Surely one of our very best sopranos at the moment 2023

I was lucky to watch the entire performance, I really really loved Nadine's portrayal of the Countess, both vocally and artistically. She was very lovely and cheerful, reminded me of how the character was in Barber of Seville.

Nadine in the fine tradition of wonderfully trained American singers. Her voice is glorious and she knows how to show it to its best advantage.

Bravo, Nadine! Excellent performance!

Praised for her vocal beauty, seamless technique, and abundant musicality, Nadine Sierra is being hailed as one of the most promising, young talents in opera today. She was named the Richard Tucker Award Winner in 2017 and was awarded the 2018 Beverly Sills Artist Award by the Metropolitan Opera. Having made a string of successful debuts at the Met, Teatro alla Scala, Opéra national de Paris, and Staatsoper Berlin, she has become a fixture at many of the top houses around the world. On August 24th, 2018, her debut album, There’s a Place for Us, was released under the Deutsche Grammophon/Universal Music labels.

Beautiful!

Incredible. The beauty of the lady as well as her singing. And of course Mozart‘s genius.

Beautiful singing.Brawo Nadine Sierra.

사랑합니다.

I like this -- is it the previous SF Opera production that was recently streamed or someplace else. I saw her in SF production about six years ago.

💐👏🌹

Wonderful

Congratulations

Carol Vaness is amazing as well...

Would have preferred it without the additional ornamentations but still a wonderful version - now one of my favorites.

Recitative E Susanna non vien! Sono ansiosa di saper come il Conte accolse la proposta: alquanto ardito il progetto mi par, e ad uno sposo sì vivace e geloso... Ma che mal c'è? Cangiando i miei vestiti con quelli di Susanna e i suoi co' miei... al favor della notte... Oh cielo, a qual umil stato fatale io son ridotta da un consorte crudel che, dopo avermi con un misto inaudito d'infedeltà, di gelosia, di sdegni prima amata, indi offesa e alfin tradita, fammi or cercar da una mia serva aita! Aria Dove sono i bei momenti di dolcezza e di piacer, dove andaro i giuramenti di quel labbro menzogner? Perché mai se in pianti e in pene per me tutto si cangiò, la memoria di quel bene dal mio sen non trapassò? Ah se almen la mia costanza, nel languire amando ognor, mi portasse una speranza di cangiar l'ingrato cor!

Beautiful, but no one has ever matched the lyric beauty of Arleen Auger.

😂😂😂😂😂

Nadine Sierra kills this! This is one of Mozart's most spectacular showpiece arias. I can't accurately judge, since this is just this one aria, but, i would say that the Sierra ranks with Diana Damrau, Renee Fleming, and Dorothea Roschmann as the best countesses i've seen.

So sad the Met hasn't had a good countess since Renee Fleming in 1994 and 1998.

She is a fine singer. I don't think the heavier lyric repertoire is right for her.

Such a beautiful Countess! And yes - Rosina hasn't entirely disappeared into matronly resignation here...She's young and spirited. But I'm not sure about the interpolation. In theory they're fine - but here they interrupt the flow of the line. Could be reworked.

I know this sounds elitist,but I'm.struggling to find the artistry here. Just very solid singing

"remotely close" nice expression.

I sang this in school! I still have the music

ciao la castafiore !

After shwarzkopf , difficile de l’égaler.

Sierra's voice is radiant and beautiful here as always. However, the interpolated vocal ornamentation (while tastefully done) is superfluous and detracts from the performance IMO. Mozart's score is perfection as is. Extra decorative effects are unnecessary and unwanted.

Я слушала певицу в партии и это было очень достойно!В Графине голос звучит крикливо и нервно.К идеальным Графиням ,например,Шварцкопф или Кири Те Канава,даже не приблидается.И потом,это не Россини и фиоритуры просто неуместны

Meglio se avesse interpretato Susanna

Too much ornamentation but overall very pretty

Is this a recent performance? It lacks her usual fire & emotion ... not as passionate as some of her previous performances. Still, a performance that most would be happy with. I would enjoy her even if she was singing Mary Had a Little Lamb.

I’m going to disagree with most of the other comments here. Her voice sounds too light and not creamy enough for the Countess. It also lacks precision and is not fully supported.

Her voice is boring and not very distinct. The ornaments are very jarring and distracting, worsened by the fact that her voice is so plain.

Renee Fleming singing Dove Sono popped up in my feed after watching this. It makes me a little less forgiving of Nadine. Nadine is the Ariana Grande of opera. She is technically proficient, but her voice lacks character. Yet the public loves her. Don't get me wrong. Nadine is a decent singer. Decent and nothing more. When compared to the greats like Fleming, Te Kanawa, Oropesa, Dunn, she is simply mediocre.

✅ singing 👎🏽 acting

So sorry, but this is run of the mill singing. Nothing special. And where is she coming from psychologically? Nowhere that I can locate.

Beautiful singing but too many ornamentations..why bastardize it

Does not even come close to the sopranos who could actually sing Mozart (let alone touching Fleming). It is a little tragic that people deem this quality singing (?) Poor technique and no beauty of timbre. Luckily, Oropesa saves this with her Susanna.

A rather ordinary interpretation, with unfortunate attempts to improve things by adding some unsuccessful "personal touches". Even so, it is rather mean to put this lady in the same thought as Renée Fleming. Few sopranos today merit such mistreatment.

Susanna maybe. Not the Countess.
