice. That isn’t to say he doesn’t have a nice voice to your everyday person. But most opera lovers are practical fanatics after the stupendous, supreme, and divine singers.
      I would Suggest listening to these singers, as they are examples of truly FINE singers.
      Maria Callas (recording between 1949 and 1959), Joan Sutherland (recording from 1959-1979) the first two I consider the finest Sopranos of the 20th century. Montserrat Caballe, Luciano Pavarotti, Franco Corelli, Giusseppe DiStefano, Anna Moffo, Elizabeth Schwarzkopf, Kathleen Ferrier, Janet Baker, Nicolai Gedda. I could go on but I’ll stop there.
      If you’re truly interested in learning more about the operatic voice a decent book to start with is Tetrazzini’s “How to Sing”. It was published in 1909, I think, so some of the terminology is out of date but it’s very educational and an ebook version is about $3.
      You can also just check out my favourite videos on my profile... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Every soprano who sings Tosca tries to make her opening words - frantic calls of her lover’s name, before she’s even onstage - sound suspicious. The title character of Puccini’s great opera is an acclaimed prima donna in Rome in 1800. Tosca is passionate and jealous. So she must be wondering why the door to the church where her beloved Mario is painting a mural is locked. And who did she just hear him whispering with?
