This is surprisingly good. I mean, she ain't Renata Tebaldi, but for an amateur -- even someone with formal training, as she apparently has -- it is well-executed. It's clear that she actually knows something about classical singing, and is not one of those who gets up there and fakes it -- badly -- through "O mio babbino caro." It's also true that she's mic'd, but that goes with the territory.

Just read an interview about this woman and a link to her performance. OK. She's not a professional opera singer and both the mic and acoustics were horrible. Still,it was enjoyable. Reading the comments here I'm reminded what a snotty bunch opera fans are. It's that level of catty snobbiness that keeps opera from being enjoyed and appreciated by more people. If nothing else, Ms. Cantrell did a service by bringing a dramatic opera classic to those who might not otherwise ever hear it. I mean no disrespect to call it workmanlike. Certainly not professional but darned good for her age and training, to say nothing of the awful conditions she performed in. Brava!

operakatz Uh, you're joking, right? She is LITERALLY a trained professional classical opera singer singing an aria from Madame Butterfly, one of the most well known operas by Puccini, one of the most well-received operatic composers of all time. You should prolly go ahead and take that "opera" right out of your name. Or explain you mean the web browser and not the music.

+TR5T That shrilling voice of a wounded witch is produced with the immediate assistance of the MICROPHONE mechanism that she possesses! Are YOU blind? Take it from one who knows, she has NO REAL OPERATIC TALENT! SHRILLS, ALLY-CAT SOUNDS are NOT produced by REAL OPERA SINGERS with excellent technique!

@operakatz 9 жыл бұрын

+TR5T Um, with a microphone? She was not producing a lot of sound, the sound system was doing that for her. She was creating no space for the voice whatsoever and showed zero understanding of the character at that point in the opera. Yet again another facsimile of "opera."

@TheAelishify 9 жыл бұрын

+operakatz Ok, good. I heard the performance and was super unimpressed, but everyone seemed to react so positively that I wasn't sure if I was missing something. It was just so flat. Dynamically and theatrically flat. I'm chorally, not operatically trained, but it sounded way to tight to be a well done piece.

Maybe think about the settings around and the mic it was videoed on and how the acoustics were. She’s young and not trained. Betty Cantrell came from rags. That’s her natural talent. as you said “for somebody who knows this, it was hurtful to listen to” not everybody in that house knows what opera is like just like not everybody may not know she came from a trailer park and never got to experience formal training to please the ears of those who like to go around and comment rude things like you did.

An honest sleazy pop song would have worked nicely instead of ruining something that is meant to be perfect and sacred. Don`t get me wrong, I listen to cheap music myself, actually I would kill myself If I lived only on Mahler and Verdi and all the great spirits out there reminding us how far we are from authenticity today. BUT opera IS about perfection, not (just) about how fast one is brought to tears. And is definitely not about glam. When you have the real thing, you really don`t need the simulacra (hashtag Andre Rieu as well). So for all the people here seeking emotion, please do look for the numerous and perfectitious renditions available on KZfaq at least - great emotions come with great technique (though not always vice versa) and each single human being deserves such an elevating experience.

Title means "You, You, Little God". This takes place when Mme. Butterfly, aka Cio-Cio-San discovers that her husband has gone back to the states and got married over there. She then tells her son that she had by this betrayer that it might be the last of her. & Mademoiselle Cantrell looks like she's ready for the NY Metropolitan Opera.

@jewelmarkess 8 жыл бұрын

+James Lehr You are kidding right? She is nowhere ready for any professional opera theater. Do you have a clue as to what the competition is in opera? Oh, and the Met is a 3800 seat theater and there are no microphones there. Singing a role in an opera much less in a theater such as the Met is a far cry from singing an aria with a microphone in a beauty contest. Watch the Met documentary "The Audition" some day to get an idea of what the competition is like in the opera world.

hell no. I can probably sing louder than her even though I'm ten years younger. She has no training, and the tension is worrying. Just, if the Met hires her, I will flat out refuse to listen to anything because that means they have no better alternative.

Emotionless delivery, sharp, and unnatural vibrato (wobble), and obviously not really opera given the microphone. Good for an amateur, but I wish TV would stop presenting opera as something that people can just bust out without formal training.
