My grandmother asked me to learn this song and sing it for her for her 90th birthday coming up next month. I do a lot of musical theatre but am not an opera singer. This video is so incredibly helpful! Thank you!!

[@demonzblood69]

How did it go? I hope she got what she wished for.

[@PhonesOfOurLives]

Thank you, Freya for bringing back my passion for learning opera. Your name truly suits you for bringing fallen heroes to the light.

[@maristella287]

WOW That is beautiful. Hearing this video explanation did the same for me today!!

[@beisstzn3975]

You're amazing! Also the pianist is very good.

[@jmdenison]

I actually feel sorry for the pianst having to start and stop all the time he is cute tho, right?

Hey im a 19 years old Guy and loves to sing Opera. I'll try to learn this

[@frankG335]

One warning I discovered- I'm a mezzo soprano and we're not 'allowed' to modify the key when singing an aria from an operas. It's infuriating! There are arias that are simply off limits? Even outside of the opera itself? Apparently so!

[@pugh.joseph]

Of course you can change the key (even outside the opera). There's no limits to this. Where did you get your information from @@frankG335?

[@demonzblood69]

How is it going, 23-year-old guy? Are you performing in Opera now?

[@Fr33domEnglish]

@@demonzblood69Lol. Wild🤣

[@karinafuentes1661]

You are such a blessing, Freya! Although I never had any formal training in opera music or classical music, and I'm not sure if I'll ever get a chance to sing this song or any similar songs, but thank you for this video! You are so amazing! God bless you!

[@TheSeeking2know]

Amen.

[@gtmalalo]

You are more than wonderful vocal teacher ❤.. I love the pianist!! Beautiful and phenomenal explanations in there.🙏🙏🥰🥰❤

[@DatBoyGuru]

Oh my dear papa I like him, he is so handsome. I want to go to Porta Rossa To buy the ring! Yes, yes, I want to go there! And if my love were in vain, I would go to the Ponte Vecchio And throw myself in the Arno! I am pining, I am tormented! Oh God, I would want to die! Father, have pity, have pity! Father, have pity, have pity! what a great video, you are an amazing teacher

[@demonzblood69]

Thanks for the translation

[@KpxUrz5745]

This is beautiful, and educational for us non-singers to try to appreciate some of the complexities.

[@megs8752]

I admire you for mentioning the importance of pronunciation at the very first. "O Mio Babbino Caro" is my most favourite opera song but I sometimes get a little irritated when hearing non-natives sing the song with many mistakes in pronunciations especially,... rolling tongue when flat "L" needs to be pronounced, or omitting all the rolls.(I am not native speaker of Italian but I used to live in Italy and became really familiar with Italian pronunciations.) I think it is so important work on pronunciations to achieve better diction, to show respect to the language the song was written, to emphathize with the song to the maximum extent, etc.

[@PanayiotisVyras]

The river Arno flows through Florence, as well. Not only through Pisa, as it were! Actually, that's where Porta Rossa is to be found too. In Florence, that is.

[@biabeo8540]

Grazie mille Freya!! I love the dramatic colouring -- very warm and accessible direction... Stunning vox , and sweet sympathetic pianist. Bravo, tutte due 💐💐

[@aliciavirginiadipasquale4963]

Soy Argentina soprano lirica y ligera....me encanta la forma gradual y precisa de encarar esta aria maravillosa.La canto frecuentemente y en esos puntos como explicas pongo mi mayor cuidado y énfasis para transmitir lo que siento Formidable clase Felicitaciones

[@YadaiDelacruz]

Very Beautiful soprano voice you have! I had troubles with this Aria because I had a underdeveloped chest voice and I am a very light soprano. You gave a very helpful advice about the chest voice! One thing that worked for me is the "laugh" sensation (not smiling, just inner sensation) in the lowest range to avoid lowering the larynx too much and keeping the chiaroscuro .

[@ЭлизаМихайлова-х4в]

👍👍👍

[@mlinder8061]

This song is absolutely challenging, which I love It's one of my favorites. I have been asked to sing this song at someone's wedding. Which I'm so excited about, and since it' my first time singing in front of many people. I got most of Omi Babbino Caro down. Except for a couple of words. Seeing this video helped me a lot I just wanted to say thank you so much.

[@gracielabaeza8804]

Your explanation is marvelous. Than you and your wonderful pianist. I enjoy listening.😊

[@augustoortisi7931]

Musica Divina ,che ci fa tanto bene al cuore, eccellent e bravissimi il soprano ed il pianista

[@TheVespertilia]

I'm learning English each day and I know how many difficulties there are in a new language so I really appreciate your accent and the pronunciation of these Italian words (and the "r" pronunciation as well). Very good job!

[@anajhazzana9206]

More videos for helping us, amateur opera singers, to grow more in this industry. (My conductor told me to vocalize more with proper technique but I often struggle with it)

[@amyrose3190]

Have a look at the book by Oren Brown titled Discover Your Voice. You might have to order it as it could be out of print. This book is a must have for any singer. It teaches technique, how the voice functions, how to work with young voices and develop the voices of singing students. Oren Brown's Discover your voice is just incredibly full of all things related to healthy singing and a how to kickstart your singing career.

[@santaguerrero5543]

Muy bonita técnica, que bonitos agudos ligerito sin forzar la garganta, gracias

[@alaricerussell]

"Make sure there's like 20 t's in there." I'm just a fan of this song. Listening to her detailed information is amazing.

[@vittoriahawksworth8117]

It would be better to say that the Arno flows through Florence because in the aria, Lauretta mentions she wants to go to Porta Rossa to buy the ring and if Babbino does not consent she wants to jump off Ponte Vecchio - both Porta Rossa and Ponte Vecchio are in Florence.

[@douglasstation]

But classical opera is also so beautiful and I personally love it along with western music❤❤ thank you for inspring me❤❤❤❤

please do more. I am subscribed. Los of arias out there that are beautiful. I have tried exercises but they don't seem to work. I find the best way to get my voice going is just singing stuff like this. Can't figure that out, but it seems to be motivation to make something beautiful. This is a great aria because you can really make it very emotional and be very creative, like you're a teen girl, about to die if you can't marry the guy. Of course 5 years later and 3 kids they want to kill one another every day, but that's a whole other opera. wait, they don't write operas about that now, do they? ah, an entire niche open to lyricists. haha
