Diana Damrau - without a doubt GeoWilliam750 Sep 2018 #1
I agree, very intense performance. And the costume is much better than this one: JHan Sep 2018 #2

where the person dressed her like she's the daughter of the jolly green giant -_-

"Despite being dressed as a head of broccoli singing to her pumpkin daughter in front of a child's finger painting, Diana Damrau still manages to give the most noteworthy performance" - the comments are gold.

Kudos to Diana for still slaying it.

I think I like the second one better even though it is not a part of a full opera or in costume.

is that in every performance of Der Holle Rache, you're not even aware of just how difficult that aria is because she becomes the Queen of the Night. It's incredible to watch.

technology but even with that her brilliance shows through.

As for worst costume, it's a horse race but I'll take Cristina Deutekemp for $500, Alex.


Thanks for posting these amazing clips.

Christina looks like she has a potted plant on her head, it's just so bad ( and unfair to her too)
