Sheer perfection. The balance between tenor, baritone & soprano is fantastic. Calleja, Tesier and Dessay all excelling individually and together, will not be surpassed for a long time.
I thought the same thing... How hard to Balance 6 Voices with what I like to call "Donizetti's Drunken Orchestra", and pull of the stage blocking.... utter perfection...
I don't know what you're talking about. Calleja is a voice completely devoid of any actual voice. The guy sings into the falsetto passage most of the time, and has no substance. I don't know how opera got to this. In the golden age of opera most of these singers would have cut the tickets.
bellissimo sestetto e coro cantato bene e grandissimo DONIZETTI .
Sì, composta da Gaetano Donizetti.
Beautifully sung. All voices can be heard.
In addition, I love the photographer “building” the scene…
Microphones
I've heard this very oft repeated rumour about the Met. Is there any actual proof that this practice happens there? I know it's a gargantuan hall, but then so is Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires and it regularly merits the top ten theatres in the world for acoustic performance.
All voices can be heard? You listen to what happens when some of the other singers start singing forte, whether you can hear Joseph at all.
@@draganatanasov2503: Yes I hear him!
Interesting. I was a huge fan of Dessay, and am a huge fan of Calleja. So I really liked this performance. But, a number of commenters seem to dislike the staging of the photograph. Apparently, they prefer the older style of having the singer stand and sing to the audience without the stage business in this performance. I am a long time opera fan, back into the time before appearance and acting was so important. Then just the voice was the thing. I prefer a good or great voice paired with good acting (and appearance if possible). Makes for a total theatrical/musical experience. I can listen to recordings of singers if I just want the voice. The staging of the photograph gives an opportunity to portray the additional context to Lucia's unhappiness and the awkwardness of the whole marriage. I think that adds to the poignancy of the music and lyrics. Just my opinion for what its worth. Bravo.
Yes, I usually don’t like this sort of thing but in this context I think it was a very good idea.
So glad to see Joseph made it big in the opera world. l first heard and saw him when he competed in operalia 1999 here in Puerto Rico and won a prize along with Rolando Villazon and Mariola Cantenero which by the way have also made it big in the opera world.
This is simply wonderful!
No. This is not only beautiful. This is magnificent
You are right. I stand corrected.
"Don't move til you're numb"
And that’s why the Berliners queued for 3 days to get tickets of this opera when Karajan took La Scala and Callas there. Still a marvel this piece.
Donizetties marvelous masterpies. The sextet is unique in opera world. Congragulation to all performers.
I saw this at The Met, on 3 different occasions and each and every time, Desay brought the house down. She not only can sing the part but her acting is unrivaled. Her movements and subtleties could be felt from the back of the house. She's extradoniary and I encourage anyone to see her live. It's well worth your time.
I saw at the Met too.Beautiful .Amazing.
Unrivaled??? Surely you jest.
I never got to see the opera live and I am absolutely heartbroken that this is no longer available on dvd?! I had the opportunity to buy it from HMV in the Arndale Centre in Manchester (I didn’t appreciate it then as I do now) but passed up on the chance and have been kicking myself ever since! Simonline 🇬🇧😭😭😭
Willie, the Whale Who Wanted To Sing At the Met!:)); this is an incredible performance !
Essa ária me faz chorar!( como agora 😭) É uma das mais ou talvez a mais linda de toda ópera! Pobre Lucia, pobre Edgardo...como é triste ser enganado (a).
Donizetti's masterpiece, Lucia di Downton Abbey.
metropolitan1966 IM CACKLING!! 😂😂😂 BRILLIANT!
exactly!!! you hit the nail right on the head!
😂😂😂
Funny
Well if you don't care for the story..at least you cane enjoy the sets and costumes. I'd wear that cape coat anywhere..
The fact she's sitting down and hitting that note is imposs
Lovely, twinkling, radiant. Marvelous.
The costume designer needs an award.
No they don't
Why? Because he is off by several centuries?
Professor Snape is an amazing baritone.
Never mind, that's not Alan Rickman.
@@WilliamDearthwd No, it's Ludovic Tezier!! Greatest living baritone, IMO.
I concur! Tezier is second to none! Simonline 🇬🇧😀👍
The staging for that was brilliant!!!!
I found the OG song and source. Thank you Willie the Whale for that!
2:40 and on brings tears to my eyes. So beautiful... Damn it!!
Bender Rodriguez me too

Excelente, GRACIAS a quien lo subió
At the at end of this “aria” the deejay of Double Cleff FM Morgan Merryweather said :
“Mmmmh oh that one reminds me about the lovely summer I spent in the original Italy”.
Celestial ¡¡¡¡que voces¡¡¡ música ¡¡¡¡¡¡bellísima ¡¡ interpretación sólo verlos y verlas 😍😍😍 escucharlos a ellas y ellos es mágico no puedo dejar de llorar 😍😍muchísimas gracias y Felicidades 🤗😘😍😗
Yep this is the one from Double Cleff fm GTA III
The perfect moment to die is when you explode in the car while this song is playing (GTA 3)

GTA brought me here lol!
Same,me too
Normally I listen to Classical music but finding it on a game like GTA is a bonus lol!
Joseph Calleja zaskakuje wspaniałością talentu.
STUPENDO BRANO E MERAVIGLIOSA INTERPRETAZIONE! Bravo a tutti! Dominique, Francia sotto il dominio dell'imperatore MACRON CHE NON MERITEREBBE questa musica' ottima dall'Italia!
Dit is de mooiste uitvoering die ik ooit gehoord heb
Absolutely beautiful. Wonderful.
Just brilliant...words fail..
Canto sublime ed immortale di questo capolavoro di Donizetti .
Questa Lucia , di questa messinscena , e' proprio grande , e quando sviene alla fine e' commovente .
In questa opera vi e' una delle piu' belle e drammatiche storie d' amore di sempre .
ah è solo di scena io pensavo che stesse male la cantante!
Non si deve scherzare su un simile capolavoro .
Cos ' e ' non le piace la lirica ?
Se è così cambia canale .
@@domenicodima5837 io amo l'opera lirica è la mia vita da una vita ❤ amo da morire la coppia Lucia ed Edgardo
@@spalancamente9812 Allora perché ha fatto quel commento di cattivo gusto ?
@@domenicodima5837 mi dispiace non volevo chiedo scusa
Bravissimi, interpretazione eccezionale!
I admit that the three stooges brought me here. But this is utterly magnificent.
This is fantastic!
Dessay just flings that high note at the end into midair....gorgeous....Music from the Heavens! Bravo!
Yes, she does.... but I have to say with respect it is not quite so gorgeous as that high note from Amelita Galli-Curci in the 1917 version with Caruso. Sorry!
@@davidrodger8246 She is not bad lol. I would love to hear her on today's technology or live. I always thought her soprano voice was one of the more impressive voices of old. I agree.
@@flyinghow You are right but sadly she retired from opera several years ago.
@@davidrodger8246 I'll listen to her again. I listened in the 80s and wasn't impressed, but our ears change with time
The departed brought me here
Me too
I never knew Snape had such a good voice!
That's not Alan Rickman.
@@WilliamDearthwd Yeah, I know. It's a joke because he looks so much like Rickman.
@@secretforreddit I caught that immediately too.
ma quanto è bello questo finale d'atto ,fantastico il fotografo
This stills fills my heart.
Un'amalgama di voci di rara bellezza,il baritono poi fantastico!!
Love Joseph as Edgardo
Meravigliosi! ❤
Just beautiful!!!!!!
It's hilarious to me you know? Because I love Natalie Dessay very much and here I was just scrolling random Wikipedia webpages when I found this opera and thought "oh! I'm gonna check the tracks out!" and then NATALIE DESSAY. She's everywhere I swear! Especially where I don't expect her to be!
One of the first times I heard this was the ending scene of the Looney Tunes cartoon: Notes to You. Then they also had it performed by Willie the Operatic Whale (voice of Eddie Nelson) from a Disney cartoon.
Un’esecuzione indimenticabile.
Que maravilhoso!
I know this aria from Disney's "The Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the Met"
Simply gorgeous
Just perfect!
Professor Snape?
RIGHT?! He was just the best in this role! It must suck to have the visage that sets you up to play nothing but villains but man, oh man! Ludovic Tezier was genuinely scary in this version and what an amazing voice!
Dude, I wanted to comment the exact same thing :D
VERDADE. KKKKKKKKKK
THAT'S IT!!!! And what's with the late 19th Century setting? Women were not chattel in this century, as they were in Scotland in the 16th. Sometimes these 'concept productions' just don't make sense....
Right, but there was still the practice of "marrying into a family" to secure fortune and position. Just read some Victorian novels, and you'll see the extent to which this was the case.
Extraordinario 👏👏👏
The best cast in all MET prodaction!
What a magnificent performance.
Grandioos; een prachtig sextet, mooie balans qua stemmen…
Its safe to say I’m sadly pig-ignorant of opera, watching this completely out of context and have NO idea whats going on. But, I was blown away by that 🙂👍🌪
Opera is sometimes purely sublime.
Well the bride was manipulated by her brother who wanted her to marry a rich man to save the family's fortune and while her true love (the tenor) was away, at war I believe, the brother intercepted his letters so she would marry the man he choose but an the wedding day, this scene, the true love (the tenor) comes back and tells her he loves her and he had writtent to her often. She realises she loves him and is greatly sadenned but i's too lte, she is married. The aria is about the tenor signing ''what is stopping my anger at this moment.''.. After the wedding, there is a ''mad scene'' (fabulous) where she kills her husband, and commits suicide and the true love, upon hearing this, also commits suicide (another great scene) bu take heart there are lots of funny and great operas with happy endings. Gianni Schicchi is one of them and l'Elisir d'amore and of course the barber of Seville and many many more. Nabucco, terrific.
@@fedodosto3162 Awesome summary!
No recuerdo una versión mejor... brillante!!
One of the guys looks like Prof. Snape.
Absolutely sublime.
Perfekt!
Met, don't you care about informing us who is the sixth voice (Alisa) in this SEXTET? srsly?
Goes to show that the MET isn't actually interested in music (anymore). It's all about making money. And you can only make big money as an opera company if you can show off with big names. It literally doesn't even matter if they can sing, judging by who has been singing main roles at the MET in the last ten years...
What a wonderful performance. And. What a great opera. I've seen it at the Met with Anna Netrebko. She just had a baby and she didn't sound that good. How good everyone was in this performance. Even Met has some not particularly good tenors. I once saw Barber of Seville and Figaro was just horrible. I wish it could have been Hvorostovsky. He was phenomenal. Sad that he died so young.
Now, more hits from the 60’s.
1760’s that is :)
Dov'è la versione completa di questa Lucia di Lammermoor? È da tanto che la cerco... È una meraviglia! 😍💖💖💖
Ah!...the "Six steppin Lucy" from The 3 Stooges! LOL
In all seriousness, I can't tell you a word they said, but this is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.
Three Stooges "Oh Elaine" Squareheads of the Round Table
GTA 3.Double Cleff FM.Memories!!!!!!!
Searched for this comment bro 😊
Bravo!
so good
this charming little inch's voice will just move the chandelier
Amazing
Sublime
Grandísimo
Bellisimo!!!
magnificent
This music was used in "Fitzcarraldo" by Werner Herzog.
Wow!
Can someone explain to me how switching from a seventeenth century to a nineteenth century setting adds the slightest iota to one's understanding or enjoyment of this story? Lovely vocal performance, though.
I don't get it either. Change for the sake of change?
I knew it I heard it in The Departed, but it was familiar to me somehow, I know it from GTA 3 that is!!!
EDGARDO
Chi mi frena in tal momento? ...
Chi troncò dell' ira il corso?
Il suo duolo, il suo spavento
So la prova d'un rimorso!
Ma, qual rosa inaridita,
Ella sta fra morte e vita!
Io son vinto ... son commosso ...
T' amo, ingrata, t' amo ancor!
Perche lo scrivi?
멋지네요!
Is there only this extract, or is the whole opera available?
I've listened to many modern versions of this but still haven't heard one to match Caruso and Tetrazzini with Jacoby, Bado, Amato and Journet. If I can't find it on youtube I'll upload my copy.
the three stooges, oh Elaine.
+Malcolm Dale Please do I have seen many versions but not the one you are referring to.
Oscar Moreno Oh Elaine, Elaine come out, babe, take a look, who's standing here right here, your dear Cedric's here, no kiddin', Cedric's here.................ELAINE: Oh, I see, I see my darling Cedric standing there, I know, I know I'll soon be in his arms again, let us leave, the Black Prince is looking near, Oh! I will raise the shade, the lovely shade when the coast is clear
No, Tetrazzini was wonderful, but for beauty of tone she never matched Amelita Galli- Curci, who can be heard in this with Caruso as well. That recording is something of a gold standard, but could do with more remastering. Maybe Michael McGrail could help here. I'll suggest it to him.
bravo
look at the chair at 0.30 then look at it at o.40. Live from the Met?
"Ne ha ingoiati tre di cantanti!"
Ricordate il cartone animato della balena?
Can anyone tell me what their singing about? It's very lovely though.
The first man who enters is Edgardo, he's in love with Lucia (the one
who faints at the end). The man who resembles Snape is her brother and
is forcing her to marry the young man she's sitting next to. Edgardo
begins by singing, 'who restrains me at such a moment?' Basically he's
arrived to find the woman he loves and intends to marry, married to
someone else. He thinks Lucia is willing but she isn't so their
individual melodies and lyrics reflect that. Lucia is lamenting her
marriage and wishing to die. Edgardo is angry and betrayed, wondering
why she would do this to him. The brother is singing about his
fulfillment at seeing the marriage he arranged come to pass. It ends
with Edgardo confronting the brother and Lucia and Lucia succumbing to
her sorrow. I wont tell you what happens in the next act but the ink is
some foreshadowing. :D I hope you get a chance to see the full opera
some time - it's amazing! It's too bad this cast isn't on DVD because
their the ones that did the Met simulcast a few years back and it was
brilliant! Cheers!
Thank You. I know this opera but you did great job describing it. I
so love this Opera.
@@LaPenserosa1 what an awesome description :) I actually listened to this opera several times before but in this particular scene didn't know what Enrico was singing. Thanks. That shows that he didn't understand what he's done until it was already too late...
The opera is taken from Sir Walter Scott's historical novel " The Bride Of Lammermoor ".
it's pretty much just six people saying "...uh oh" for a while
Prosit Joseph! Viva Malta!

@@Fede842 eh?
Can someone explain to me what I have just witnessed
“you want some coke? Don’t move til you’re numb”
If Downton Abbey was an opera.
Interessante
This song tears me up for some oddly reason throughout the song and puts my mind in a funeral gathering of myself in the coffin inside a church with my spirit at the side of my body. I will ask that this song is played for the finale of my funeral and will watch my relatives and friends grieve and cry for me from the start of this beautiful song. I slowly ascend to heaven from my coffin in spirit with the angels singing this song and watch slowly below the funeral crowd grow small and singing angels guide me to heaven. As I finally look down on earth and towards the end of the song thousands of angels sing this awesome song as I enter heaven and I'm surrounded by singing angels and long lost relatives that died before me.
This piece was used in (bear with me please) a cartoon from the 1940's (I think) where an alley cat was making noise and was shot. As he gave up his nine lives which left his body in numbered sequence the sextet sang. I heard it in the 1950's and spent the next sixty or so years looking for this melody and only recently found it. (I'm 79 years old and listen to it regularly now.)
наилучшее исполнение из всех многочисленных вариантов
Omaiga es el profesor snape
Ludovic Tezier!!!
What unsteady voices!!
Wish we had voices like the 60's and 70's. Wobbles everywhere.........
No kiddin' Cedric's here!
Did she mean to fall out at the end, or did they have to call the ambulance after this scene?
Love the music, but don't understand a word. Can someone please explain what's going on in this scene?... The photographer, the crowd in the background, the soprano fainting? Thanks.
She had broken her pledge of love and has reluctantly given into marrying another under her brother's pressure. Her lover runs in too late only to discover that the marriage papers are already signed.
@@GH-vu4qm Thanks, but what's with the photo setup and the crowd in the background?
@@mike48877 I believe they are the wedding guests and perhaps a wedding photography
@@GH-vu4qm Thanks!
I’m not ashamed to admit that The Three Stooges brought me here
Willie the Whale brought me here
Didn't know Professor Snape could sing opera!
