Jul 26, 2008 - the figaro operas are italian operas, one of which written by a german speaker, based on french plays, telling stories about spanish people; carmen is a french opera about spanish people; madama butterfly is an italian opera about american and japanese people; lakme is a french opera about english/indian people, etc etc. it's not the least bit uncommon.

Jul 26, 2008 - i disagree, Jo's technique is way better than Chenoweth, about the acting i can't tell much of both.
mharden13 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - Technique is important in a recital or concert setting, but Kristin Chenoweth's performance would be more interesting to watch.
elom17764 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - That depends of what you like, it would be great to watch an awesome singing and perfect acting, but if i had to choose i'd rather awesome singing.
VivaLaMerman Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - sumi jo has beautiful technique and amazing high notes, and granted her acting here isn't as good as chenoweth, but remember that chenoweth HAS to act it full out because if she didn't people would focus more on her vocals. cheno's high notes don't have a great sound to them, so she has to kind of work with what she's got.now i think the vocals in this are superb and i'm sure if sumi has to act it full out she could.

Jul 26, 2008 - I see that there is a lot of debate about he mixture of acting and singing each of the performers use, but without a doubt, I am most impressed with Damrau.She really summed it all up in one nice package.

Jul 26, 2008 - Apologies,"the" mixture of acting and singing each of the performers use.

Jul 26, 2008 - Of the versions I've heard by colouratura sopranos (Dessay, Damrau...), I think Sumi Jo's English is clearer, but her acting sucks. I love her voice though for this aria! Wonderful...except the acting and somewhat retro hair...
SsteinwayS Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - She's so adorable and modest at the end...but she doesn't do some randomly lascivious/creepy laugh like Dessay or Damrau! waaaaa...

Jul 26, 2008 - Wonder what gay bar they picked the title from.

Jul 26, 2008 - FINALLY another Cheno fan!
Iareto Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - I personally love Jo's voice in this aria, but, as with everything else she sings, I am not fond of anything above a B-flat when she sings it. I find her middle and middle-high beautiful, but her high notes sound so thin and kind of shrill to me. She is wonderful though, especially here.
CammiedCSA Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - She is VERY talented... but i have 2 agree that Kristen is not really" better" but she puts more soul and energy in it.
AnanasZombie Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - Beautiful woman has a beautiful voice. <3
onlyatclonlara Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - I PERSONALLY enjoy Damrau singing this compared to all of the other versions.I felt she encompassed both Jo and Chenoweth not to mention her own drama. Maybe a bit over the top but she definitely was spot on. This doesn't mean that I don't like either Jo or Chenoweth I just think that Damrue needs to be recognized as much as they have been.
