El Stefan Zucker va un poco de listillo, pero con Marcella Pobbe no le vale.

A lo mejor es papel de contralto...como no me he leido las cartas de Verdi...

Lo cual nos haria descubrir un sentido del humor muy peculiar en Verdi, mas alla de "falstaff"

Según Verdi, contraltos son Ulrica y Quickly! O al menos eso leí.

Yo ahora las que me he leído son las de fournier

Esto en mi casa se llama contratenor natural o alto ejejeje
gracias por la información wimsey

Hay por ahí una transcripción de parte de las entrevistas...

LA SIMIONATO DE LA BARBIERI

SZ: Barbieri told me you impeded her career.
GS: She impeded her own career! Although she was a fine artist with a beautiful voice, she had a short vocal range so she couldn’t sing all the works I could on account of my extensive range. She even would strangle on a [high] G!

LA BARBIERI DE LA SIMIONATO

Fedora Barbieri: Simionato was not really a mezzo but a short soprano. Her voice had nothing to it below G or G-sharp. She was only able to make a career on account of her lovers. She didn’t know how to sing. She should be ashamed of herself! She went ahead only because they pushed her, because she was the lover of big shots!
SZ:Which big shots?
FB: She had Frugoni [Cesare Frugoni, the eminent doctor she married]. For 20 years I didn’t go to the Vienna State Opera because she was the lover of someone from the theater. That’s how she got ahead. She did all kinds of bad things to me! I can’t look at her or listen to her or anything. She is the most evil woman in opera! Write that Fedora Barbieri called her that! She’s invidious, bad! She wants to teach but doesn’t know how and ruins all voices. She demands 350,000 lire a lesson. She’s bad, perfidious!
Gianna Pederzini was a great artist even if she wasn’t a true mezzo but really a soprano. She was good.
Gabriella Besanzoni told me I was the greatest Carmen and the most beautiful mezzo.
Simionato was abnormal. Don’t speak to me further about her!

Eso es un hormigas blancas de la lírica!

Cuanto grappa habia tomado la barbieri cuando dijo eso?

lo acostumbrado, justo y necesario

y encima tiene el rostro de decirle al entrevistador "mala lingua!"

Jo*er, qué puñalás se pegan!!!!

1. Me encanta el video

2. Son puñaladas traperas, pero son muy italianas. Me recuerda a la película que protagonizó la Ricciarelli hace poco "La segunda noche de bodas", en la que una anciana italiana dice algo asi como

"Mira que irse a buscar una p**a de fuera, con la cantidas de p***as que tenemos en el pueblo"
