Alma singing the queen of the night at the age of 3 is about the cutest thing I have ever seen, simply watching a miracle.

[@MrDaiseymay]

I've run out of superlatives and praise--I just watch and listen in awe, with a tear of joy.

[@NoName-zn1sb]

!!!

[@robertimmanuel577]

The father seems like a really really great person

[@musicfanBRA]

Alma singing the Queen of the Night at age 3 is not to be missed ! And kudos to the mom & dad that nurtured her talent and even made a crown for her to wear singing this aria.

[@63rdwho]

Wow!!! To have even a grasp of that aria at that age is amazing. I am stunned.

[@jayseaem]

At 3yrs old and pitch perfect, how can that be, just unbelievable and beautiful.

[@donaldkasten6013]

in the "zone", and loving the music and the role, could be why she got the gift of perfect pitch!, could be?

Alma is now 17 and has composed three operas (the latest one is called The Emperor's New Waltz and is getting its debut in Austria in March 2023. There's also the lovely piano concerto, the violin concerto, chamber music pieces, short piano pieces, songs etc. What is a shame is that we won't probably get to see her performing other composers' works, something she was doing plenty of when she was younger. I guess there are only so many hours in a day, and composing takes time, but Alma is also a fine pianist and violinist. The family moved to Vienna from England in 2018 and Alma is now studying conducting there too. Alma's younger sister is also a gifted violinist and singer who has performed in Alma's opera Cinderella. A talent like Alma only comes along once a century.

[@yogajedi3337]

Alma younger sister got inspired by Amira Willighagen when they met several occasions and started singing herself.

[@masaasa9552]

Just purchased The Mozart Project on AppleBook. There are two videos of Alma: one is the extended version of this video and the other, Alma playing her Piano Sonata in E-Flat Major. Brilliant.

[@karenmichele5158]

She not only redefines genius, but she is also lovely, warm, polite and utterly wonderful.

[@olisfer1]

alma you are a truly gifted young lady. it's a joy to catch you play bringing the music you play to life. the bee springs to mind if I close m eyes I can feel the warm breeze of a summers day and see the bee fling from flower to flower.

[@erpollock]

If you are born to be musical, it will manifest itself early. If only I had heard opera at 3 years old. But we had the King & I when I was 4 and I listened constantly and learned Mrs Anna's soliloquy when I was 4. I started singing at 9 months. But we did not have opera in the home til I was 9. Then my father brought home Rigoletto, and I loved it and sang Caro Nome without the words because I didn't know how to pronounce Italian. Alma is gifted in many ways, not least in having a musical environment.

[@robertbrowne4049]

Great father and mother.

[@vianditya]

She is really something!

[@dennislaux]

I see God in this young beauty. I just don 't see how this much talent can simply come by accident.

[@louisegogel7973]

Beautiful voice and passion from such a tiny age. Thank you Alma for sharing such joy with humanity!

[@OldCanadianguy953]

The best thing for Alma to do now is to set up a music school where she can select teachers and enroll other gifted students.

[@eytonshalom]

and btw, that Strauss harmony, the very tender hearted Kurosawa Akira uses in one of his films, a later one, unless its just a Japanese lullaby that has the la-fa-la phrase repeated over and over...

[@reptarhouse]

Is her father the linguists Guy Deutscher? jeez...

[@Alexagrigorieff]

The kid out-famed the father?

[@Curlytop1955]

Move over Florence Foster Jenkins - even at three years old, this little beauty could sing the Queen of the Night better than you ever could.

[@nadinemclean8427]

Who is hiding behind the piano at 2:15? That's Alma, of course!

[@MrDaiseymay]

whoever it is, her hair seems too dark to be ALMA. One puzzle has been increased though. Seeing that ''Piano'', face on, with the Star like patterning, I previously thought it to be a Mitsubishi , as that is their emblem, BUT the word 'ROLAND' can be clearly seen. Alma has played this in Harpsichord , and Celeste mode, and of course Piano.

[@lottepetterson8413]

wrong, it is her dad

[@laurahelenaxou1834]

Hehehehehhh nope, it's her mommy, Mama Deutscher 😊😊😊

[@Libercapitum]

[@slzhang131]

👍

[@americansoldier7776]

If you didn’t believe in reincarnation before, how about now? Amazing!

[@RareCandeh]

What song is she playing at the end?

[@marionholzl4984]

sonata in c, k. 545 andante by mozart :)

[@3dbadboy1]

Thought it was Clementi... My bad

[@paultownsend6919]

Who is that hiding behind the piano at 2:15?

[@johnmartin2813]

Her mother I suspect.

[@donaldkasten6013]

Pros seem to make the singer somewhat malevolent, at three, her song is sweet!

[@icxcnika7358]

I was eating paper when I was 7

[@veroniquejubeau-blanc1420]

IL MANQUE UN SOUS TITRAGE

[@miho7402]

....da war sie grade ein paar Tage windelfrei.....

[@eytonshalom]

every time i watch this i both burst out laughing at her precocity and seriousness when, at the begin, she crinkles her brow and says, "for me, it really about the harmony..." and then in an Almaism, repeats her point a second time, (see her interview in Israel when she says, about the melodies, "i hear them in my head...in my head." but with an exposition, "i'm really attracted by the beauty of the harmony..." and then, ever the loveliest of pedagogue, launches into an example on the keyboard. I must have watched this a dozen times, as if she were my own child. like so many of us, its a vicarious experience of the wonder of a wonderful child.

[@akanecortich8197]

she has such an optimistic energetic personality. She may be cute and nice, but she is a steamroller as well - just watch her take control of an orchestra during rehersal.

[@MrDaiseymay]

and they love her for it, because she gives professional advice, and being the composer, she has a fresh approach, with new ideas.

[@eytonshalom]

on top of being a natural performer, she is a natural teacher. i love those serious and pedantic (in the best sense of that terms) looks she has in this video and in the Intermezzo interview w/Arik..

[@brucecarney4416]

Her talent brought me to my knees. Her persona brought me tears of joy! Kudos to dad who loves her and realizes she learns faster than he can teach. BLESS the whole family.

[@prypiat27]

Hahahah! so cute. Man I can't wait to see this girl's music live. What a gift. Seriously, we are so lucky. I always wondered why this kind of music just stayed in the past and modern composers have a completely different more modern sound to it. A sound I mostly dread. I love this girl's music, and I'm eager.

[@BlackHermit]

Alma singing the queen of the night at the age of 3 is about the cutest thing I have ever seen, simply watching a miracle.

[@Alexagrigorieff]

Do you always copy comments from 2 years back?

[@jimfowler5930]

Wonderful! I would pay money to see/hear Alma perform. Mozart would be very proud IMHO! Alma, you are a special gift from God-what talent!!

[@alisonlekarev2183]

Mozart would be jealous!

[@adammichna5175]

Mozart would be a little envious.

[@fghelmke]

Proof that musical indpiration is a divine gift, connecting this world with the heavens.

[@albertomonticelli3363]

Non lo avevo ancora visto . . una follia di grandezza.
