Music video by Angela Gheorghiu, Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Sir Georg Solti performing "Sempre libera". (C) 1995 Decca Music Group Limited
This was my first opera I listened, when I was just six years old, Angela Ghoerghiu has an important place in my heart because I decided to study Opera after I listened La Traviata. Thank you, Angela, now I'm 15 and the next year I start to study as a soprano. I hope to enter in the Conservatory (I live in Milan and the Conservatory of Milan is very important in the world!!)

@@scotty6124 All I listen to is opera, have many recordings spanning the breadth of the genre and can tell you that the music is often times the only thing saving these creations. The plots, characters and settings were often the popular garbage of their times and suffered all the usual shortcomings of popular media. It was usually littered with spectacle and overwrought emotionalism as operas were incredibly expensive to produce so they had to be winners every time (think the blockbusters of their day). If you were a composer who had two failed opera's in a row, your career was pretty much over unless you had good standings and connections with either the aristocracy or financiers (depending on the time period). The press and audiences were just as brutal as they are today which added tremendous amounts of pressure to succeed. The point being, opera was often (but not always) risk averse with much of it being the stuff of parochial, historical tastes and trends much like media is today... but the beauty of the music is what saves it.
Impossible to"confirm" this from a performance back in 1994, unless there is some written or recorded conversation or interview by the costume designer. But you can judge for yourself as there are several RUclips videos about 'Sissi' and the portrait painter Winterhalter. Or do it the "old fashioned" way and look for some books about them. Both Angela and the empress were and are very beautiful women. "Sissis' life was portrayed in a series of movies "back in the day" starring the wonderful Austrian actress, the late Romy Schneider. Poor lady, the empress (not Romy), came to a very sad ending as she was assassinated and bled to death.Very operatic, in a way. So it goes... Life imitating art, or art imitating life?
If you watch the beginning of this production, the party, she has her hair in an elaborate updo with ornate flower/star pins, reminiscent of the empress's hairstyle !
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful! Irresistible Lady, sensible singing, brilliant aria! Beautiful everything. The more I listen, the more I’m falling in love with all of them!
I was never a huge fan of Angela Gheorghiu for a while, I thought she was a great singer, but it never clicked...and then I watched her in Traviata and she COMPLETELY changed my mind. She is so wonderful in the role of Violetta, I love her in the repertoire!
She looks so fragile and timid and happy, but, in fact, the all escene is a powerfull combination of natural talent and rigorous work. The result is a scary and worring vision of an inhuman perfection.
HoVedo in alcuni commenti il disappunto e lamentarsi che nel finale del brano, la GHEORGHIU non risolve con il DO acuto ma con un la bemolle basso(1^)ottava cosi come ha scritto VERDI nella partitura. Del resto i DO ribattuti nello stesso brano li esegue tutti e ben lanciati, squillanti, corposi, performance ottima.... In questo ruolo siamo abituati a sentire voci più leggere e più agili(M. CAPSIR,. A. MOFFO A. DANGELO., R. SCOTTO) per citarne alcune che addirittura risolvono il finale emettendo il MI bemolle acuto di 3^ ottava e questo certamente se ben eseguito suscita grande soddisfazione in chi ascolta e in chi lo esegue..... ANGELA meravigliosa al top come sempre!!!!! 💕💕
@@normanzurich2781egr. Mai affermato che ANGELA G. emette un MIb acuto, anzi cito alcune CALLAS,... SUTHERLAND...e le altre citate prima, che finiscono con il Mib acuto. In questa performance abbiamo la GHEORGHIU che finisce con :pen(mib1^ottava) sier(lab 1^ottava) chiave di sol. Vedere partitura TRAVIATA edizioni RICORDI pag. 76.cari saluti
Eflat is not written! It is class and elegance to sing it this way. It is one of the most difficult arias in soprano repertoire and the richer and mature the voice the less likely they are to even posses and Eflat.
And two days after discovering this video, I can now say I've watched it forty-seven times... it's an INCREDIBLE performance of one of my all-time favorite arias! My brain just goes numb every single time!
i cannot sing but it doesn't take a singer or a professional to see what's wrong and bad with this singing. i like gheorghiu, she's my favorite soprano of today but you have to admit, this is sloppy singing. the coloratura in "Gioire!" is obviously incorrect and she sometimes sound too shaky.
Since Verdi's La Traviata is a soprano's opera I'm terribly happy that I bought this DVD in blu-ray recorded at Scala di Milano conducted by Mazeel with Ramon Vargas and Roberto Frontali, that's a master piece and Angela Gheorghiu sang beautifully like a real Diva Divina collecting tremendous ovations not only during the opera play but at the closing opera as well as the end of each famous aria! She is indeed our GOD blessing! Let's pray to OUR Lord to take care of health, forever!
I just can`t get over her. Her voice is sooo humanly perfect. It`s so freely produced. god I never heard someone like her nowadays. and so beautiful still
All the opera singers sing so beautifully and so differently - they're all beautiful and charismatic in a different way. I just wouldn't know what to buy if I wanted to buy one copy of each opera I liked. I wonder how many are available from public libraries. It was lovely hearing Angela Georghiu singing with Roberta Alagna in the 1990s - they were both so good, they had such beautiful voices and it was very romantic having them singing together!
What a comment from a colleague of the guild..!! I cannot make any comment on your comment.. Angela IS great, and will always remain in the history of the operatic music as one of the GREATEST VOICES and one of the MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN on stage!! FOR SURE!! Long may you live, ANGELA GHEORGHIU!! We love you and admire you, and respext YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS. ❤❤❤❤❤❤🌷🌷🌷❤❤

Am avut sansa , onoarea si placerea sa o vad / aud la concertul lui Andrea Bocelli de la Bucuresti ( 25 mai 2013 ) . Am ramas profund impresionat de Angela Gheorghiu si este in top 3 pentru mine . Este o soprana de o valoare enorma .
@@claudiocorlazzoli1482 Senti, non si possono fare i paragoni con la Callas. E' fisicamente inopportuno! Perché la Callas era una divinità! Non si può paragonare un essere umano con una dea... La Gheorghiu è a dire il vero molto brava, mi spiace un po' che non abbia fatto il Mib all'ultimo, ma è stata meravigliosa comunque 💁♀️
Brava Angela and a great tribute to your idol, the wonderful Virginia Zeani. I hope all your fans will follow her as you have done with such sincerity.
Y’all prefer other sopranos but you always come back here to listen to Angela’s version , ahahahah , there is nothing to compare , Angela has the most beautiful voice ever recorded❤️
Totally disagree- not able to hit the high notes makes the performance not as good as a lot of other sopranos today like Oropesa, Feola or Nadine Sierra. Don't understand why she is not even trying to hit the high notes - mediocre performance to say the least
Voilo Sapete : E flat it is not a coloratura! Was not written by Verdi! And many orchestra directors lake Muti for example don't want to be sing!!!! Just what was written by Verdi... So go and speak with Muti and say that it should be sing :) :) :) ..........
That high Eb (6), there isn't on the Score. The last 3 notes, she sing “mio pensier”, Are: “mio” F (fifth line), “pen-” Eb (yes, it is but not high, fourth space), “-sier” Ab (second space). Singing the last two notes 2 “ottave sopra” (2 octave higher) it's an “puntatura”, and it became a tradition, but Verdi don't wrotes that. Greetings from Italy.
encontré esta belleza, esa voz tan hermosa de Angela¡ a los 12 años vi esta versión y quede enamorado de esta voz y de esta cantante tan bella, gracias por cantar tan bello
Someone shoot the damned director for not letting her bring down the house with a powerful Eb ( which we all expect and want to hear it. ) Idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SuperMinimozart Anyone who imagines Gheorgiu is an acceptable Violetta has woefully low standards, indeed. Callas, Sutherland, Tebaldi, Ponselle, Sills, de los Angeles, Cotrubas, Bellincioni, Ricciarelli, Caballe, Sayao, Moffo, Scotto, Varady, Gardow and Gruberova were all far superior to Gheorgiu as Violetta.
@@iloveopera1951 apparently??? How do you know that??? or you are just hoping - lol -- very disappointing again - and I really doubt the fact that George Solti had anything to do with it!
I love that tippy top notes are not squawked out like so many do because it's so high, but they're gently executed. It's a role that, like Norma, really proves to be a REALLY difficult feat because it is supposed to be sung by a full lyric, yet has this fast cabaletta that lighter sops do better. It's a killer aria.

What a treat. Her physical beauty can almost rival her vocal beauty. To me, the looks of a singer is secondary to his voice. But when a singer is so beautiful, I just have to say God is too kind to have given us someone like this.
where was the desperation hidden? hard to see... The score is written without E- flat at the end. The value of an artist is not given by a note. Ms Gheorghiu is not applying for the Guinness Records Book, or not in this sense. As far as I noticed, Ms Gheorghiu planned so far her career quite well, and she is the leading World opera singer without E flat in this particular piece. Read others comments and learn to listen to classical music. Appreciate it; it's not Olympic Games
Para mi la mejor Violeta Valerí, así como Tosca, una gran soprano a la que sigo desde hace años. Gracias por ofrecernos su voz y sus grandes interpretaciones para hacer más llevaderos estos años tan convulsos.
Shes really good. Not the best, but really good. I just wish she was less of a... how can I put it nicely?... a cow. Being talented does not give you the right to treat others like shit. Humility and good manners (or lack of it in Angela's case) may not show on stage but they do help others to like you.
Miss Ghieorghiu’s bell ringing quality can be dauntingly seduces my soft spot to my beloved Maria Callas. Her instrument may be just perfect in Puccini ‘ La Bohemia ‘ to highlight Mimi’s vulnerable but delicate character no soul can resist.
Angela Gheorghiu es una muy buena cantante pero yo no he podido superar la sensación de que cuando canta parece decir: oigan que difícil es esto y que bien lo hago. Algo parecido me sucede con Renee Fleming
(eye roll) Thanks Madam Librarian! I think we ALL know by now that Verdi never wrote that E-flat but one can't deny it has become an unofficial tradition; one looked for by many ardent opera fans. Unnecessary? Certainly, but so was that scrumptious chocolate ice cream sundae I had yesterday with dinner. The irony is clearly lost on Verdi "scholars" who scold "show-off divas" -- the inclusion of that note is fun, thrilling and ... DEFIANT! -- the very essence of Sempre Libera.
finalmente qualcuna che la fa come scritta, senza corone inesistenti, senza dimostrazioni di saper fare gli acuti, una ligia alla partitura, cosa che la maggior parte dei cantanti non cantanti non sanno che cosa sia!
Love how you added an (eye roll) to the beginning of your reply. Helped give your reply a bitchy Diva old opera queen feel to it. You simply must've gotten offended over the original poster's Diva comment! haha You sir/madam are no diva! :P In relation to the e flat I dont mind it but only when its done well though!
@truvianni Oh yes! he is a fantastic performer! Plus, I love tenor voices with a dark, rich timbres such as his and Kaufmann's. Also he is the tenor who has played the most roles! And that is certainly astonishing. I don't know much about him off-stage though, but I have never heard complaints from people who have worked with him. I also don't have many recordings of him but I have a CD of The Tales of Hoffman excerpts he recorded with Joan Sutherland that is amongst my top 5 CDs of all times.
Exactly. The interpolated E flat in 'Sempre libera' doesn't make dramatic sense, because as you noted, she doesn't feel any real, inner joy at this point. The note simply gives audiences a 'visceral' thrill, like you said, but it's out of context when you examine the character's true feelings at that point in the story. I think the only situation in which a soprano could add the note is in a CONCERT, where the aria could be performed as a 'stand-alone piece', outside the confines of the story.

Stunning, absolutely STUNNING performance! It's as Angela herself said: "popular music is for the body, but opera is for the soul."
Well said. I also think pop music is for the simple minded and opera is for those who actually feel and respect the art of singing.

I think the dress has been inspired by Empress Sissi's dress that she wearing on the portrait from 1865 by Winterhalter. Can somebody confirm this?

Write a letter/email/dm to ROH, this is the Richard Eyre production and it is around 25 years old. The social media managers might respond.
If you watch the beginning of this production, the party, she has her hair in an elaborate updo with ornate flower/star pins, reminiscent of the empress's hairstyle !
Marten Teemant I thought to myself! And the aria seems to fit Sisi as well, who always wished for freedom.

The best Violetta are all Romanians... Virginia Zeani and Angela Gheorghiu!
it origionally wasn't written, the e flat was only added later.

la meilleure ! C’est la première fois que j’entends toutes les notes de cet air..! Quel talent, quelle légèreté !
Where's the E-flat?
Frumoasã.Misterioasã.Superbã🇦🇩🌹🥀🌼 Love.Respect.
🌹👏
Sempre libera degg´io
folleggiare di gioia in gioia,
vo´che scorra il viver mio
pei sentieri del piacer.
Nasca il giorno, o il giorno muoia,
sempre lieta ne´ ritrovi,
a diletti sempre nuovi
dee volare il mio pensier
[Alfredo:]
Amor è palpito
dell´universo intero,
misterioso, altero,
croce e delizia al cor.
[Violetta:]
Oh!
Oh! Amore!
Follie!
Gioir!
Sempre libera degg´io, ecc...
Bravo bravo she got the energy and voice and everything she is perfect for this role 🥰
What a treat. Her physical beauty can almost rival her vocal beauty. To me, the looks of a singer is secondary to his voice. But when a singer is so beautiful, I just have to say God is too kind to have given us someone like this.
Say hi to my grandpa Benedict Gheorghiu. Heavenly loves.
where was the desperation hidden? hard to see...
The score is written without E- flat at the end. The value of an artist is not given by a note. Ms Gheorghiu is not applying for the Guinness Records Book, or not in this sense. As far as I noticed, Ms Gheorghiu planned so far her career quite well, and she is the leading World opera singer without E flat in this particular piece. Read others comments and learn to listen to classical music. Appreciate it; it's not Olympic Games
simplesmente lindo
Замечательная ( !!! ) певица !!! Молодец !!! Доброго ей Здоровья и больших Успехов !!!
A fine performance of a classic aria by one of today's great singers!
1:34 Folie!
Astonishing! I always liked her but i never thought that she is this good! Brava!
so high and beautiful
She’s good, but after listening to Joan Sutherland, I just can’t listen to any other version. 😂❤️
Same here.
Para mi la mejor Violeta Valerí, así como Tosca, una gran soprano a la que sigo desde hace años.
Gracias por ofrecernos su voz y sus grandes interpretaciones para hacer más llevaderos estos años tan convulsos.
Shes really good. Not the best, but really good. I just wish she was less of a... how can I put it nicely?... a cow. Being talented does not give you the right to treat others like shit. Humility and good manners (or lack of it in Angela's case) may not show on stage but they do help others to like you.
I think Gheorghiu is what Netrebko wants to be...
Miss Ghieorghiu’s bell ringing quality can be dauntingly seduces my soft spot to my beloved Maria Callas. Her instrument may be just perfect in Puccini ‘ La Bohemia ‘ to highlight Mimi’s vulnerable but delicate character no soul can resist.
Angela Gheorghiu es una muy buena cantante pero yo no he podido superar la sensación de que cuando canta parece decir: oigan que difícil es esto y que bien lo hago. Algo parecido me sucede con Renee Fleming
(eye roll) Thanks Madam Librarian! I think we ALL know by now that Verdi never wrote that E-flat but one can't deny it has become an unofficial tradition; one looked for by many ardent opera fans. Unnecessary? Certainly, but so was that scrumptious chocolate ice cream sundae I had yesterday with dinner. The irony is clearly lost on Verdi "scholars" who scold "show-off divas" -- the inclusion of that note is fun, thrilling and ... DEFIANT! -- the very essence of Sempre Libera.
finalmente qualcuna che la fa come scritta, senza corone inesistenti, senza dimostrazioni di saper fare gli acuti, una ligia alla partitura, cosa che la maggior parte dei cantanti non cantanti non sanno che cosa sia!
Love how you added an (eye roll) to the beginning of your reply. Helped give your reply a bitchy Diva old opera queen feel to it. You simply must've gotten offended over the original poster's Diva comment! haha You sir/madam are no diva! :P In relation to the e flat I dont mind it but only when its done well though!
ciao vale bosi credi sempre in te stessa e insegui i tuoi sogni🤍💜
AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
아 코로나 끝나면 오페라 좀 다시 보러가고싶다
La migliore Violetta che ci sia insieme alla Callas 🤩🤩🤩
Wow..like Sir Georg Solti said...she can do anything
Grande vibrato, coloratura exuberante, dicção perfeita, sincronia com a instrumentação e presença de palco magnífica: BRAVA!
@truvianni Oh yes! he is a fantastic performer! Plus, I love tenor voices with a dark, rich timbres such as his and Kaufmann's. Also he is the tenor who has played the most roles! And that is certainly astonishing. I don't know much about him off-stage though, but I have never heard complaints from people who have worked with him. I also don't have many recordings of him but I have a CD of The Tales of Hoffman excerpts he recorded with Joan Sutherland that is amongst my top 5 CDs of all times.
Nació para ser Violetta, y es la diva de su generación.
Eflat not written. She sang it the way it is composed. High note is normally interpolated...which I like but Angela is smart not to with her voice.
Incredible, I wish I could sing like this :)
이상하게 누구 닮았는데...
줄리아 로버츠 닮았 것 같다 ㅎㅎ
Why is this entitled this way? This isn't Anna Moffo!
She was gorgeous (and her voice was excellent as well, of course).
THE best Violetta hands down nowadays!
My favourite Violetta of all time. Brava Angela.
thank you, super
Ogni volta che vedo e sento Angela, mi fa ammirarla ancora di più; se questo è possibile! Bella! Brava!
Exactly. The interpolated E flat in 'Sempre libera' doesn't make dramatic sense, because as you noted, she doesn't feel any real, inner joy at this point. The note simply gives audiences a 'visceral' thrill, like you said, but it's out of context when you examine the character's true feelings at that point in the story. I think the only situation in which a soprano could add the note is in a CONCERT, where the aria could be performed as a 'stand-alone piece', outside the confines of the story.
ALL true... (still... it is rather WONDERFUL when pulled off by the right soprano... just saying!)
Lol
Muti fan?
Such an inspiration, it looks so easy

Non capisco perché quando canta “sempre lieta nei ritrovi”, la parola “ritrovi” la concluda prima del DO alto.
