I was in the audience. First time I ever saw a standing ovation for an aria at the Met. Sent chills down my spine.

He made Pavarotti so proud of him, Pavarotti is smiling in heaven with pride.

Javier sounded even better in the encore than he sounded earlier, and that's saying something. He knocks these gigantic notes out like it's nothing! And that salute is so cute too

I was there that night, I don't think the crowd would have let the performance move on without the encore. Camarena is pure bliss.

AT LAST! Have we just witnessed a throwback to the last golden era of Tenors? Please bring him back to the Met! More please!

My most beautiful memory at the opera, i was there with my mom and I will remember that moment forever. Thank you Signor Camarena.

He is a brilliant singer, but he also carries himself with such a great energy. It’s the combination makes him so special to me. So pleeease dear MET let Javier sing more often on Met in Cinemas 🙏 Love from Germany 💜

Oh how Donizetti would pride and smile at this. The sublime realisation of one of his finest creations.

Thanks Duolingo for bringing me here. Such an outstanding tenor!

Just saw Javier on stage here, the same encore at the Royal Opera House, absolutely flawless performance, we could not stop applauding, bravo!!!

The next time this production comes back to the Met, we need to have him come back. He’s extraordinary. Very few singers get that kind of approval from an audience.

Bravos bravos MAESTRO chapeaux cet opéra vous va bien malgrés ces difficultés 👍💙😍🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

I listened to this live on the broadcast, and there was never any doubt he would hit all the Cs.

The greatest! Bravissimo! ¡Javier Camarena! Congratulaciones! You did it again! Proudly Mexican!

In Australia the highest praise we can give for this sort of performance is - YOU LITTLE BEAUTY! Javier deserves YOU LITTLE BEAUTY! - Repeated nine times.

Saw him last night in the Metropolitan HD transmission here in Greece. Phenomenal!! The encore was fully justified.

I’m crying to see this. Maestro thank you ❤️ viva Mexico!!!!.

The encore is even better and higher! ...wow.... I love his facial expressions too, he makes a very adorable and cute Toni he adds a different personality to the character... like childlike... like an adult full of hope.... he has personality

We are so lucky to live in these times of amazingly gifted tenors! (Despite Coranavirus keeping us away from the opera houses... I can't wait to get back to see live performances) I've seen Juan Diego Florez at the ROH and the Met and I can't wait to see Javier live!! So exciting! How lucky are we to have TWO extraordinary Tonios.. Maybe three.. Lawrence Brownlee)

I just got back from this. pretty phenomenal 😍😍👏👏👏👏

I was there! I was effen there! And the moment he began the aria an electric thrill went through me. I knew that I was witness to a bit of magic on stage. I hope to hear him sing this again in March as I just got tickets for his L.A. recital. I better bring tissues for the tears of joy!

He had an incredible run at the Met with the Fille, Seven presentations, seven encores, in the last one I was at the Met, and in his encore he not only did 9 High Cs he did 11 High Cs, probably the best interpretation of this aria at the Met ever

Just went to see this Opera and Camarena is just fantastic.

saw him today live at the movies and he’s such a sweetheart! Tonio and him are one and he was simply amazing!

Con tenori sempre cosi!!! ) Una nota---- e bravo!!!! BRAVISSIMO!!!!

Javier was so amazing and it was relaxing to hear how easy it was for him. Second act the director forced him to kneel when he should have been standing for the end of his aria. I wish directors and designers would stop interfering with singers who should be telling them how they want to portray their characters.

Que hermoso, felicidades, grande Javier Camarena, ¡tu voz lo llena todo! Viva México 🇲🇽

Wonderful performance yesterday, Javier Camarena is really exceptional in this role !

ALL DAY LONG!!! Feel blessed to be alive to see this history. And yes, the encore was even better!! Bravissimo!!! x 2!!!

Javier Camarena orgullo de MEXICO 🇲🇽 para el Mundo 🗺!

What a ring to the voice! Bravo 👏

outstanding ! - excepcional ! (merci beaucoup Javier Camarena)

Híjole, felicidades Javier! Bravooo!!! Te estaba escuchando por la web, ahora veo el video! Otro orgullo latinoamericano! Saludos desde Lima!

Maravilloso, apoteósico, espectacular...terminé llorando. Javier eres espectacular

Bravo, Tonio! Thank you, maestro Camarena! As Anthony Tommasini wrote in the NYT, "18 high C s for the price of 9"!

He is amazing. I love when they pair him with Pretty Yende. And the conductor Enrique Mazzola loves singers and supports the singers; some conductors at the Met make the singers an afterthought.

Impresionante!! Y su sonrisa al momento de escuchar la ovación. Se le ve francamente feliz. Bravo por él!!!

Me encantó!!! Gracias!!!

Da capo Javier,outstanding performance. Gracias

What a beauty! I've came back to this video about a 100, it is a delightful and charm interpretation

Can't wait to see it live on saturday !

Bravisimo javier Camarena. Magnífica voz y excelente interpretación.

Perfect. Watched the opera for the fifth time and getting better with Javier

I saw this Live in HD and told everyone I knew about this performance right here.

I'm new to opera, and "teaching myself". This gave me Goose bumps!!

If he ever puts out an album I PRAY he puts this on it😍😍my favorite song and my favorite tenor💜💜💜

From Mexico 🇲🇽 with love

His voice is so smooth! I love it.

Omg! He's voice is like cream... What beautiful timbre (it's superfluous to talk about his extroordinary technical habilitation ... Just wow WOW!!)

Today, I saw him during the simulcast he was fantastic da capo

Dos visitas en el Metropólitan con la hija del regimiento y la Cenicienta y un vistazo en el liceo muy pocos han hecho eso ,grande Camarena el mejor tenor del momento

He's simply fantastic. It was outstanding singing.

I hope that on March 2 is the first Bis in a live broadcast in hd, Tu puedes Javier! Regálamos ese honor a los mexicanos! :)

he is incredible !!!! CHAPEAU, Javier !!!

Ah! mes amis, quel jour de fête! / Ah, my friends, what a day of celebration! Je vais marcher sous vos drapeaux. / I will march under your flags.

Ah! quel bonheur oui mes amis / Ah, what happiness, yes my friends, Je vais marcher sous vos drapeaux. / I will march under your flags.

Et ce doux espoir de bonheur / And this sweet hope of happiness Trouble ma raison et mon coeur! / has shaken my mind and my heart. Ah! mes amis, quel jour de fête! / Ah, my friends, what a day for celebrating! Je vais marcher sous vos drapeaux. / I shall march under your flags. Pour mon âme, quel destin! / For my soul, what destiny! J’ai sa flamme et j’ai sa main! / I have her love and I have her hand! Jour prospère! Me voici, / Day of prosperity! here i am, Militaire et mari! / Soldier and husband! (CHORUS: Mais elle t’aime?) / (CHORUS: But does she love you?) J’en fait serment! / I swear it!

Javier Camarena mi favorito excelente obra de Donizetti

Wow….my mouth is open…

Javier haves a glorious voice. His performance goes beyond the High C.

🎉 Bravo! 👏👏👏Orgullo mexicano ❤

Una merecida ovación Lo escuchamos en vivo a traves de OPUS 94, aqui en Vancouver: Bravo!!! Bravo!!!

I remember listening to this performance and was blown away by the encore.I had only heard one other encore in my entire life and that was one month after 9/11.A performance of Nabucco.Chorus of the Hebrew slaves.When the audience demanded an encore and got it,I burst into tears.

Fabulous!!! Grande Javier Macarena, bravisssimo!!! thank you for sharing!!

Grande Camarena

Spectacular!!!

Orgullosa!! De el triunfo ovacionado y merecido de mi compatriota!!! BENDICIONES!

Lo vi y me encantó.

Meu Deus que potência vocal. Bravíssimo!!

Он спел лучше,чем величайшие исполнители..надеюсь,я не один так считаю.

love how clear he sounds also his face! he has charisma

Excelente!!!

In all my (many) opera attendances I've only seen one encore, and it was a chorus performance (Nebucco). I've never seen an individual do an encore, let alone such a difficult aria. BRAVO!

Fantastico ! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

amazing!!!!!!!!

BRAVO!!!!!!!

I first heard of Sr. Camarena in a Spanish-language podcast on Duolingo.com Early on, his mother urged him not to pursue musical studies; she feared he'd end up sweeping streets. He is magnificent.

He's brilliant! Most impressive!🎼🎶🎵🎭🌹❤️👍🎧🎭❗

If they don’t release the Camarena/Yende run of this on DVD, WE MUST RIOT.

with the bis he sings 18 do di petto....best tenor in the world

One of these days I would love to hear it with 18 high C’s (or maybe one or two MORE in the encore)…AND A HIGH F!!!!!

Super!!!
