DONIZETTI - LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR - ADELAIDA NEGRIs COLLECTION

LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR, was a signature role, within ADELAIDA NEGRI’s repertoire, along with many others. This video has a ’’horrible image’’, and a ’’bearable sound’’, but it shows us the incredible possibilities of the soprano’s voice. High notes like High C, D, E Flat, E, with the vocal power of TURANDOT, when normally the type of soprano that sang this repertoire sounded like a flute. Adelaida is a rare example of what the ’’Soprano Sfogato’’ was. At least without looking at the image, try to listen to the arias, the intention of each word, the beauty, and finally come to understand how dramatic LUCIA’s role was.
