I enjoy listening live or recordings of the great voices of our time. Von Stade is one of these. Both mezzo sopranos, Stade and Braganca have given great performances. Sorry to hear of Braganca's passing.
I'm a REAL FLICKA FAN!!! (I named one of my cats Flicka!) I met her (and Samuel Ramey) after a concert at Brevard, NC in 2000. In 2003, she came to Hampton, VA (where I live) for a concert. At the meet and greet party after the show, I gave her a photo of her and Placido Domingo I'd taken during curtain call of The Merry Widow at the MET. She is a MOST GRACIOUS, GENTEEL, BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED LADY!!!
Now on a tangent. In 1992, I got a part in the Stockton Civic Theatre's production of Amadeus. The director, drama professor at the University of the Pacific (Dave Brubeck's alma mater) found a brilliant soundtrack made by the University of Wyoming. And I proceeded to fall in love with Mozart and opera. That summer the San Francisco Opera did a whole season of Mozart in honor of his 200th birthday. My mom gifted me tickets to 3. The Magic Flute, Cosi Fan Tutte, and The Marriage of Figaro. Starting with The Marriage where I heard Frederica Von Stade singing the part of Cherubino. In the middle of this aria I closed my eyes and I could swear it was an angel singing.
J'ai déjà laissé un commentaire sur une autre vidéo de Frederica Von Stade. Je ne m'en lasse pas.Magnifique. Même avec l'age Frédérica est impressionnante.elle a plus de maturité dans la voix et la prestation. Quel charisme.
Did they terminate the employment of whoever selected the microphone? It didn't even get through the first bars of the performance of a known powerful mezzo without showing annoying signs of inadequacy.
Фредерика - одна из лучших исполнительниц партии Керубино. И здесь отлично звучит, но голос у неё стал меццо-сопрано. Правда, это 1992 г. Почти 30 лет прошло.
Frederica is perfection in human form. Her voice is so powerful and amazing. God bless her.

The best Cherubino ever, simply amazing.
Can't agree more. She is the best Cherubino.❤❤
Oh Yea!
Her voice is deeper than the others I've heard used for this. It's lovely.
If there was an artist that could bring brilliance and sheer Beauty yo such event is maestra Frederica. Pure excellence!
Her voice is and was quite simply brilliance. 🌹🎼🎵🎶💝
Thats what Im missing with todays singers
The gift here is I’m discovering her in 2021. Love her x
Well I did in 1994. Still better late than never...

Flicka makes the world a much, MUCH better place. Just the most wonderful artist and human being.
I think it’s the dimples that do it for me. I’m such a fan

Perfection.
So beautiful, even better than the first time she sung it.
C'est une pure merveille.
merveille !
La voz mas bonita del mundo en la mujer más guapa y encantadora
von Stade was born to play Cherubino. And she always looked good doing it too. :)
1:14 All that introduction, but and he forgot to mention Frederica von Stade.
Does Flicka, blessed wonderful Flicka, really need an introduction? Everyone in that audience knew EXACTLY who she is.
Frederica
Too powerful. This must be passionate.
I used to be a simpleton. Not realizing that some women can actually grow better with age.
Yes. Especially in Flicka’s case!
@@janetflier6192 No. In everyones case. Hard truth.
She always had a very good technique-that's all.
It has nothing got to do with age!
Excuse my error spelling Berganza's name. I confused it with the name of a city that I have visited.
Flika forever

Das war vor 32 Jahren. Das war sie 47 Jahre alt. Also keine überraschende Leistung.
Way too much vibrato. Gross.
This is the voice type that sings this role. If you want a boy soprano/straight tone, you’re listening to the wrong repertoire.
Wow, Federica is amazing!
