Bao Yu is kinda older and muscle

I'm pleased to perform together with you guys in Opera Under the Stars here in Samoa, well my piano didn't do justice to my playing though. 😜😜😜😜💙👍

I knew your Dad from the hospital a very kind Nurse very patient with his patients and polite.... All the best 💙💙🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸

Where can i find the full opera video

Bravissimo Brian!

This was really disappointing. The really cheaply done visuals projected onto the screen did not add anything positive. The singing and music was great but get ready for the performers to be standing in place pretty much for the whole show while the projector tells the story in badly done animations. I think they didn't want to spend anything on their prop budget so they came up with this shoddily done show.

Nico ❤

South Africans are the most gifted singers that Ive ever come across.

i really detest Wagnerian stagings today. This is The Ring. Can we PLEASE get some damn Vikings and Nordic mythology and cut out the rehashed sets leftover from some daytime soap opera? 🤦‍♂

Please tour this to New York!!! It looks amazing!!!

She is constantly flat

Powerful!

What a fabulous talent! he plays, he sings, he's artistic, he's handsome, he has tons of charm . . .

Moving moment? The only thing that moved was my gorge rising.

I was fortunate to witness, and enjoy the Premiere at Dallas Opera. An incredible work and production! Music and voices were magnificent, and stagecraft was years ahead. Just incredible!!

Pretty singing with her old choir. the joy on her face and those great kids, very special moment. thank you for sharing. i must admit, had tears of joy watching that.

Ruxandra Donose sounded fantastic live. A great performance.

Horrible. It flattened Mozart's masterpiece into two-dimensional meaninglessness.

Really disappointed. The music was overshadowed by the visuals as impossible as that seems. I understand and enjoy (usually) new takes on classic operas/ballets but this was a bit over the top.

What a nightmare. Mozart flattened into meaninglessness.

This production was goddamned amazing.

It had to be Handel, titan of baroque opera

BRAVO Shrader!

This opera was incredibly good! ❤❤

I remember her while she was with Africa Sings in Witbank conducted by George Lolly Mohlala. She was a soloist there.

This was amazing! Very disturbing, beware, but amazing.

This was one of my all-time favorite outings with my oldest 2 kids when they were little. Please consider staging another production so that my youngest can see it!

It's great they stay in character with the hat drop.

Such an inspiration ❤ if Pretty would come to my school specifically the Music centre i swear everyone would faint😊

Seeing it this Thursday! DEFINITELY not your traditional Magic Flute, but who cares? It's Mozart, it's Magic Flute, it's Opera. What is not to love?

Very powerful voices in this school choir ....beautiful 👌

Voice of an angel. Like a balm for the soul, still pretty, Pretty. Extremely proud of her.

Silent film vibes 😂 Reminds me of Fritz Lang's Nibelungen

This GIIRL HAS GOT IT WE ARE PROUD ON YOU . JUST STAY HUMBLE .

A powerful (if unrelentingly grim!) piece of theatre. Definitely an experience I’ll remember forever.

I did not enjoy this very grim opera about the after effects of a school shooting. I left very worried about my grandchildren in this gun laden country.

fantastic symposium !

NO !!

I saw this production in Berlin. Brilliant!!!!

You are phenomenal!!

It was brilliant! So creative the way animation was superimposed over the cast. Loved every minute of it.

Some really cool moments, but be prepared that the costumes and sets aren't what you would expect from a trational performance, or you may feel let down. The animation was incredibly well-executed, and the interpretation was very original. The players had to interact with it as if it were real (Papageno's cat stole the show, but Papageno didn't even have a feather in his hat). If you're expecting Bergman, the production may come off as low-budget, amateur and underwhelming. The performance is also cut in half. The singers were also a bit quiet even from orchestra seating in the sixth row. I was excited to see an opera in German because they're expensive to produce: it kinda felt like SF did it (albiet creatively) by cutting corners. The performance booklet was full of pictures of performances and Queen of the Nights all over the world: all with stunning costumes and sets. I personally would have loved to see something like that, but the visuals really stuck with me. I really enjoyed the masonic symbolism and the Monty Python-esque animation.

Wonderful❤

I'd like to see the whole thing

15:19 such a joyful sound.

Yessir, glory to LCB

The first song i love her ending!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Loved when she sang with the students at the end. So moving, just great!

Beautiful music, beautiful woman, beautiful people. Be blessed.

Mr. Castronovo is such a superb musician and vocalist.
