AVA 75th Latonia Moore - Un bel di

[@ian.marais1202]

Good heavens she is absolutely sublime. What a beautiful voice. Such perfect diction. I am in tears. I wish for her a fabulous and great career on the operatic stage and all the big opera houses. With that fantastic voice she deserves nothing but the best. BRAVA!!!!!❤❤❤

[@sockmonkeyarts5241]

Let me get this straight... Lovely voice, capable of soft lyrical tones, can be heard above orchestra at loudest point... With clear open vowels, nice chest voice, and stunning high notes. All without nasality. Why is this woman not headlining all the main opera houses? Also, the Burgundy is a fantastic color choice!

[@garyguyton7373]

Her wiki seems to show she's doing pretty well as of 2021. Opera in general isn't faring well due to the, IMHO, too extreme restrictions imposed by the government on public events, such as live opera.

[@joefairweatherblues8511]

Burgundy, with gold embroidery,hard to beat,✌️

[@TheVaughan5]

Maybe because opera is so trashed the quality of the singing is of no importance. It’s all about some jumped up producer’s “concept” that’s promoted not artistry of the highest standard that we are hearing here with the incredible Latonia Moore.

[@JuanLpianist]

She is headlining. Thankfully

[@tomtalker2000]

As a singer myself i can answer that question very easily. How many black women do you see in main stream aria's from various opera's...? I'd be willing too bet not many. Yeah it's a damn, damn, shame. Because she deserves EVERY bit of what her white counterparts are getting.

[@roosterrooter13]

The best and most friendly soprano I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. She’s a goddess.

[@socratespardilla6462]

Oh God almighty. How could I've missed this talented soprano God bless her

[@rejauntreasure8061]

My goodness she sings this aria the best

[@charlesbeloved7951]

My goodness she’s such a stunning singer!!! Those soaring high notes and that fresh brightness so so beautiful

[@dougronald561]

She's singing Madame Butterfly this season in Dallas. I like how her voice is smooth and supported without a harsh edge.

[@nancysarno1555]

Oh my goodness! What magnificence! Couldn't fault that performance. I'm so glad she's from this era. There's so much to look forward to!

[@infrantasi]

Flawless singing, already an accomplished singer. God give this beautiful girl everything she needs! I hear whispers of Leontyne everywhere. Such careful, truthful singing like Latonia's is truly a rare, rare thing. BRAVA!

[@Natasha-oz6ik]

infrantasi so true

[@nancysikes]

Nothing like Leontyne Price. Beautiful in her own way. A kind of shimmering, lyrical clarity.

[@vincec8218]

Kasondra Kazanjian kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZLFh6ONq7SGpbs

[@charlesrhodes1358]

I’m sure many people are tired of every Black soprano being referred to in some way with Leontyne Price. They are nothing alike, other than being sopranos.

[@Greg07623]

How lovely, and she is singing with her own voice. A young artist who sound is youthful and very Importantly original.....freshest sound I've heard in a long time.

[@vincec8218]

Kasondra Kazanjian kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZLFh6ONq7SGpbs

[@ssr6036]

Lol who elses voice would she be singing with? In any case, this is not an opera singer. This is a musical theater singer.

[@little-963]

​@@ssr6036why you say that??

[@leonardogiacobbe5422]

Meravigliosa.Sublime!!Una interpretazione indimenticabile,da brivido.Senz'altro una delle più grandi Butterfly di sempre.Come mai non è diventata una star assoluta in tutti i grandi teatri d'opera?

[@carloamagliani0944]

Credo anche io

[@johannesaid244]

It's the first time I'm hearing her, I'm in total awe. My goodness, where was she hiding!?!

You can actually understand the lyrics! 👏🏼

[@SoLNaTaL555]

Wow!!! The fact that she was able to control her sound consistently with a more infantile quality for this character is already a big accomplishment... LOTS OF BLESSINGS my beautiful Queen!!! Keep the hard work and please don't overwork to your wonderful instrument and keep true to your instrument with freedom.

[@corneliusbates460]

She is amazing! Aria slayed

[@ransomcoates546]

She has listened to Tebaldi’s recordings, and Renata would be very happy with what she took away, chiefly the idiomatic use of portamento, all but unknown among today’s singers of Italian opera. I’m surprised her teacher allowed it.

[@vincec8218]

I saw her in Aida at San Diego Opera this past April. Wonderful singer. A beautiful voice with an instantly recognizable sound. She could be heard clearly in the big ensembles.

[@fernhill36]

I was at the Met a few yrs. back when she made her unscheduled debut as Aida for an indisposed Violetta Urmana. What I heard was as great an Aida as I've ever seen and that includes Price, Arroyo and Tebaldi.Hope to see her Butterfly in March.

Letonia has a beautiful voice l love this piece I was lucky enough to see her live in Aida she was outstanding

[@mikaelb7735]

SUPERB!!!!!

[@mugrad25]

Vocally stunning....but she also conveys butterflys innocence, naivite, and dramatics

[@Dadacomero]

WOW An actual today's voice! Brava! The mezza voce in the beginning was priceless. Brava!

[@carloamagliani0944]

Brava... Delicata.. Gentile... Bella voce... OK..!!!

[@16toulousse]

Have to comment again...mind blowing

[@vontressmitchell]

More of a Puccini voice. Sparkling with dramatic overtones.

[@parisballetcom]

Sublime

[@nedgeyser3038]

She just finished a run as Cio Cio San with the San Diego Opera (April 2016). She was absolutely astounding. Her voice has gained even more color, and a deliciously plangent quality, in the years since this video was recorded. Such a unique, immediately identifiable voice is truly rare these days.

[@joetursi9573]

Are you aware o the greatess of what you heard? She's among the very best of today's sopranos and needs a new manager.

She is wonderful, I am so glad she is going to be back at the Met next season, I'll certainly pick the performance with her to go too. Fantastic.

[@deniznejatizar8716]

The best Butterfly i have ever heard. Incredible sense of breath and my god those pianissimi... Can’t wait to hear her Serena at the Met this fall!

[@carmeloserafin5101]

Era da lungo tempo non si ascoltava un timbro così ...Luminoso....e un dominio dei fiati di grande scuola con una dizione Italiana di tutto rispetto....cosa che mette le cantanti moderne in un agone culturale; dove queste professioniste approfondiscono... .il Senso di quello che dicono dando Pathos al personaggio e al Melos che le accompagna. Difetto che molte grandi del secolo scorso a volte affrontava no sul ghiaccio di una pronuncia...a volte rischiosa..sopratutto nei reictativi....ma questo per ogni Idioma credo ci voglia la giusta conoscenza fonetica...e oggi i mezzi a disposizione sono veramenti...tanti.Una bella sorpresa...speriamo vista la giovinezza ....faccia scelte oculate, e lungimirante...prenda ad esempio le sue colleghe di colore che hanno avuto carriere luminose e lunghissime.Levandosi a livello artistico vittorie a volte ...incredibili e storiche.

I thought Marian Anderson was the best black opera singer at singing Un Bel Di. Move over Marian, you've been beaten!

[@Christian-f7h]

Opera is not about beating other singers. This singer is amazing regardless of ethnicity, it is about music not " race."

L’effetto asmatico alla fine di quasi ogni frase lo trovo un po’ fastidioso… L’orchestra pesante … il vecchio
