Liceu is YouTube-ing

.

Counting on the fact that everybody can have a bad evening and opinions reagarding performances are different most of the times, let's move on. As Dr Arizona Robbins says in the end of an episode of Grey's Anatomy (episode 8, season 6)

Good dreams, good dreams here to stay

Bad dreams, bad dreams go away

Online comunities become more and more important in spreading the news. You meet new people, find out what's going on in the world without any effort. I'm talking here about Facebook and YouTube. Legal or not, YouTube revelas hidden treasures every day.

Today I became friend of a friend on Facebook. That new friend had a link on his page. A link to YouTube. I clicked on it and in a matter of seconds I was transfered to Grand Teatre de Liceu Channel. A lot of companies have such a Channel. San Francisco Opera has one. EMI and Deutsche Gramophon have one. And if you subscribe, each time you log on to YouTube there are all the new videos posted by them. But... back to Liceu Channel.

Surfing inside (and there are hundreds of high quality videos from 1999 to present - recitals, concerts, operas, ballets) I found a video that I haven't seen before. It's from L'Elisir D'Amore, in June 2005, part of 2004-2005 season. With Angela Gheorghiu as Adina and Giuseppe Filianoti as Nemorino. This fragment is from act II, "Prendi, per me sie libero". Lovely, isn't it?

The press had only nice wards to say about it. El Periodico says Angela Gheorghiu está construyendo una sólida historia de amor con el Liceu. The article isn't online anymore, but a small fragment can be read HERE.
