Bless those online translators! Otherwise I'd still be here trying to link each word to a word in a libretto. My Italian is very, very poor. Thanks for sharing...
I've uploaded a short clip of Devia's solo bow in Stuarda. Don't get too excited, no singing but I'm sure you've all got the inhouse or broadcast already....
Hello everybody! I'm new to the group and i thought i would introduce myself to you all; my name is Theo and i'm obviously a huge Devia fan :-) Luv to see she...

Hello all; I've posted Mariella's Bell song; some of you may have it already some not; i thought it was a good way to start file posting :) since it is one of...
Welcome to the group Theo and thanks for uploading this! I just got back from a trip and haven't read my emails yet but saw that long and juicy article you...
This was such a great article! I like how it focuses on Bellini. Most Devia interviews discuss her superb Lucias. A few points that I found especially...
Hi Scott! Isn't it great? Devia's voice was at its creamiest at the time. I'm pretty sure this is taken from the Lugano recital 1992. Perhaps Violetta Valery...
Perhaps Violetta Valery would like to confirm this unless she's not well again...nasty illness that TBC. LOL :-D; yes, nasty bussiness consumption, luckily it...
I have posted the first aria and cabaletta from Maria Stuarda 25/3; thanks to some nice friends ;) I have put it on rapid share because it was too big for our...
Unfortunately Theo, I doubt she'll perform Norma now. I've also read in one of her interviews that if ever, she should have done it in 2001 in Japan. Actually...

I bet that Casta Diva was fabulous. I'd give an arm and a leg to hear it; I know she sang it in a concert and the people there were just amazed - "the miracle...
Hi Theo! I think her best partners ever were Blake as a tenor (listen to Puritani!!!!) and Ganassi as a mezzo. I hope you downloaded the concert Devia/Ganassi...
Hello you all I am glad to see that this group is now very active with new devia friends. Thanks to Takis I have been listening this week end to LE NOZZE DI...

Thanks for extracting the Elettra aria from that concert Theo. I think Devia did a better job with it during the Ancona performances in 2002 but this later...
Yup, I'm thinking :).... It's a great idea to build a database, it's gona be a huge project and will have to feed it with info all the time since most of her...
Joaquin said smth like : "does she really know how great she is..." that phrase has been ringing in my ears ever since his post... And though it wasn't a...

Now, we'll have to see how I can send you my arm and leg :)) Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly the date of the concert where she sang this little jewel....
I look forward to singing Che gelida manina for you Theo...ugh! how grotesque! Nor do I unfortunately. I was given this gem by one of our members who doesn't...
Ah :( and just when we were about to get romantic... Are you gona let a little thing like a severed manina, stand in your way? But you do realize, mio caro...
Hello group, I just wanted to share a video I posted for a friend. This a first for me, so I am not really sure how it all turned out. I had to compress the...
Hi all, here are some reviews you might be interested. The opinions on Devia's Desdemona vary...were they all listening to the same singer? Personally this...
This is a review of, possibly, my least favourite Devia Lucias. On the recording it felt rushed and not as affective as most others Lucias. I'm therefore not...
And finally, this is a review of the performance I'm listening to right now. One of Devia's last Ilias before she turned Elettra. Enjoy! Takis ... Domingo...
Though I usually know what critics accuse her of, there was one review, the one from The Guardian, that absolutely appaled me... The accusations seem so...
