Nadine's singing is magnificent, and she's a lovely young lady. I wish her a long and successful career on the opera stage and on records! God bless you, Nadine.

Надин ты возрождаешь оперу! В тебе есть всё - красота голоса, высокое вокальное мастерство, восхитительный актёрский талант, красота внешняя!!!! Это то, чего не хватало все эти годы опере...Обожаю тебя слушать и смотреть! И какая ты искренняя и скромная...Ты не являешься мыльным пузырём, раскрученной телевидением или интернетом - ты настоящая, ты то, что мы так долго ждали!!!!!

[@guadalupepaz3098]

She is just perfection, a caress to the ear, the most beautiful voice. You can attest that specially when she sings duets.

[@riccardobanelli4940]

Beautiful coversation!! Nadine rappresenta the present qnd the future of Opera...i'm italian and i know that I'm lucky for the fact that italian language is been important for this genre. And I know that the best compositions ever made are italians,from italian composers! But honestly i think that if today I listen classic music and I see opere liriche a bit of deserve is from Nadine,she's talented and she's able to share her passion in me! Every single arias I've seen of her she's always fantastic...so thanks Nadine!! ❤

[@guangdayang205]

Nadine's Mascagni aria is particularly beautiful! I feel that she was so genuine with the text/music. The conductor and orchestra were taking it seriously, enjoying this moment

[@vitalylesindorf640]

This young lady has an incredible voice with an incredible future ahead off her. She will reach to the pinnacle of the other great singers. We heard her at the Met many times.

She's already attained that pinnacle in my book!

You post this plagiarized text everywhere.

@@BellaFirenze Respect …. Something you know nothing about. Your obnoxious and your boring.

[@legatofancier]

Nadine Sierra's voice and artistry reminds me of Mirella Freni, which is high praise.

[@danielc9483]

rusalka? i just want to hear her sing tatiana.. please!!!

[@zzp1]

First time I heard of her existence, nonetheless a very remarkable voice. Is she lyric or dramatic? I wouldn't know.

[@witeverwitever2234]

guess nadine was not levine's type:-)

[@Bailey2006a]

Teresa Stratas the best singing actress of her generation. Saw her in many productions at the Met….She was incomparable ! Still alive, I believe.

[@johndaugherty7779]

Not that I disagree, but what in the world does your comment have to do with an interview with Nadine Sierra?

[@laurencevacandare7982]

Elle est très fière de sa maitrise respiratoire, mais dans West Side Story, il est vraiment pénible de l’entendre faire ses horribles bruits de gorge entre chaque phrase. Quant à l’interviewer, il est tellement pédant qu’on se demande comment l’opéra a pu exister en son absence. Non, franchement, pas convaincant. Par contre, extraordinaire Leo Nucci, quelle classe et quelle humilité !

[@lxf9914]

16:00 such a millennial thing to say "no worries". lol Boomers, you all are going to have to love us eventually!

[@proteus6366]

Her voice swings a lot at the top. This is bad

[@BellaFirenze]

Plotkin parla moltissimo e non dice niente.

[@samueljaramillo4221]

Your obnoxious and boring. Tell it to someone who cares.
