Diana Damrau Je Veux Vivre (Roméo et Juliette, Gounod)

[@haniasn2365]

As a French person who didn't know the lyrics of this aria, I can say it's really easy to follow what she's saying even though she's not a native speaker and sings at the same time. Really impressive.

[@MadMusician]

I can't tell you how much I agree with you. Her diction is...FLAWLESS.

[@theresejohansen1675]

Diana is amazing! check out her queen of the night..

[@FoxTrotteur]

@@theresejohansen1675 Diana is the best soprano of its time! She will be remembered for her perfect queen of the night but every piece she sings is magnificent! She is one of the few to have mastered the art of singing to such a level! That's sad she is less active nowadays though...

[@anniefano7]

She's German FYI.

[@BenjaminCherkassky]

I don't even speak French as a native language, and I understood more than half of what she was singing. Considering on a good day I get at only ~10% of French opera without subtitles, that's impressive.

[@S.M.Jean-Mahmoud_Ier]

Not only did she sung it like she spoke french natively, she also sung it like she truly felt what she said, which makes it even more impressive...

[@Nerdpainter]

impressive as hell. she's incredible.

[@CatherineZhang-kq2cm]

Agree✨…

[@LittleLotteWanders]

Not only is she a brilliant singer, but a fantastic actress as well! She actually pays attention to the libretto and truly performs. I've never been a fan of this aria, but Diana can make anything sound good!

[@sonospiacente1405]

good morning

[@aidanvinum]

LittleLotteWanders Agreed, such charisma!

[@МаринаКамбарова-х6в]

Певица с своим особым подходом и индивидуальностью

[@Reinaldo146]

Oh my, how can you not be a fun of this aria, such beautiful melody and so much room to act it, hmmm

[@petu03]

Absolutely!

[@seoulfulmatt6155]

펜트하우스에 주석경이 부른거다!! Ju Seok Kyung sang this in Penthouse!!

[@emh3389]

I’ve listened to so many people singing this aria now and this is still my favorite! She seems so genuine and free and it’s wonderful to listen to and watch!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@FourNationsEnsemble]

She sings EVERYTHING with insight and honesty. Even music I don't love, like this silly aria, comes off as a moment spent in the heart of a heroine. She is the best. The BEST!

[@Laviesurladentelle]

She makes me feel everything that she sings, even music i don't like just like you. She is superb! ♥

[@suzannederringer1607]

When I was a silly young soprano - meaning, I over- intellectualized everything and did not actually SING - I, like some of the others commenting here, thought this was a 'silly aria.' OK fast.forward four or five decades, and I have just been looking again at the music I learned in my youth. Now, this doesn't seem silly at all. It ain't Shakespeare, any more than John Cranko's ballet ROMEO AND JULIET is Shakespeare. But listen to the words! This is a damn fine little poem, a young girl's delight in her own youth and her awareness that it will end all too quickly with an arranged marriage. The music is fresh and delightful, very much of its period. It's an infectious entrance aria, beautifully presents the character of the young girl..And Damrau gives us all of this - with style and grace!

[@22552561]

the emotions in her face ... wow ... I am speechless

[@sallymj8957]

Diana is a pleasure to watch - a great actress as well as a phenomenal coloratura. Right before this video, I saw her sing "Exsultate Jubilate" - magnificent. And you must see her performance of the Queen of the Night aria (#2) from The Magic Flute. Her voice is just that always….magic.

[@deletedaccount1990]

Damn I love opera so much. Especially female voices. When they reach high pitches, I feel goosebumps all over my body. Such powerful talent enough to touch the soul.

[@vojtechcermak6801]

Finally someone!😂 I'm glad i'm not alone with this kind of taste

[@EmeraldSky33]

What? I heard an interview with her, and she's the most soft-spoken, sweet person ever. Not at all diva! She's just a great dramatic actress.

[@koya1019]

Amazing 12 years old

[@lioneloddo]

Diana Damrau a cette incroyable intelligence d'avoir compris qu'il fallait qu'elle se rapetisse pour atteindre l'universel. Elle n'est plus Diana Damrau sur scène, elle devient un moyen de transmission du divin sur Terre. Elle est au service de l’œuvre, et non l'inverse.

[@MadMusician]

Seul si loin c'erait vrai. Elle est parfaite en genérale avec les methodes vocale, mais elle est pas mieux que tout le monde.

[@MadMusician]

Aussi, ma langue native est Anglais. Bonjour, et j'espére mon français est bon.

[@lioneloddo]

@@MadMusician [Si seulement, cela pouvait refléter la vérité. Elle est irréprochable sur sa technique vocale, mais elle ne se distingue en aucune manière des autres interprètes.] Ce que vous écrivez est tout à fait compréhensible, bien qu'assez mal formulé pour un français... ;)

[@ThatgirlAudie]

She never ceases to amaze me!! Diana, what a beautiful talent you have!!

[@sylviamaisonet8271]

Wow! Perfect diction wow wow the pronunciation is unbelievable

[@MadMusician]

Yeah, definitely the first good thing I notice as well.

[@半中国人兄弟]

Because she was french?

Wir Moskauer waren gestern abend zu viert im moskauer Kinohaus bei der direkten Met-Translation von Romeo und Julia! Die Vostellung selbst wie auch Diana und Vittorio ist Spitze!! Großartig und empfehlenswürdig!! Bravoooo!! Класс!!! :))

[@fluffydalek2948]

Ah! Je veux vivre Dans ce rêve qui m'enivre; Ce jour encore, Douce flamme, Je te garde dans mon âme Comme un trésor! Cette ivresse De jeunesse Ne dure, hélas! qu'un jour! Puis vient l'heure Où l'on pleure, Le cœur cède à l'amour, Et le bonheur fuit sans retour. Je veux vivre, etc Loin de l'hiver morose Laisse-moi sommeiller Et respirer la rose Avant de l'effeuiller. Ah! Douce flamme, Reste dans mon âme Comme un doux trésor Longtemps encore!

[@KenyonCT]

This singing is amazing - and a STUNNING dress compliments it beautifully.

[@vladimirkorneevofficial]

The BEST in the world! Perfect acting, singing and feeling!

[@explorer5634]

Best interpretation that I have ever listen to.

[@VELEZ212]

One of the few singer alive who can bring beauty and style to the same old aria. I wish for more singers like her. If we had good sets and artistic directors in the Opera houses ill be in heave.

[@mireilleassena]

ici, Diana a réussi là où beaucoup ont échoué. elle a pu recréer les émotions d'une jeune adolescente amoureuse dans son iterprétation alors que d'autres, à l'instar de Flemming ou même de Dessay, misaient sur la technique. Cette interprétation est très réaliste à mon goût. Bravo, Damrau! J''espère que je pourrai un jour atteindre cette qualité d'interprétation!

[@pepette1642]

Magnifique prestation et bravo pour votre français impeccable 👏🏻

[@neveratime]

@pepette1642 Thanks for you comment. 🙏

[@yonatanmoritz]

The difference between this performance and the AGT one is palpable.

[@SP-we1qk]

Kudos to the little girl for attempting this at a young age but at the same time, it made me wonder whether they gave her the buzzer because she was young and sung something which they were just fascinated by and not with regards to how she sung it

[@cjsmith1402]

I feel like with lots of training and practice that little girl could get to Diana Damrau level of talent. She was truly born with a gift!

[@yas7175]

Well what did u expect from a little girl like her ?

[@JackieLanceTenor]

The adults that let kids do things like this and then send them out to a talent show should be ashamed for themselves. Not just because children have no business singing repertoire like this but I hate seeing those kids being taken advantage of for money and notoriety. Talk about living vicariously through your children.

[@yuukarijkpop]

She smiles with her eyes.. lovely!!! 😍😍😍

[@芦乃]

この人は歌手でも演技者でもなく、楽曲やそれらが織りなすドラマの主旋律や主題そのものに成れる人なのでしょうね。

I just love her

[@analeigh5908]

Oh my god that was awesome!

[@IndigoBone]

I've really been studying sopranos lately and, for all the fuss over Callas, I have to ay that I just don;t care for her voice, the quality of the voice itself. It is not an insult to her performance, her interpretation, her agility, or anything like that. But it is just too thin and brittle for my tastes. But maybe I just love big, fat, rich sounds, like this one! Although I do really adore Natalie Dessay, I just can't get over the fact that, for my tastes, Damrau is really tops. There is just something about the way she inhabits each character, the joy you can see and feel in her performances, or the anguish of the character in tragic circumstances.We all have our own tastes, but for me, I still prefer Damrau's performances. And no matter what anyone says, I love her acting! She is so committed to her roles. Fantastique!

[@marr6920]

Maria Callas has what I would call an "ugly" timbre. She had a very heavy voice and dark voice color. I understand people who don't really like her, I get it. But her voice was far from thin. It is richer, bigger, and fuller than most opera sopranos, and yes I am including all voice fach.

[@Normlaure0]

I have to agree, technicaly Callas can rarely be faulted, but I too find her too cold for my ears. Matter of taste I think.

[@reikun86]

I always liked Lucia Popp’s voice.

[@glgree1]

Wow... with your perception, I would say.... you need to keep "studying sopranos!"

[@daviddreebin2979]

A truly amazing performance of this wonderful song. It brought something extra, and it had power, femininity, grace and legato lyricism, as well as of course wonderful high notes. Brought the language (in this case, French) to life. Bravo, Diana!

[@BubblesNKM]

Probably one of the most emotional and well interpreted performances I've ever seen:] Brava!

[@МаринаКамбарова-х6в]

[@patrick6110]

Damrau is a star of extraordinary talent. Sadly, I cannot think of a French singer who can match her at this time. Dessay is semi retired, Petibon does not have what it takes. Jaroussky is a countertenor. Sabine perhaps someday ?
