@@ferrocinque3938 I'm not a fan of Bartoli's Cenerentola. I think Sonia Ganassi is better. But the best Cenerentola ever must have been Giulietta Simionato and Fedora Barbieri, in my opinion.

What an extraordinary recording. Clarity, expressive of the emotional moment, she is one of the great mezzosopranos and a lovely actress as well.

This is the best. I've listened to a few and others sound like they are so proud of themselves for singing all the technical stuff they forget to act. She mixes artistry and technicality perfectly. And her upper and lower register are natural and smooth.

Her registers are so perfectly blended so her legato is smooth and her coloratura like butter! The character abandons potential resentment for a purity of loving intention-it’s a spiritual ascension. Utterly unique in opera! Kudos to Rossini, and to his peerless interpreter!

Totally agree with everyone who said this is the best Cenerentola ever! It has everything - gorgeous singers (both in looks and vocals), beatiful production, wonderful Rossini's music and the best conductor for it. A treasure for generations.

stupid as f**k i guess... the best cenerentola of all time is by far Cecila Bartoli: kzread.info/dash/bejne/o4qOsNpsadu_maQ.html thats a fact by 99% of all experts in the world

Frederica von Stade has the most beautiful voice of mezzo I´ve ever heard. God bless her!

Frederica looks and sounds beautiful! What a lovely surprise to stumble upon!

io c'ero...Lei veramente indimenticabile , peraltro voce poliedrica e molto bella, e avevo ascoltato sia la Horne...che la Berganza...ma anche la Terrani....che ricchezza di personalità e intenti...momento irripetibile...fu girato come un film ...momento topico .Che meraviglia e che ricordi .....

I do think that von Stade is one of the best Angelina's on record. She has all the elements that you would have wanted for the role: looks, charm, a natural and beautiful tone. One may criticize her coloratura technique but she is more than capable of singing the ornaments :)! In short, she is wonderful ^)!

I agree with Julia, the best performance ever. Von Stade is an angel, both in looks and voice. What a genius Rossini was, and how lightly he wore it.

Not only great technique, but one of the nicest people you could to meet. I saw a recital of hers at Pick-Staiger Hall in Eveanston, Il back in the early 80s and got to meet her afterwarrd. Charming, and gorgeous.

My favorite! Both my boys performed with her when they were at The American Boychoir School in Princeton she was very warm ❤️

Absolutely beautiful, voice, stage, mis-en-scene...!!!! LOVE IT...!!!!!

The ultimate and unsurpassed performance directed by Jean-Pierre Ponnelle. Even more than 30 years later fascinating and fresh. The beautiful, radiant and charming Frederica von Stade as Cenerentola on the peak of her career. Her smooth mezzo sounds wonderful. Francisco Araiza is equally excellent; he is one of the best Rossini-tenors ever. Simply great and perfect singing, acting and music. Pure Perfection.

A brilliant performance by a brilliant woman. She is my favorite Cenerentola!!

I remember watching this for the first time and tearing up; bringing forward genuine emotion in a Rossinian opera is a great feat for contemporary productions which both Frederica and Ponnelle deserve the utmost respect for achieving with this version.

god I love fredericas voice sounds effortless and has a lovely timbre and she looks lovely when she sings not all contorted and strange facial expressions like bartoli and erraught so elegant and sweet no one compares

Well you can say that, which I agree entirely concerning Great Frederica von Stade, without having to create intrigue and hate to another great great artist. Each have their own crucial role. Music is after all not about looking at pretty faces. Although it may be sometimes, when possible, a nice recent add to it.

I agree they are both great artists, but I think you are overreacting to criticism of Bartoli. Saying someone makes faces (expressing emotion) is not at all equivalent to 'hate' directed toward that person. I think we need to be kinder and gentler to one another on the internet. Please kiss and make up.

What! Perfection again! Well, what else could expect? It's Frederica. Kudos as always. Thanx.

Великолепное исполнение! Браво!!! Каждая нота в колоратурное спета филигранно! Как-будто проиграна пальцами по клавишам! Это высший пилотаж! Браво, браво, браво!!!

Yo tuve en honor de verla e directo en Granada. Me enamoró su voz y ella. El timbre más bello que he escuchado. Ella, además de guapa, elegante y con clase, es encantadora.

I’ve always Loved her voice and precise musicality She is also a real person without the histrionics of some prima donnas

Flicka, so beautiful then and now... Thanks, beloved Flicka, for so many hours of happiness!

I always loved Frederica Von Stade's voice in all the many years I have been an avid opera lover. I also enjoyed the many roles that she sang especially Mozart's Le Nozze Di Figaro and La Ceneretrola. She has a special warmth to the role that she sung over the many years.

To date, Flicka is the only Cenerentola that can make me cry. Love her.

"The Triumph of Goodness" was part of the title, and no-one better exemplified that than von Stade- goodness radiates out of every tone.

Bel-Ami Margoles :: You're right ! This opera is about Goodness and von Stade is really sweet & forgiving. I was never a fan of her voice but here she is lyrically beautiful. If it were me, I would have had the sisters beheaded as soon as my Coronation was over ! 😆

Achingly beautiful. Brings tears to my eyes.

The 80's was such nice period of time for these opera films. I can still remember play the LD with the cassette of subtitles :)

Indeed, she is excellent in this role. Sweet, gentle, demure.

Fantastic production - I haven't watched any Opera production more often than this one - it's simply sublime in every way.

I LOVE mezzo-sopranos the best, and Rossini's La Cenerentola is my most favorite opera. I was lucky enough to meet Frederica von Stade in person after a recital she gave in Hampton, VA in May, 2003. She was so gracious and friendly. I had just seen her do The Merry Widow at the Met with Placido Domingo a few months before. (I gave her a framed snap shot of the Merry Widow curtain call I'd taken.) I'll always remember meeting her.

Lovely! She has a vulnerability and sweetness in her voice that is captivating. Bartoli is wonderful in a different way. Less fragile and more ebullient. I like her tough spirit.

Joyful and beautiful. What a gem.

Goodness that lady had class, not to mention a beautiful voice and formidable technique.

Wonderful Flicka in a lovely dress for a change. Subtitles always appreciated.

J'adore, je regarde souvent "La Cenerentola" dans cette interprétation, grâce à You Tube. Magnifique!!!! La "diva" de nos jours qui chante ce rôle, malgré mon admiration pour elle, ne me plaît pas autant!

Her face and voice is so pretty...

Gorgeously sung, beautifully acted, and sumptuous to see. Going to look for the full production next. Reminded me of the Washington Opera production I did years ago as a part of the mens chorus.

Federica con stade es maravillosa y lo mejor que he conocido un abrazo y la producción más hermosa

Impeccable, un enchantement de la fable surquel les petites filles ont-elles faite des rêves.

None better than Von Stade!!

absolutely stunning. Theres no comparison to her in my book!

That's why I prefer dramatic Sopranos or Mezzo-sopranos because of the richness of the voice they have that most Sopranos don't have 😍😍😍

Love this film of Cenerentola - and love von Stade. She is absolutely stupenda. Only one who's better here? Lucia Valentini-Terrani (God rest her beautiful soul!). Too bad there's only a really crappy video of Lucia doing this at youtube.

I LOVE this aria/ending. It is so beautiful. I think Frederica does a great job and really embodies Cenerentola. I think Francisco Araiza is a brilliant prince also :). I literally have watched this version of the aria 20+ times.

This is one of the very best performance of Flicka available on video....outstanding!!

what a lovely and poetic way of performing this piece...she does it with an admirable lightness, such a deep sensibility...

I never have seen such a decent beauty in my life, may be nor in human history ever so far. A perfection itself. Venus freezes with silence.

there's no word good enough to describe this.... Speechless...

She is the best Cinderela, this rich tone kills me...

She sings great and that´s a Coloratura Mezzo indeed doing great a Coloratura Contralto role!

perfect performance !!! perfect actors !!! perfect acting !!! perfect costumes !!! perfect !!!!

from the Ponnelle production which is probably the greatest production of this opera. Wonderful singing and acting from von Stade

Lovely, just lovely - great great production, great Federica

You couldn't express it better...she is unbelievable, so endearing. What an exceptionnal person!! :D

That chest voice! 🤩🥰🏆🙌🏼🎶

just one word: great!!

She is so beautiful.

Sent some of my poems to her through her manager.. Never heard back from her but, I can imagine her incoming mail must be huge.

WOW! 🤩 È bellissima e ha una voce di un angelo!! È perfetta! 💖

kudos to Ponnelle and the producers for making those great productions possible. This Cenerentola, Ponnelle/Abbados Barbiere version with Berganza, Alva and Prey and the Ponnelle/Böhm Nozze with Prey, Fischer-Dieskau, Te Kanawa and Ewing are the Gold Standard for the respective operas.

Era... y es, amigo de Honduras, aunque ahora tenga 63 años y arrugas en el cuerpo. La belleza de Frederica ha estado siempre no sólo en su figura, en su rostro y en su sonrisa, que como Ud. dice, eran maravillosos, sino en su voz y, sobre todo y muy por encima, en su persona, y esta belleza sigue estando intacta.

Frederica is my favorite soprano along with first prima Lucia Popp.

What fun! Ah, Ms. von Stade had a gorgeous voice, fabulous technique, and great stage presence. Brava Flicka!

I am extremely in love with her voice, what a beautiful timbre and such a fantastic technique!!

Your description is just perfect. Frederica von Stade is THE ultimate Cenerentola, the sweetness, luminosity, incomparable charm, no one can buy that. I was in disbelief lately, because some (jealous) zealot claimed she "didn't pass in the film" because of the closeups "with her yellowish teeth". That's all you have to say about a film that's still a masterpiece 30 years later? Besides, Araiza was never hot with the other singers as he was with her. ;) People can be such assholes.

wonderful! what a lovely voice it was at that time.

Flicka is a lyric mezzo and will be officially retiring this year. I was so lucky to have been present at her-accidental- Met debut and to have heard her in recital last year. She is a gracious and lovely off stage as on.

Ahhh, A Mezzo. Wonderful. Wonderful.

This gave me goosebumps. Wonderful and effortless.

I enjoyed von Stade very much as Cenerentola: charming and good looking!

I remember watching this production on tv. Thank you for posting this!

Exquisite perfecton in every facet and from every angle. Von Stade is the only Cenerentola I've heard who rivals the incredible beauty achieved by the great Teresa Berganza in this role.

невозможно хороша!)) да еще и поет как ангел) настоящая принцесса)) И музыка , настоящая радость для души и ушей ) голос потрясающий , тембр ласкает слух
