[@FrancescoMarelli84]

Other than a fab voice, rendition and diction, it is clear she understands Italian language, because she stresses the words, and the emotions, exactly at the right times .... something that foreign opera singers, both male and female, not always ace no matter how sublime they sing. For me personally, and as an Italian and big fanboy of Italian language, this aspect is crucial when I listen to the song.

I love the conductor’s chef’s kiss at 2.12 - he knew she had just nailed that famous diminuendo. It was phenomenal breath control.

[@adamkeener6106]

I am blown away by that last note! Her mouth is completely closed! Her teeth are open and her face is open and she’s generating a ton of sound inside her mouth. But her mouth is closed! How the hell is that even possible?

[@musicaccount797]

Her lips are open, so her mouth isn't closed, and if it were, she'd be making an M sound. Sound is generated mostly with the vocal chords, and the mouth does most of the shaping. The mouth does generation when it's voiceless sounds like S, F, H. "Voiceless" basically means, no vocal chord. But she's not saying any of that, she's saying the vowel A in pieta! Vowels are almost always voiced (as in, powered by the vocal chords). So, of course, she can close her mouth partly with her teeth, and still make an A sound. You should try talking with your teeth stuck together for a moment, just for fun! You can do it with a big smile, or a frown. It's amusing, and you can still say so many sounds. In English, only very "dental" (toothy) sounds like TH are affected. There are some people who talk like this all the time, it can be sort of posh.
