Someone at the Academy of Music- needs to address the lack of adequate stage lighting on this amazing soloist. (there are classes for Lighting different skin tones. - Take one.) May be vocally stunning but such a shame the audience can't see her fully, to see her interpretation as well as hear it. What a gifted artist.

[@JHJHJHJHJH]

The lghting wasn't right at this point but possibly the mood of the song. I;'m not sure. Maybe they took a class mid-concert. Check out Un Bel Di. If you try really hard, you can shoehorn race into everything... kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmmWk2ZviMl5lZY

@@JHJHJHJHJH can we shoehorn it into how small your brain is?

[@TheVaughan5]

OMG - there exists a GENUINE lirco-spinto soprano in the World today! Why isn't she better known? Absolutely blows the likes of Anna Netrebko into the weeds

[@jbtherealist]

I won a grammy this year.

[@jbtherealist]

Oops, she won a grammy this year.

[@ssr6036]

Jesus Christ, get your hearing checked. Lirico-spinto??? This is musical theater singing at best. She is not an opera singer.

[@LaDivinaLover]

@@ssr6036 lmfao TRY AGAIN. Get your fuckin hearing checked. Because clearly you don’t know how voices work and can’t recognize fach 🤡

[@emmanueln8415]

@@ssr6036 Sounds like you have no idea what opera music is. You can't feature in an opera at the Met, unless you're a professional opera singer. She started there in Aida (2016). So once again, I say that you don't know anything about opera.

[@patrickhueyatthepodium229]

The voice is spectacular!

[@rudyvanderhoeven9628]

My god, where has she been all my life, what a voice

[@peterpodol9206]

I can’t understand why she has not been singing more at the Met since her sensational debut in the broadcast of Aida replacing Urbana at the last minute.I finally was set to hear her live at the Met this season in Aida when Covid intervened. I hope both Covid and the Met allow me to hear her sooner rather than later. She is wonderful!

[@Christian-f7h]

This is amazing. Thank you so much.

[@mannakjones]

When I saw that this was Latonia Moore singing this, I HAD to listen. This is like, painfully beautiful...BRAVA!!!!

[@cesarherrera2744]

Beautiful voice! And one of the best versions I’ve heard of this aria!

[@gimmeachallenge]

Actually, I think her approach to this entire aria--low notes and all-- is wonderfully stunning. And, as long as we're basking in the liberties that the comments section affords us, then let me have my moment in the light to say that I could frankly care how much or how little you are paid for what you do; your comments demonstrate very little ear for beautiful singing (further supported by your rushing to gloat about the likes of Fleming). Brava, Latonia!

[@elizabethriggs3406]

Amen!

[@danafripp4120]

Yeah. This is archival, pull it out years from now, and let future operatic hopefuls know this is how it's done levels of FABULOUS.

[@josecostavdm]

Bravo 👏👏👏

[@donovanwilliamsroker4734]

Sing Daughter of Judah!!! This brought me to tears.

[@Cristobels-Green-Boots]

A ravishing performance -- she sounds mature & girlish at the same time, & such composure -- I've loved the Callas recording since ever.......here is someone with a totally different voice, but still able to express the emotion & sensuality of this very difficult aria -- I loved it, & would hope to discover more.....🙏🏼🌹🙏🏽

[@buglet58]

Best version I’ve ever heard 😍

[@nedgeyser3038]

She just performed Cio Cio San in San Diego (April 2016). I went THREE times because I simply couldn't get enough of her beautiful voice. She possesses one of the finest voices in opera today, imho. Brava, Diva!

[@preacher1965]

Not only one of the finest, her heart is in the song as she brings its emotional feeling to life. Gotta love an artist who makes one feel their work.

[@dalilalopez9197]

Hermosoooo

[@CristianGomez-js4mc]

Imagine being able to do that?! Real-life superhero.

[@TheNadinekoutcher]

BRAVISSIMA!!!!!! There are so many great singers which aren't known!

[@jquiroga7820]

She really is an incredible performer. The color is uniform throughout the register. She uses drama elegantly and intelligently. And she finishes the aria as the great performers of the past historically did (and as always should be done) using chest voice. Brava!

[@Abigayl1950]

She’s thousands times better then many other Sopranos : amazing , she sings the VERISMO in the right Italian way , better then Italians !! Congratulation !!!!!!!

[@TheVaughan5]

There doesn't exist today a genuine Italian lirico-spinto soprano. However Latonia Moore is the real thing!

[@pega17pl]

She has "Ausdruck" in her voice which is much better to this aria than Callas wth her metallic sharpness. - Greetings, Heinz

[@ssr6036]

@@pega17pl mentalic sharpness?? Oh you mean like a real opera singer? Maria Callas's version is probably one of the most beautiful things to ever be recorded. This is not opera singing, it's musical theater and she has the wrong voice for the role.

[@phoebusapollo4677]

Heavenly voice! Reminds me of the greatest!

[@operaclassicc]

I had the pleasure to hear Latonia in Hamburg singing Amelia ,and Aida , and she was SUPERB . Her voice is very smooth and tender enpowerd by her technique .

[@EDWRFle]

Now if Maria Callas was alive she would have loved that performance. Brava Mrs. Moore.

[@Archsorceror]

Wow! 😍 That ending was just incendiary! 😃 What a stunning voice- I pray that she looks after it carefully.

I wish she could loose some weight. Such a great voice!!!

[@donaldlevine1420]

Gorgeous. There is no other word! Why, why is she not singing these roles at the Metropolitan?

[@francobarzelatto6599]

Because the MET has the worst taste and prefer ugly singing like Netrebko or Flórez.

[@ccrm90210]

@@francobarzelatto6599 Netrebko is better 😆 Juan Diego is better than your color’s favorites.

Good HEAVENS, another LEONTYNE PRICE! I now have a divine breakfast, lunch and dinner. A zillion thanks to the good forces of the galaxy! I am so glad that I clicked on the Latonia Moore!

[@silvanero]

I think Latonia’s voice is lovely but it is NO Leontyne!! Leontyne is in a REALM all to herself!!

[@liedersanger1]

It’s insulting to both to focus on her blackness and compare her to Leontyne (who hated that kind of thing).

[@jamesmorrison2055]

So, you're comparing her to Price just because she's black? How shallow and insulting. They're nothing alike.

[@marshamarshamarsha9051]

Brava Latonia! You've been a star since I first heard you sing Depuis le Jour at age 16. Ride the wave!

[@constantindinescu9352]

Gigantissch, Latonia

[@infrantasi]

Beautiful chest notes, full of drama and emotion, the voice is so captivating. It will be fascinating to watch her climb the ladder of heroines, and if she can't do it-nobody can. Thank God, all my friends in my opera group were mourning the loss of "great sopranos". Oops-mabad!

I want to add Miss MOORE has a WONDERFULL CHEST VOICE !!! It is strange that many people are not able to recognize it : it’s their problem, nor mine !! Latonia MOORE sings in the PERFECT ITALIAN WAY the VERISMO : I can say it because it is my mother tongue and she sings better then Italians !!!

[@cashelnd]

Oh my god . . . Astonishing.

La mamma morta m'hanno Alla porta della stanza mia Moriva e mi salvava Poi a notte alta Io con Bersi errava Quando ad un tratto Un livido bagliore guizza E rischiara innanzi a' passi miei La cupa via Guardo Bruciava il loco di mia culla Così fui sola E intorno il nulla Fame e miseria Il bisogno, il periglio Caddi malata E Bersi, buona e pura Di sua bellezza ha fatto un mercato Un contratto per me Porto sventura a chi bene mi vuole Fu in quel dolore Che a me venne l'amor Voce piena d'armonia e dice: "Vivi ancora Io son la vita Ne' miei occhi e il tuo cielo Tu non sei sola Le lacrime tue io le raccolgo Io sto sul mio cammino e ti sorreggo Sorridi e spera! Io son l'amore! Tutto intorno è sangue e fango Io son divino! Io son l'oblio! Io sono il dio che sovra il mondo Scendo da l'empireo, fa della terra Un ciel! Ah! Io son l'amore, io son l'amor, l'amor"
