Puccini: La Fanciulla del West - card scene, with English subtitles.
Переглядів 5 тис.3 роки тому
One of the best examples of the "Verismo" genre in opera (verismo meaning realism) in which the characters live and breathe with raw emotion and passion. Puccini was one of its foremost exponents; and his opera "The Girl of the Golden West" is an actual "horse-opera" based on David Belasco's play, set during the California Gold Rush. Here is the hair-raising confrontation between the title-char...
Bizet: Carmen - Seguidilla and preceding scene, with English subtitles.
Переглядів 4,8 тис.3 роки тому
"Carmen" is probably the most popular opera of all. Set in Spain, it is about the fatal attraction between a free-spirited gypsy girl and a soldier, here performed by Agnes Baltsa and Jose Carreras. Although Carmen's signature-tune is her famous "Habanera", here is the Seguidilla (and the scene leading up to it) in which she seduces the soldier Don Jose. The entire performance is available on D...
Verdi: La Traviata - Act 2 duet, with English subtitles.
Переглядів 11 тис.3 роки тому
One of the most beautiful and certainly among the most moving duets in all opera. A powerful confrontation between a reformed "fallen woman" and the father of the man she loves. In a minimalistic modern staging (from the Salzburg Festival 2005) which magnifies the essence of the opera in a extraordinarily vivid way. With excellent performances by Anna Netrebko and Thomas Hampson. The entire per...
Rossini: Il Barbiere di Siviglia - Rosina's aria, with English subtitles.
Переглядів 18 тис.3 роки тому
A prime example of operatic "bel canto" - literally "beautiful singing". This genre of opera places great demands on vocal skill and dexterity; and allows singers to strut their stuff! But it is NOT mere showing-off, as the vocal pyrotechnics are also expressive of what the character is thinking and feeling. This is certainly the case in Joyce DiDonato's superlative performance as Rosina, in th...
Mozart: Le Nozze di Figaro - opening scene, with English subtitles.

A lovely video with which to introduce newcomers to opera! In a classic production, featuring Bryn Terfel and Cecilia Bartoli in the superb cast. The complete performance is available for streaming from Met Opera on Demand.
Tchaikovsky: "Eugene Onegin" - final scene, with English subtitles.
Переглядів 30 тис.4 роки тому
I have uploaded this video because, in my opinion, it firmly validates opera as music-drama! And it would thus be a great introduction to anyone who wants to explore this amazing art-form. This is an excerpt from a FANTASTIC performance, starring Anna Netrebko and Mariusz Kwiecien, which is available on Blu-ray and DVD from Deutsche Grammophon and for streaming from Met Opera On Demand.

Kecak - Ramayana dance-drama in Bali.
Переглядів 6 тис.7 років тому
The Kecak is a form of Balinese dance-drama, depicting the story of Rama and Sita, specifically Sita's abduction by Ravana and her subsequent rescue by Rama and Hanuman. It is performed entirely without musical instruments, accompanied only by physical sounds produced by the "chorus" of male dancers, who go into a trance at the beginning of the performance. Fascinating, hair-raising, even hypno...
Meryl Streep as Florence Foster Jenkins - Queen of the Night aria (complete)
Переглядів 1,8 млн7 років тому
The purpose of uploading this video is to share Meryl Streep's incredible artistry in and as "Florence Foster Jenkins" with as many people as possible. It is worth noting that the music was NOT pre-recorded. In other words, Meryl Streep sang "live" as the cameras were rolling. That makes her performance all the more remarkable! (The piano was also played "live" by the actor.) An edited version ...
😂😂😂
1:26 When I first tried singing this song, my voice was also like that 😭
This is what i play if i want to annoy my neighbors. Lol
Achava que minha única dúvida sem resposta era se Capitu traiu ou não traiu Bentinho até ver essa ópera 🤡.
The pianist is so underrated Thats some massive talent 🎉🎉
She sounds like a toddler's squeaky shoes in the staccato parts.
Que siga sólo dedicada a la actuación, no al canto
Oh my gosh I’m in stitches 😂
The talent it takes to sing that wrongly is amazing.
She nailed the "alle Bande der Natur" part, like the real Foster Jenkins.
At least the notes don't lose their identity as staccatos 😂
Try not to laugh during this performance! You can't! Absolutly great❤ This is medicine for your soul.
뭐냐고.. ㅎㅎ 피아노 간주 부분 박자가 엄청 빨라진 거. 얼마나 빨리 끝내고 싶으면 그럴까 싶어요. 그리고 마지막. 반음만 더 올려줘요. 제발~ Db과 D의 차이가 엄청나네요.

Too funny😂
Well, we might see a Eurovision Song Contest 2025 (Junior Eurovision style)
Yikes!
Non capisco che c'è da ridere, ora sono tutti peggio di così ma con l'autotune
Sounds a bit like a turkey ha ha. But in fairness, despite her being a very good singer, this piece is so difficult and high, getting it spot on is probably so hard
at least people don’t fall asleep 😂 they’re laughing instead

F’ing brilliant!!
Das ist wunderbar~!
Fantastic movie
That staccato was like being quacked at by an angry duck. God bless FFJ.
I own the original shellac record of this Florence Jenkins aria, and this rendition with Meryl Streep is definitely better. It's so sweetly terrible from Meryl, but the original recording is insane.
Из какого это фильма?
Обалденная Мерил!!!!!
Briljant!
Mozart would have loved it. Handel would have held he out of the third storey window and threaten to drop her. Verdi would have made her sing it over and over again until she got it right (which would have been never) and Beethoven may have tried to save what was left of his hearing if it hadn't have already left him. Though the NERVE of the woman was tremendous.

Her german is flawless
Incredible :)
Как она вообще оказалась на сцене? Я в ванне так же пою!!!
she sounds like a dying chicken no offense :)
She actually sounds better than Florence Jenkins Foster.
rubber chicken vibes 😂
She's really gooood
I thought it was wonderful that Meryl Streep sang live instead mouthing to a recording. You got the genuine reaction from the audience that way.
😱😳🥴😡😱🎵
Any role Meryl Streep can't play?
Yes! All those she didn't!!!
Meryl Streep is amazing 😆
Mariusz Kwicien....handsome man.
So are you 😀
yes, indeed!
