[@DanielAvinashVOX]

There's so much you can learn about speech and text interpretation by watching opera.

[@emilievdh9147]

She's so so talented, as a snger and as a teacher! Amazing.

[@Nina-md3tm]

Joyce is a total inspiration

[@danawinsor1380]

Austin's stance and presence were very interesting and convincing. Hi seems naturally comfortable on stage.

[@williamsibree4286]

I think the accompanist must be Michal Biel.

[@kable321]

it's not Biel

[@stephenhosmer9444]

What a wonderful person that young singers have to help them develop their craft; DiDonato's a real sweetheart.

[@smurf902]

May I ask that you identify the students' names? The countertenor is quite thrilling!

[@clefnoteproductions6695]

I believe his name is Austin Hayes. He's very good and very handsome

[@clefnoteproductions6695]

Austin is quite wonderful, but to be bolder in this aria and others be really must develop stronger chest voice and coordination.

[@joshdaniels2363]

IDK, his chest voice sounds pretty strong to me for a fach that sings 99% of their notes in head voice.

[@AndiAlexander1]

@@joshdaniels2363there has to be more chest in the head, so the registers marry.

[@danawinsor1380]

@@joshdaniels2363 His lowest note went down into his baritone voice I believe.

Merci d'écrire le nom de l'accompagnateur !

[@kph11863]

Please the accompanist and the singers' names - you never knew if this could be valuable video when/if their careers take off. This could be a "remember when?" video to look back at.

[@marcelbureau2753]

I thought master classes were for advanced students that took enough serious singing lessons to at least know their voice type!!! I did not think that it was possible for a tenor to come sing a bass aria in a master class session!?! The other singers sound like students in their first year. Are you sure it is not Oxford Got Talent !!!

[@clefnoteproductions6695]

John Johnston doesn't sound like a basso to me. He seems afraid of the top and cracked in a funny spot in his voice, not where you'd expect. It's a nice voice. I think it'll change with maturity

[@mohammedHashem-w6o]

He is definitely not a bass or even a barotine. He is probably a very underdevloped tenor or perhaps a Light lyric barotine.

[@marcelbureau2753]

Of course since DiDonato is an underdeveloped SOPRANO because of lack of technique cannot identify (see\hear) that the singer is an underdeveloped tenor.

[@jacqueswieciech9829]

And you are the world renowned who??? Making a living in opera houses world wide, yet you are the authority on this? You're an idiot. If you have nothing constructive...let me make it clear...CONSTRUCTIVE to say...maybe you shouldnt say anything...keyboard warrior. I love all/most voices for what they bring to the stage and it all comes with respect! They studied their backsides off, went to numerous auditions, learned music they hate-give some respect! What is your background?

[@zauberfleute]

She did the right thing! And if he is a tenor, she did the right thing!!!!
