Is it here on youtube?

Jakob Krammer kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a6yHgpyls9S9hKs.html not quite as good as the Glyndebourne performance. It was originally on BBC iPlayer in the UK.

"Matthew Heywood" ~2020 « _Her 'O Zittre Nicht'... one of the best musical moments..._ » It could be after discovering her in this Glyndebourne Der Hölle Rache, where she not only renders very well the immense wrath, hatred, hell of revenge, but also the sorrow and regrets without which those wrath and hatred would not be explained.

She is Norwegian. If you can find a recording of "O zittre nicht" from the same Glyndebourne production - listen to the very final part where she goes up an octave - it gives me goosebumps of joy - each and every time!!

Gosh you're absolutely right. How do you do it Holmes

She delivers the song well but her words don't seem to land on Pamina. The power dynamic is off, and it's not her fault - the director should have spotted it

On the contrary, thismis the best Magic Flute I have ever seen, in more than50 years of opera going. I saw it at Glyndebourne twice and have it on DVD as well. Feel free to judge a whole production by a KZfaq excerpt but you’ll be wrong. Go and see this for yourself this summer at Glyndebourne.

Before criticizing others, and in particular what is in fact a brilliant, world class voice singing one of the most demanding arias in the operatic literature, I would take a close, hard look at my own singing if I were you. From what I can hear on your youtube channel, I'm tempted to turn your own words against you. Please remember that opera singers are human beings, working under immense pressure and highly demanding conditions to deliver to perfection. Behind what might in some cases be a sub optimal performance there might be hiding circumstances you know nothing about. Nerves, illness, a sore throat, exhaustion from working too much, jetlag, trauma, grief from losing a loved one...anything really. Have you ever considered the potential harm comments like yours might do to another person? Please keep that in mind the next time you intend to boost your own ego by putting others down. By the way I saw her in Rigoletto as well. Pitch perfect. She was absolutely stunning! 🙌✨

@@annewiklarssen1365 Let's see it differently: if, due to different reasons (jetlag, pressure, sickness, etc...pretty much the same you mentioned) I do a bad job, my leader will fire me. She, instead gets her money anyway, because us, the mere mortals, non-singers, because us aren't suppose to be critical (cause that is, ofc, boosting ego), but only to be full of admiration and to applaud. I don't think so. And I never said I do sing well. Far from it, as I am not a professional singer. As she is, if I am not mistaken.

@@Calogeropoulos If singers are sick or for other reasons need to cancel a performance, they don't get ANY money at all. Instead, most singers choose to, or in many cases are forced to, sing the performance anyway, because the entire show depends upon their presence. Finding a replacement on short notice is oftentimes not possible or too expensive for the opera house. In those cases, the singer goes on stage, and while they might succeed, they may also deliver a performance they for good reason are not happy with. You are correct; they won't be fired immediately (although sometimes this happens as well), but they are not invited back to the house, and they might get a damaged reputation leading to several cancellations and missed work opportunities in the future. They must also deal with bad press, rumours and backlash from people like yourself who intentionally write nasty comments on social media for no particular reason other than to create harm. Yes, professional singers are indeed professional, and they must face the reality of the world we live in where people are opinionated for better or for worse. They put themselves in the spotlight knowing that some are going to love them, others might dislike them. But seriously, do you think it is funny to post public comments like yours with such harmful personal criticism? If you didn't like the show, or her performance, don't go back to see it. Don't applaud it. Tell your close friends you didn't enjoy your night out. Don't pay to hear her voice again if it doesn't suit your taste. But don't show up on youtube making tasteless and hurtful comments like this one. Don't make a fool out of yourself by being a bully. If you are to be truly opinionated of the arts, at least have the balls and the wordly skills to give constructive criticism. This way of commenting, my friend, is just flat out disrespectful.

And what the hell do you know, exactly? It’s always the amateurs who have the most to say.

@@ryanlock2u So, according to you, because I am an amateur, am I am only allowed to pay really expensive tickets, and aplaud enthusiastically? That is, lightly saying, absurd.
