Aria from Diva - Wilhelmenia Wiggins Fernandez
Fernandez sings the aria "Ebben? Ne andrò lontana", from Act I of Catalani's opera "La Wally." The piece is a haunting reverie on the theme of traveling alone and far from home. Catalani died in 1893 of consumption at the age of 39, only a year after the triumphant premiere of "La Wally" at La Scala. This performance plays a prominent role in the 1981 French romantic thriller, "Diva" - and is an excerpt from the DVD. Roger Ebert, film critic for the Chicago Sun Times, rates the movie 5 stars out of 5.This is one of the most frequently "favorited" videos on BestArts. See the others at http://www.thebestarts.com/bes... opera, based on a German novel, has a libretto by the young Luigi Illica, who went on to collaborate on the texts for "La Boheme," "Tosca" and "Madama Butterfly." It tells of a wild, headstrong Swiss mountain girl who loves one local huntsman and is loved by another. Eventually she wins her true love, the pair embraces high in the Alps, an avalanche entombs the hero and she leaps after him to her snowy death.

Unless there was some sort of emergency - this IS her voice. She has sung alongside the likes of heavyweights Placido Domingo and starred in the Opera La Boheme in Paris however I don't know where she is or what she's doing now. Maybe she's raising a family - no idea. If anyone knows please shoot me a response. Thanks!

Even though I am not into opera, I am so amazed by the sound of her voice. So pre and graceful!

I'm not an expert ear in opera but the first time I saw this scene, I was amazed at the amount of control she has over her singing - It's so smoothly transitional at times it's almost like someone just turning up the volume steadily up and down. This was amazing and I wasn't even into opera. beautiful.
