GRUBEROVA sings Zerbinetta (pt. 1) from Vienna 1982 Posted by: operadude32
Video duration: 468 seconds Edita sings Zerbinetta from this 1982 production of Ariadne auf Naxos directed by Filippo Sanjust. This is the same production that was filmed in 1977/78 for the film now available on DG. It goes to show you what a year of study (daily) at the piano will do for you. PRACTICE makes perfect.

Video duration: 268 seconds Edita sings Lucia's mad scene from a complete production from the Staatsoper in 1982. A poorly lit scene (or at least video) but it is taking place in a Scottish castle after all! Some nice use of chest voice also! One can hear and see why this role became one of her calling cards.
