He truly sings! He sings for his life! Amazing!

It’s an introspective song. His interpretation is a manifestation of his mental and emotional state in character. Absolutely amazing blend of stage movement and musicality. And his voice is of course like steel velvet.

It feels like a lot of the people commenting on this video are unaware of the concept of interpretation! Yes, he decided to give this aria a melancholy tone, but why does that make his interpretation any less valid? It’s time to stop holding performers up to the likes of Pavarotti and just enjoy opera. As for the acting, he has to project to the very top of the amphitheatre so it didn’t bother me at all. What I just watched was a beautifully sung, fresh take on one of my favourite arias, why not just leave it at that and stop with the frankly pointless criticisms!

i do not understand why people criticize him so much..he is a young man with so much potential and such a beautiful and melodic voice....i have been listing to him since the beginning of his Carrier and he is versatile and his voice is getting better and better..i love his voice and i applaud him...bravo Vittorio

Matteo Gasparri Permettimi di dire che Grigolo ha un suo carattere e non necessariamente deve conformarsi a stili sempre uguali.. Ricordiamoci poi che è l'orchestra a seguire il tenore e non viceversa. Può non piacerti, e questo riguarda solo un tuo personale giudizio ma non una sentenza condivisibile. Ricordiamoci che la strafamosa Gioconda conosciuta in tutto il mondo, al Louvre nessuno la guarda con tanto interesse perché è un piccolo quadro. Bisogna aprire le nostre menti e godere di cose proposte da diverse angolazioni, bisogna leggerne il sottotesto, cosa che pochi sanno fare. In questo caso il sottotesto è messo a disposizione dall'esecutore per il suo pubblico. Se non riuscissimo ad apprezzare e godere della personale e unica interpretazione di un esecutore, resteremmo per sempre dei pessimi e inutili critici.

I saw this production and I thought he was just perfect . I have also seen him as Cavaradossi and Hoffman . Such a shame that there has been such a lot of negative traffic about him . The production of Faust , which I saw with Michael Fabiano was very raunchy and I know he was Faust with a different cast. . Having been a performer I can tell you that sometimes your role can slip into reality unless you are very guarded . Even in amateur theatre there is a deal of snogging in the wings

Damn, these comments are more harsh than an audience at Parma.

Vittorio Tremolo

It ain't Otello, bro. 🤣 Grigolo is always on 11, and most of the time that's good. But this should be lighter. The voice, however, should be darker as it is at 2:52. That's a beautiful tone he should be encouraged to use more often.

UNA FURTIVA LACRIMA O pobre Nemorino vê a lágrima, de maneira incerta, No rosto da amada Adina e surge a ária Una furtiva Lacrima", da ópera 'L'elisir D'amore', de Donizetti, É, de certo modo, a nosso ver, arriscada assertiva. Nemorino delira de amor e, mui enternecido, sente: "Como se meus suspiros fossem dela, e seus suspiros fossem meus!" A impressão que se tem, na aparente Situação, ela pode também, numa época de vampiros. A Covid -19 começa a fazer mudança em quase tudo: Trabalho, lazer, passeios, viagens, relação de namorada, Onde tudo na vida sai da rotina e começa a ficar mudo. Há busca por novos rumos, mas dentro da roda girada É a densa consciência planetária indo pra longe embora Arrastando os valores que o dinheiro fez a arrancada.

Well, he studied with Pavarotti, who was notorious for coming in at the last second. Just watch some of his videos. :) You can see Grigolo looking at the conductor continually, and they are together quite well. This is the tenor's big number, and there's nothing wrong with taking some latitude. I've heard much more latitude than this. Opera composers of the bel canto era expected soloists to make arias their own. Listen how spare the accompaniment is on this. He has a beautiful voice and still growing and learning, so we have much to look forward to. He sang Hoffman in the Met broadcast last week and made it sound easy. I believe he could have sung it again. If you listened to his interview on the broadcast, he is well aware that he's criticized for the hands and the writhing and is hoping some French rep will help calm that down. He is high energy, to say the least. I mostly hear him on the radio so not a problem for me.
