I don’t care what anyone says: there is NO ONE out there with this quality of voice. If you are not singing EVERYWHERE, this is a crime, and opera is truly dead. Brava!!

[@ewapnino]

Thank you very much!

[@tecnicadelcantolirico6431]

Un miracolo!!! Voce unica e tecnica superba!Merita di essere già accostata ai grandi soprani della storia dell’opera!!!

[@SteveL2012]

Phenomenal. I think this is the most beautiful Turandot I’ve ever heard. And I never thought Nilsson could be displaced (or even approached). The voice is powerful but beautiful. ❤❤❤

[@matthiasbade6290]

Your Turandot yesterday on stage in the Deutsche Oper Berlin was beyond perfection. Congratulations! The best Turandot in the world!

[@ewapnino]

Thank you 🍀

[@ian.marais1202]

My word she is wonderful. Beautiful voice. Rock solid technique. The world has been waiting with anticipation for a dramatic voice like this for a long time. Eva you are wonderful. This is how "In Questa reggia" should be sung. I think the world's opera houses are going to fight over her services. Bravaaaaa.

[@diegoreviati5166]

Worth to mention that her diction is really good, and that she did not resort.to any gesture of hands or facial muscles... Complete focus on the singing, no distraction. Brava to her!

@@vincec8218 there are a lot of tremendous voices today, I meant about the technique which is quite different in Ewa Plonka. It's not just about the voice.

Many times better than many modern sopranos like Lise Davidsen. But why have they got such enormous promotion and such good singers as Mme Plonka have not? Such a shamne! Good luck, dear Ewa! Wish you world acclaime which you deserve.

Dear Ewa, I heard this aria many times live and on recordings as well. After the great singers of the past I never thought I'll hear a voice of such caliber again. Good technique and a beautiful voice! Brava!!!! Make sure you keep your voice healthy! Never force it. I wish you the very best!!!! :-)

An absolutely stunning performance which I luckily happened upon by chance in searching for this aria. Beautiful piano playing every turning point in the aria with delicate clairty, and that exquisite voice, sounding almost more lonely and intense in this minimalist setting. Thank you.

That's great. I hope she continues to SING this music when she sings with an orchestra, rather than scream it, as most singers do. And it's so refreshing to see a singer who doesn't look like she's chewing gun when she sustains a note. Her jaw and tongue are steady and relaxed, and the tone is brilliant and rich.

[@szabaripeti98]

I literally stander next to her many times in 2021 in Austria. (I was a stage extra) she was unbeliaveble. I never heard somebody so good live... She never lost her voice, she never had any issues singing the whole role, she was flawless...

[@szabaripeti98]

And she was "only" 2nd cast but she was way better then the other 2 combined...

Can we have this lady singing at the MET, please? Amazing control. Still in awe. And such power!. Just needs more passion, noted she was a little tense, perhaps? Probably the best modern opera singer. She has quite the majestic voice.

[@nw6070]

Love the reserved and calm yet powerful delivery, and clarity. however that most equisite transition in the score from 0:50 to 0:57 would benifit from more dynamic subltly. It should sound like an eagle ascending with measured majestic strokes and then breaking unexpectedly through the clouds into a lofty glide. I hate to compare but singers like Radvanovksy and especiallh Callas does a good job of transitioning into that top note with such subtle shift in colour and slight diminished volume creating an etherial suspended feeling. Also at 1.50 onwards a slight increase and disturbance of tempo would give it the sense of urgency needed and prevent it from sounding like a march as with this rigid tempo. Beautiful voice though

[@fernandopinheirobb]

PRINCESA LOU-LING In questa reggia, da ópera Turandot, o grito Desesperador soou, de longe, e veio passar Por gerações e ancorou na mulher, em atrito, A princesa, que rei dos tártaros veio devassar. Engramas passados são forças e recrudescem Em situações que delineiam algo a se beneficiar, A pessoa carrega os pensamentos que crescem Na dificuldade que a faz sucumbir ou se elevar. As amarras do passado retendo-a em remessa À reflexão meditativa que lhe dê luz no andar. Somente o nosso ser profundo pode ter essa Visão da realidade, o que temos são indícios Que podem nos conduzir à decisão para amar Que nos dê o horizonte límpido, sem os vícios. (*) (*) FERNANDO PINHEIRO, presidente da Academia de Letras dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil. - PRINCESA LOU-LING (poesia), de Fernando Pinheiro. - in O mundo de Morfeu, de Fernando Pinheiro.

[@jorgealbertojoselettera4829]

Tiene potencia y buenos agudos. Pero, si bien Turandot es una "princesa de hielo", en esta aria tiene que transmitir su odio y sed de venganza por los principes extranjeros.
