I love listening to ladies hit these low notes with such richness and power. Truly fantastic.
That must be the most beautiful, round, full low G I've ever sang by a mezzo before!!!! Brava Mariana!!!

WOW. YES MA'AM. Thats exactly how I want to hear this aria. Beautiful!
La Signora Pentcheva è straordinaria.Una voce come cene sono pocche, una tecnica stupenda e una interprete assolutamente convincente. Anzi direi di piú: vederla sul palcoscenico è un´esperienza unica, una favola. Grazie per aver cantato in Montevideo!
This is Ulrica ! The high notes clear and in place while the low notes sound as from other world ! Brava ! ❤❤❤
She's incredible... amazing!! What a voice!!
My favorite Ulrica of all time!!!

@jeremybrown9824 Parlando della Ulrica- La Nicolai, La Barbieri, Kosseva, Lilova, Obraztsova - erano a mio parere anni luce migliori della Penceva. Dal vivo nessun confronto possibile. Mariana Penceva - vocalità poco raffinata, canto degno del Conservatorio degli anni ottanta… il vecchio
❤❤❤Прекрасна ,Марияна.Хиляди пъти,брависимо.Неповторима.
Mariana Pentcheva is my first choice now days for this aria. In past time was the great Obraztsova.
FANTASTIC BULGARIAN VOICE !!!
Une très grande Ulrica. Quelle magnifique contralto!!! J'adore :o)
She sings that low G with such ease!!!! Ahhhhh sick
i am profoundly impressed !
This is what a true contralto sounds like! Brava!!!

What a beautiful voice ... a wonderful contralto! I always loved that scene but I never heard someone singing it with such clear deep tones ... and as dramatic as it comes. I love it

Brava Mariana ! Sei sempre eccezionale 👏👏👏
She is great, she is my voice teacher now! Im so happy to be her student
Brava! She is sensational!
Outstanding performance! Bravissima!
This is the most fascinating voice I have heard for years!! Maybe greater than my idol Ewa Podles and by far the best Ulrica in Un Ballo of about 10-15 I have listened to. Who has better shown her affiliation with the Devil and all other demons in the underworld? Nobody. Who has this extraordinary range? Tell me if you know any.

Para mi gusto, no es contralto.es mezzo con gran rango en los graves.
Stunning!!!!
The best Ulrica all the time ❤️❤️❤️
For my opinion it is the best interpretation of this part.

Molte sono le cantanti che hanno cantato bene quest'aria, ma la Pentcheva non ha nulla da invidiare a nessuna.
SOOOOOOOO Powerful. A nice contralto.

Cristina Barbieri ''bravissima'' ?! e dove la sente questa voce bravissima ?!...
It's not a witches scene, Ulrica is a medium performing a seance.
WOW!
Totalmente! Nunca vi en Montevideo alguien de su envergadura. La mejor Azucena que vi!
Pentcheva sings/sang mostly as dramatic mezzo, not contralto.
one word: wow

Un buon contralto con estensione al registro del mezzo soprano. Buona interpretazione.
Then, we are more than "on the same frequence" : we are friends ! IoI Ponselle is my all time supreme idol ! :)
Increíbles ❤️❤️❤️
she is a beast.
Wow
We definitely are on the same frequence ! :)
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH U
Bravo......
Spettacolo... da paura.....
yes :):):) AND as I see you love Ponselle so as I :)
low notes are quite well done. Change into the higher register, not bad, but wanting. Ewa Podles is one to 'look to' for this aria.

Yes, Ewa Podles is the best Ulrica and also the greatest contralto ever!
Actually the part originally called for a fortune teller in Sweden. I am not racist or stereotyping, but there were not many Swedish blacks in 1792. The reason Verdi had to change it was that Roman censors did not want to show King Gustavo (an actual king) getting killed, due to some political motives. After, he had to change it so that it was based in Boston around the end of the 1700's and had to use Riccardo as the name for the title and Madame Arvidson for Ulrica.
👏
Is a DVD of this available? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Hey, it's Salvatore Licitra...or Marcelo Alvarez??
...What a pair of lung... she has natural resonators....
yes thats true :):):)
I heard a lot of singers who sang this aria, and she is the best
Хороший качественный голос, не без недостатков, но нет оснований называть его "контральто". Для теперешнего "безрыбья" - хорошо. Но до славных образцов вокального и актёрского воплощения этой партии, созданных такими великими певицами, как Симионато, Барбьери, Образцова - далеко!

Bellissimo. Peccato che i sottotitoli in francese non rendano per nulla il significato vero di quello che la maga dice!!
@mrantiquedealer Your opinon could be better respected if you explained why is it so horrible to you, because by just writting horrible the only message your giving is that your trying a bit too hard to say something different.
Have you heard Obraztsova in that aria here on You ?Tube
Sorry what happened to Shirley Verrett and Florence Quivar. Giulietta Simionato, Fedora Baribieri, Ebe Stigiani. Irina Arkhapova, Viorica Cortez. Just some of the Mezzo's who might have sung it half decently as well.
The low notes are great, but the command of the line in general is not. Some wobbles and her sound dips in and out too frequently.
Gonfia inutilmente il registro grave a scapito dell omogenita . Corto il registro acuto
give some breathe to her cause she needs
No, the bottom wasn't there, she forced it. Nothing to compare to Ewa Podles. And yes, I HAVE seen Podles as Ulrica, here in Houston, Texas.

Lmaooo right ! Podles is woofy, woofy, woofy. No tone, no vowels, no strenght. She has a low voice but it's unusable because it's so weak.
Obraztsova is the best ulrica everrrrr !!!!!

Pas très beau,mais relativement efficace.
Very impressive. But technically rather weak, especially the top notes.
Obratsova has a big voice ,and she makes ulirca very heavy like she is .Pentchevas high notes sounds like a chicken
Horrible! The whole thing!
