Handel - 'Where shall I fly?' from Hercules (Stephanie Wake-Edwards; The Royal Opera)

[@lalagonegaga]

Saw her at Glyndebourne the other day (as Ino in Handel's Semele). This stuff here is great but try to me imagine that, in person, she sounds five times better. What a magnificent voice.

[@kagitsune]

Oh my goodness, what a dark and powerful voice! Well done young artists programme! Can't wait to see her in more!

[@berry3024]

When quarantine finally ends and you can go outside freely, but then you see that there's a man tackling a snake at the end of the road and a person's head on fire-

[@milesmartin4958]

There's a clip of her doing a masterclass with Joyce DiDonato on this piece a year before this and you can hear how far she's come with it since then! Divine (I actually she does it better than DiDonato... more musical and less crazy haha)

[@javierazepeda9612]

Yes! I’m trying to find that video to watch it again and i can’t 😢

[@zralokvemigraci]

@@javierazepeda9612the video title is How to sing opera with Joyce DiDonato

[@zralokvemigraci]

@@javierazepeda9612She’s the second singer from three there :)

[@littlemarie7288]

No one : Subtitles : [music] Also subtitles : no need to thank me

[@anima1853]

maybe i’m being impious, but how are the kathleen ferrier/clara butt comparisons not incoming yet? she somehow manages to produce that unmistakeable combination of clarity and depth, in the lower register especially, which was typical of recordings from the first half of the 20th century, but seems to have more or less gone extinct in the modern day. with her and emily d’angelo we might be hearing the resurrection of the classic mezzo/contralto sound: their voices honestly give the impression of having time travelled to the present from an earlier age.

[@Musica-xo3uv]

Only Händel created this kind of dramatic recitatives during his time. Nobody beats him. It is a recitative "accompaniato", not an aria.

[@john005_]

Oh a Handel opera

[@morrighanbond]

Oratorio

[@ElizaBenn]

Hercules was originally an oratorio but has also been staged as an opera

[@morrighanbond]

Nice classical mezzo. Fantastic recit (this is not an aria. But all these people have nothing to do with baroque music.

[@freedomsky280]

😆hmm.. I think you shall to the bank
