Catherine Naglestad - Alcina

G.F. Händel's opera "Alcina".


in the first clip, soprano Catherine Naglestad is wearing a pretty sexy transparent dress. she's in love with a male character played by a woman - the kissing is real, so it's a bit lesbian.

in the second clip her breast pops out of her dress while she's delivering an aria - awesome!

the third clip sees her topless from behind while she's changing dress.
this is my first post in this great forum, so please be kind to my mistakes.

more to come (clips, hopefully not mistakes)

Now if anyone could find a clip of her doing the Dance of the 7 Veils from her Salome performance in Paris a few years back

see article quote:
Taking up this point, just before Salome dances, she looks towards the cistern (in this production, a large cage that slowly glides in from stage right; see my opening night post for a production photo) and points. After the dance, as she's naked, Naglestad grins mischievously at Iokanaan, who is on stage (his cage slides in at some point during the dance and remains there until some point during the Salome-Herod power struggle). Her expression seems to say, "I'm gonna getcha!"

Naglestad gave a ferocious performance, as the copious sweat on her face would attest. She's a major star here--I've gotten a large number of hits to this blog from European (mostly German) visitors Google-searching her name and "salome" and/or "paris"--and it's not hard to see why.

strange, I've downloaded every "Salome" performance I could find, but never came across this one, would really like to get my hands on it. although she may not strip nude in this performance.

tnx for the hint!

Actually there are many more nude Sopranos to find (mostly as Salome), I posted the list below on SexyandFunny Forums a few years back;
Carol Neblett in Thais, New orleans, 1973 (full nudity)
Carolyn Sampson in Semele, New York, 2004 (full nudity)
Hildegard Behrens in Salomè, Madrid, 1985 (full nudity) finally bought DVD and posted clip to SexyandFunnyforums in 2009

Josephine Barstow in Salomè, Amsterdam, 1994 (full nudity)
Helen Field in Salomè, Los Angeles, 1998 (full nudity)

Erika Sunnegårdh in Salomè, Malmo, 2007 and Milwaukee 2008 and Bologna 2008 (full nudity) - brief clips have been posted in several forums but the full performance would be a find!
Gabriella Ravazzi in The Golden Cockerel, Trieste, 1974 (topless)
Francesca Patanè in Macbeth, Modena, 2001 (full nudity) and in Salome 2008
Angela Denoke in Makropoulos Case, Paris 2007 (topless)

Salomè – Top less performances by Sopranos
Marquita Lister
Inga Nielsen

wow, that's an impressive list! could you please post here in this forum any clips/pictures you already have?

here's more (from memory):

karita mattila in "Salome", MET 2004, fully nude


Angela Denoke, Salome, Wozzeck (topless)
Catherine Malfitano, Salome, 70's or 80's, nude
Catherine Malfitano, Salome, 1977, transparent topless
Deborah Raymond, Salome, nude
Eva Mei, Thais, topless
Laura Aikin, Lulu, transparent topless
Maria Ewing, Salome, nude
Sybille Ehlert, Le Grande Macabre, full frontal nude

some of the clips are already posted here, will post what I've got so far (with more details if known) over time.

not to forget the German soprano Nicola Beller Carbone photo posted previously on this forum https://nakedonstage.forumfree.it/?t=55249513
there are 3 separate series of video clips on her website but none of the Dance of the 7 Veils.....they obviously filmed it; someone has it; another one to find!

ok, here are my findings so far. maybe an admin could move all these replies to a new, separate thread, naming it (i.e.) "the quest for nudity"?

2 clips from my (still unsorted) collection:
Erika Sunnegårdh, obviously from a salome performance in florentine; low res, short topless scene.




here's a discrepancy: the name of the file says it's Deidra Palmour, but an index pic (obviously of the same scene) says it's Cynthia Makris

fantastic!

RE: Ursula Prem, I have seen and downloaded both of the widely-posted videos of her nude performance as Salome (one as the finale to the dance of the 7 veils and one at the very end of the opera where she is carrying the head of Jochannen and they have been posted on several sites, the question I have is where can we find the entire video, it looks like it was broadcast on one of the German art channels... her performance totally nude for a prolonged time period in the final scene is unusual and the video ends before she meets her untimely end if the opera follows the libretto of Richard Strauss....have you ever seen the whole performance, any one?? The only other soprano that I have seen perform this final scene with total nudity is Carole Farley's 1980 performance in Caracas which was filmed by an amateur on VHS tape.
