Letona, Maravillosa, para el mundo. Fantástica.!! GRACIAS

[@silulekomkhize7839]

Wow what a beautiful voice! Love the agility❤

[@mozart200657]

I know personally Mrs Rebeka, is an excellent singer and a lovely person

[@jjh2456]

mozart200657 I love her Mozart, especially her Elletra

[@arnoldamaral7406]

Jose Hill Motzart suits her voice beautifully. Her Norma was not good @ all. Arnold Bourbon Amaral

[@claudineshafa5546]

​@@arnoldamaral7406 Her Norma is magnificent. Beautifull singer and actress. What a stage presence. The audience was conquered. By the way I have noticed your weird comments on Marina Rebeka's videos 😐🙄

[@aneashumm203]

absolutely stunning

[@johnhamann-wg3yn]

Beautiful singing of Rossini's greatest soprano aria - Bravo! ❤

[@Alexmeister25]

She reminds of me of a young June Anderson voice... 🙏🏻

[@mariezenaida]

Her coloratura is crisper than most in this aria, actually quite impressive!

[@TheAz9012]

РЕБЕКА МАРИНА БЕСПОДОБНА! ЗАМЕЧАТЕЛЬНЫЙ ДУЭТ!!!!!!!!

[@Tosycyzkiewicy]

Signora Rebeka is a great soprano. She sings the aria with such a pleasure and joy. Her voice has very warm quality, much better than Dessay, Damrau and Gruberova. She should appear constantly on the international stages. The art of belcanto is still alive!

[@Tosycyzkiewicy]

She is better than these singers because Dessay is criticised for her last Traviata, Gruberova doesn't have good low register and she is already in decline, Damrau - just listen to her Ah non giunge. In comparison, Signora Rebeka has an even, pleasant voice with easy high notes.

[@raularango5973]

Esas cantantes sovieticas tan bellas y musicales. Esta es una grsn voz.

[@podkowalesna]

She's LATVIAN

[@mavelbautista5902]

BRAVAAAAAA!!!!!!

[@HMBISPO]

Maravilhosaaaaaaa

[@peteradaniel]

She reminds me of a young June Anderson. Same sized voice, I just hope she doesn't push it like Anderson did. Stick to lyric bel-canto a few light Verdi, Musetta and Mozart. No Norma!!!!

[@xkoidem]

June Anderson didn't push. She have sung mostly bel canto repertoire because her big-sized coloratura voice fits this kind of music wonderfully. I don't know if Ms. Rebeka would do justice to the heavy role of Norma (I'm worried about Sonya Yoncheva's Norma at ROH next season as well), but I know one thing: June Anderson was a great Norma due to her splendid coloratura technique, warm timbre, big voice size and unique, elegant musical taste.

[@christopherlau6982]

She did Norma this year

[@jjh2456]

Alex Daniel the only light Verdi there is Gilda. She is excellent in Mozart, but big bel canto a la Lucia is a no.

[@peteradaniel]

Jose Hill Glide, Violeta, Amalia in I Masnadieri, maybe even Amelia Grimaldi in Simon Boccanegra. A few.

[@krowapaulinka4351]

She's sang Norma this year. Haven't been there but there are videos of her Casta Diva on YT and I absolutely love it!

[@magicmonkichi]

Agreed the middle register an coloratura is wonderful. The upper register is too wide and unfocused. She has much potential.

[@caninbar]

She has a wonderful voice and I'm sure she is going to have an important career. This is a very difficult aria and she handles the agility passages very well. However, the top notes, contrary to what I have read here in the comments, sound forced and uncontrolled to me and consequently too open. I'm sure as this singer matures, she will have more control of her technique and voice and produce these top notes with more nobility and less volatility.

[@aleandromeister]

Seven years later, she IS Norma.

[@claudineshafa5546]

And a NORMA so beautifully sang and embodied. Saw her in Capitole de Toulouse. Unforgettable.

[@gudrunill]

I like her enormously but...this piece is too heavy for her voice now...coloraturas are fantastic and clear..top notes..soandso...she will certainly be better in the future..

[@Desideria7]

Only high talented and outstanding artists were, are and will be criticized, but only those who never stand out and are "good" always will be praised for their "normality". Yes, Rebeka really has "an even a pleasant voice" and sings good and professionally, but in no way outstandingly, but Dessay is a great artist, Gruberova already remained in the story and Damrau is one of the greatest Queens of the night of all times. Remember, only talent-free artists are never criticized.

BRAVISSIMA BRAVISSIMA BRAVISSIMA

[@Ariadne7710]

Every new soprano who appears on the scene nowdays wants to sing great belcanto pieces with lots of coloratura passages but with so many of them now it is not easy to stand out. This soprano has a nice voice reasonably good technique but her top notes are too forced and uncontrolled and there is no vocal colouring at all so the whole piece sounds very monochrome and monotone. Perhaps she could try a more lyric repertoire. The belcanto/coloratura scene is already pretty crowded.

[@rugby8-Philadelphia]

Your analysis of her top notes is far from correct

[@lordnievergeeldennetherlan8281]

her technique is not enough, she is not in the tune or even style of real belcanto... she has much more a Mozart, Schubert & certain Coloratura light roles, but she can't do proper Belcanto, because this would depend on more schooling and understanding.... its not easy to sing belcanto, I can only say, that Belcanto needs more intelligence as a musician.....

[@rugby8-Philadelphia]

@ariadne A year later, I am revisiting this and find it amazing that you are so cavalier nn your statement "she has reasonably good technique " ..........perhaps you should educate yourself before you pass judgements? (Particularly when you are off base....lol) 😎😎😎

[@artdanks]

Wonderful voice! But like most singers of today the try to sing Bel Canto, she doesn't understand the style or technique! There is no line! Whether singing legal phrases or coloratura, the notes are never connected into one line, carried by the breath and the musical phrase being one. It seems to be the prevailing idea today that all it takes to sing Bel Canto is to have a big dramatic voice that is also flexible enough to execute coloratura passages. But it is so much more than this! PLEASE learn the Art of Bel Canto! Listen to the greats! Callas, Sutherland, Caballe, Horne, etc.

....sounds like you've become a disciple of 'Mister Opera " 😥😥😥 I think you are way off base ....I could be wrong, but, it sounds your are spouting his retread pablum You used to make spot-on, well supported comments 😥😥😥

[@gianerajohn436]

Rugby8 if he was that much of a disciple he wouldn’t have named Horne among the greats for her nose/mask singing - which is a fact though 🤪

[@Come-Dians]

Her be phrasing is not belcantoor even Italian : it sounds much more like an operetta Chrstel von der Poet

Sorry, where do you hear the "voice better than NNN" here? She is a normal professional singer like many other sopranos, no more not less. It is just the general unprofessional level of the main "crowd" of singers that makes the impression that a normal professional singer sounds like something special. It's sad.
