[@johnfuvlogs2012]

Que hermoso

[@elrickking9293]

Brutal, wow

[@nrjohns50]

Brava! Her voice is like silk. It has to be the ultimate fun song for a woman to sing and flirt and add sensuality.

[@cozene35]

Beautiful voice of an angel

[@مريم-و6ن8ل]

[@davidandrescalderonbello4010]

Ela é muito linda

[@shabbarraza738]

I want a girlfriend who listens to such masterpieces

[@elisalara3738]

No, please don't brake the air, the line, that way.

[@rogercarmel6619]

This woman must speak French because I was able to understand every word sung.

[@avijitsadhukhan8371]

Yes indeed

[@amazing1904]

Believe it or not, she was born in Australia. She then immigrated to America to advance her opera career. She’s not French, not even European which baffles me.

[@faustinazaria5381]

No wonder soprano singers sings with pride cos we are proud of our voice n most beautifully when u can switch 😂🤪 Keep hating we care less ❣️

[@dorian07109]

No! The aria/role is to heavy for her. The chorus sounds better.

[@thequeenofthorns7449]

Sopranos have such a vast repertoire, ranging from ingénues to evil schemers and everything inbetween. AND STILL they extend to mezzo repertoire. Why? Just why? Repertoire is written for different voices for a reason. 😒

[@drc4168]

Yup, they're selfish brats. Nom nom nom.

[@bastienhamilton9811]

Probably because it's so iconic and that so many people associate it with soprano singers. Also, look at her, she's having the time of her life 😂

[@JackieLanceTenor]

I get where you're coming from and to be fair, this performance was awful, but in general I think that is a very rigid way of thinking. I feel we are way too focused on voice classification. "back in the day" the voice classification system we use now didn't even exist and everything was written for particular singers, many of which had voices and vocal ranges that would completely defy modern classification. There are still plenty of singers like this but they are forced to try and fit themselves into a mold, and I personally feel that it is detrimental to the artist.

[@maximillian6222]

​@@JackieLanceTenor so back in the days they where better voices than today?

[@JackieLanceTenor]

@@maximillian6222 that's not what I said. Just that voice classification was much more broad and they did things differently in terms of writing roles for specific singers. I don't think we could really make a judgement on singers that were pre 1900 anyway since recording was still in its infancy, with the first opera singer being recorded in 1889. Without being able to hear those great singers from the 1800s we can't say that they were better than the singers we have now just based on writings about them.

[@adrianjohnson7920]

Wow. 🔥 She burned up the stage and left the men in the audience panting.. . .💋A smouldering performance calculated to inspire adolescent boys with a passion for opera. 🤪😜😛😍🤓 But I do think she should have carried a fan to flick around.

[@sarabenassi1981]

I can already tell she is such a diva

[@ercheche8486]

Yes , just that indeed because what divas must do is to honor that title and sing brilliantly their own repertory , anyone is called Diva these days , maybe she is but just in Glyndebourne,.To be called Diva you must have a unique vocal quality. Callas , Caballe , Tebaldi , Fleeming , Netrebko , Hard workers no lazy

[@operafairy]

I hope unlike El-Khoury or Opolais mme De Niese is smart enough not to sing this piece on opera stage in full performance.

[@CeOria]

Nope, Opera Australia 2025 season. I'm horrified.

[@erikfantome6862]

El-Khowry at least can sing. This lady sounds as a pop singer, not suitable for opera.

[@ryansingingpart2-ht6pg]

Why not let real mezzos singer this instead of undeveloped soubrettes?

[@dorian07109]

No!!!! Listen to Denyce Graves sing this aria at the Richard Tucker Gala.

[@EK-gr9gd]

Singing is perfect, but the "staccato" is too soft. Once, I listened to a live performance by the ROH, Mehta conducting, in which the staccato was much more forceful. Pity, the "Habanera", by Maria Ewing, of this performance can be found on YT. But it the audio stream seems to be edited for a more softer sound.

[@will8026]

Pretty scrappy singing

[@trisblackshaw1640]

It's a scrappy opera in the coolest way possible.

[@liusan4641]

Какая пошлятина и дешевизна!

[@JuanCarlosBartolotta]

Es una cantante de opera barroca, aquí no respira como se debe

[@richardresidori732]

Ma che cazz….

[@gorod_ok]

Как это отвратительно. Начиная от звука и заканчивая образом что она преподносит. Мерзость...

[@ianjc2000]

Mutton dressed as lamb. She must have been shoe horned into that pink dress. But she sings beautifully.

[@operafairy]

how rude...

[@missinformed9550]

And you are?

[@user-de7fz3ui2g]

You sound envious and totally uncultured.

[@bradycall1889]

Rude don’t you think? Doesn’t look fat to me.

[@monikahartill1922]

@@bradycall1889 It's not her size or shape that is the problem but that badly tailored pink polyester dress. I guess she wanted to wear something Spanish-looking which the frills (kind of) attempt to evoke. However, she's not wearing a bra which would/should hold all the bits in. The dress has got a concealed bra but it does not fit properly, it cuts into her back skin and her sides and it makes the front of the dress look baggy, plus the cut in the armpit area is way too low exposing unsightly skin tags when she lifts her arms. The cameraman did not do her a favour. In any case, not a quality performance. Bizet butchered to bits.

[@miksyezpatelik]

This should not be allowed ... it is to beautiful ❤❤❤.. and to think that Muslim extremists will seek to ban this , if they ever had their way
