I believe this is too Opera ? Anyone heard about her ?

Jackie Evancho is her name , and she did a duo with sarah Brightman !

On the basis of the 3 clips, I'm voting for Franco Corelli. Because the 'vincero's are what the whole aria is building toward and he makes them sound easy, even the last one with a smooth transition from the B to the A.
I had to laugh when the people encircle him and strike poses while the chorus is singing 'Il nome suo nessun sapra..' and he's looking down like where the hell did you guys come from?
I like the Mario del Monaco one, but he kind of blows off the last vincero which for me takes him out of the running to be the best. Although I guess he isn't required to hold the notes - it's just what I'm used to hearing.



It reminds me of what you might hear at a recital, not professional level singing. Yes, I realize she's a kid. But I have no idea what famous opera singers were doing as children or how they learned - probably protecting their voice was the most important thing. And they changed the aria - left out 'O Dio, vorrei morir' and a 'Babbo, pietà' and ended on a high note.

She is rather good. Her voice, is obviously, Soprano ^.^ I really like her voice, I am not sure even why. I guess I can feel her emotions behind the music

Shes gives out free stuff! :D

@ Levera - Her voice is very beautiful.
@ Bodhie - Love her interpretations of the Strauss 4 Last Songs.

Milada Subrtova - O silver moon (Mesicku na nebi hlubokem) Rusalka/Antonin Dvorak

She has such a beautiful voice. @_@ <--- my dazed face

I would love to go to an actual live Opera, I do believe that would be so amazing, and a beautiful tone to my ears :D

We don’t have it here but to be honest In the last 3 Month I may have watched 4 hours TV all together.
Because I moved in a new house and there was a cable problem so I had a TV but could not reseve any programs…grrrrrr but know finally it works…
The only think I know about it was the persiflage from southpark.

It's not as good as seeing it live, but somebody put the Opera National de Paris production of Rusalka from 2002 with Renee Fleming on youtube.
Part 1
Part 2

Rosecity, you cease to amaze me with your taste in Opera. I absolutely loved it.

So, here comes my question:

Does anyone like "The Phantom of the Opera"?

Not opera, but you might like it.

Pie Jesu - Requiem - Gabriel Fauré

That was utterly amazing! I loved it So amazing. Thank you, Rosecity!

Does anyone here like Sarah Brightman? She wouldn't classify as "Opera" but she has a beautiful voice

Think of Me---Sarah Brightman

I LOVE sarah Brightman but then...Jackie Came and she did a duo with Sarah..and Sarah got squached But I still love Brightman because she has awesome song like 'Deliver Me' and 'time to say Goodbye'
