But her stage presence is so powerful that I didn't really care if some of the high notes were off. She put her fucking soul into Gilda last night. Sieglinde may have thought the "Caro nome" was sloppy, but when her final phrase drifted away I suddenly realized that I hadn't been breathing for the past few minutes. Honestly. The bitch is that good. She took my fucking breath away. At least during "Caro nome."<BR/><BR/>Yeah, if I wanted to quibble, I could find lots wrong with last night's performance. But I have not seen a Met performance as empassioned as Netrebko's so far this season. Filianoti's Edgardo comes close, but Netrebko is a dark dynamo more to my tastes.Chalkenteroshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08435851223758000117noreply@blogger.com
