Sabine Devieilhe - Les Contes d'Hoffmann - Les Oiseaux dans la Charmille

[@sumghai777]

The breath control is just out of this world. Those silky high notes r to die for. She slayed this one 12/10

[@BEAMS2112]

Agreed

[@Athompthomp]

her pitch is so perfect...it's almost scary...even during her extreme coloratura...impressive

[@RustyRogers]

Was E above high C? Amazing.

[@Triairius]

I'm not a huge fan of the direction of this scene, but this was possibly the cleanest and most impressively I've heard this aria sung. Brava!

[@ezebranleur]

I desagree. It is extremely clean and bright. And the performance is outstanding: Sabine achieve with her performance (singing and acting) the true "unheimlich" of the Tale of Hoffmann ("The Sandman").

I know she's a great singer and her high notes are superb, but let's talk about what she did at 3:32 - 3:41 WOW 😱 that was REALLY IMPRESSIVE!!! 👏🏆

[@Isa_bella480]

She takes aria to highest level.

I prefer Patricia version😂😢

[@racheljones304]

That crowd wanted to throw flowers at her so bad lol. Beautiful

[@Feeluck]

one of the best versions on youtube. her high notes sound so soft and as if she is singing this with ease marvellous!

[@The333valentina]

as Patricia Janeckova

[@KathrynARyder]

It is admirable that you wish to voice support for your friend/countrywoman/???, but it is not necessary to compare the singing of one soprano to another. In this instance, it is even unkind. Sabine Devieilhe has a very well schooled voice with a superior technique. She is very polished performer with a high coloratura soprano voice (in one cadenza she went up to Ab in the altissimo). Patricia Janeckova is a charming lyric soprano with a moderate range of only up to an Eb. She is young, but I suspect, based on the New Year's Eve Concert I just watched, that she is done with training and this will be the extent of her ambition. She will sing in operetta where the demands on her slim technique are few but she will be applauded and paid and for many that is enough (Sarah Brightman, Charlotte Church, etc.). Madame Devielhe will have a successful career as one of the greatest coloratura sopranos in the world and she will always be the First Soprano on any program.

[@Feeluck]

i know you did not reply to me. but yet your comment shows me, how little i actually know about opera, singers, techniques and the common 'opera-language' this is exciting! so much stuff to discover :)

[@Abcdefucku101]

No.. natalie dessay or sumi jo is all time best

[@aristofebrio]

I like Luciana Serra's version

[@leababy77]

I love the nod to "Mars Attacks" lol

[@cynthiat6505]

I know! Right?!?!

[@ritawing1064]

Was this the only reference in the production?

[@solarprogeny6736]

I really don't think that's what they're going for. She's just a glamorous beehived 1960s barbie doll

[@espressogirl68able]

I was thinking, " I can't be the only one thinking this right now!"

[@timothym.orourke5283]

Exactly what I thought coming across the thumbnail. Her automaton actions are heightened (as well as her hair) by the Bertonesque effect. She’s dazzling!🏳️‍🌈🤨🏳️‍🌈

[@mrbigbigtoe]

3:33 is where slayage begins. I love Natalie Dessay, Diana Damrau, and Luciana Serra, but none of these three had anything like 3:33. This is the best version overall. There are instances where I prefer what one of the other three did, however, this IS the cleanest version.

[@christophercosta1719]

Damn! That was thrilling!

[@mrbigbigtoe]

Christopher Costa Omg Fr! I started screaming lmao

[@giasharie274]

Holy darn you're right. Every soprano I've heard sing this song so far have had something special to give to the song, but that is just amazing!!

[@chrischris1878]

IKR! I wish she used that staccato during the verse with the Ab6 instead of doing legato

[@gpeddino]

Damn, that gave me goosebumps.

[@matthewtravisano1097]

Unreal. She is a treasure.The control she has over her instrument is a master class in technique. She drives the aria, the aria isn't driving her. She interpolates the A, but it doesn't become all about it.

[@kristinmoreno9203]

BRAVISSIMA!! INCREDIBLE and GORGEOUS VOICE! WOW! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@randyburks155]

This is no woman- This is a Goddess!! Her technique is stunning and her pitch is perfect!! I love the interpretation as well. Ms Devielhe is truly a master of the art of Opera! If I ever have the privilege to see her, I'm bringing flowers!

[@christophercosta1719]

I LOVE the dynamics in her performance! Also, the hair and movements are clearly inspired by Mars Attacks, which is brilliant because that character was a disguise, moving with a very inhuman quality. It's a nice departure from the clearly clockwork-y movements of some other performances.

[@FavoriteMovieDate]

Wow. I think I have just found my new favorite soprano. Smooth as silk to the tippy top. No shrieking at all. Amazing.

[@GerardJulienFredericBELLANGER]

mon dieu quelle voix.It's amazing, incredible. là on frise la perfection. Bravo Sabine Devieilhe.

[@angieacapella1847]

I love how she plays this character! She's creepy and refined like a Stepford wife, not an animated and silly child's dolly as most performances are done. Her voice is stunning perfection, so with all that, you can't take your eyes off her. LOVE!

[@nathanliteroy9835]

I suspect that it's hommage to an alien lady from Mars Attacks

[@alexo3198]

I agree! stepford wife was my thought too!

[@glibbergloop]

Agreed, I find myself skipping around the videos of many other performances of this aria, because the "doll acting" is usually a little cringeworthy. Sabine is masterfully reeling us in

It sounds like she was even able to incorporate the authentic french guttural R sound in coloratura, astounding!

[@danielng7795]

She should be doing it. She's French 🤣🤣 . Be proud of your culture

[@AndSorrowsEnd]

Jeff, the God of Biscuits this is pretentious opinion of academia. It is narrow-minded to decide a sound that doesn’t exist in French language is superior to the more natural rétroflexe. There are many unusual sounds in German, so why are those allowed when rétroflexe and nasal are discouraged in favor of things that “sound better” but undeniably make the singer harder to understand for native speakers?

[@odionsmailbox]

I REALLY LOVE THIS!

[@НатальяПарванчук]

Yes! And it's so cool.

[@idraote]

I love how she bends the virtuoso requirements to underline the frozen mechanic of the clockwork doll. There is nothing "alive" in her coloratura, it's shining plastic. And that's intentional. Not many singers would be ready to forgo the pure beauty of sound for the sake of the character. And look at her hands, rigid like talons... A very fine performance.

@@solarprogeny6736 did I say that Juno invented that style? I don't think you can find an actual woman with this kind of over the top updo even in the 60s, while Juno often wears exactly the same exaggerated hair. So both references are ok, no need to be concerned ))

French Lyrics Les oiseaux dans la charmille Dans les cieux l'astre du jour, Tout parle à la jeune fille d'amour! Ah! Voilà la chanson gentille La chanson d'Olympia! Ah! Tout ce qui chante et résonne Et soupire, tour à tour, Emeut son coeur qui frissonne d'amour! Ah! Voilà la chanson mignonne La chanson d'Olympia! Ah! The birds in the arbor, The sky's daytime star, Everything speaks to a young girl of love! Ah! This is the gentile song, The song of Olympia! Ah! Everything that sings and resonates And sighs, in turn, Moves his heart, which shudders of love! Ah! This is the lovely song, The song of Olympia! Ah!

[@christopherpericolosi-king4979]

Her range is stupid good! The clarity of that Ab6 is incredible!

[@emrahotan5331]

3:22 is the final Cadenza and 99% of the sopranos have to finish with low pitch tunes due to technical difficulty, limitations. This Diva has easily overcome and led to high pitches to reveal her heavenly voice. A real masterpiece performance. Any adjective to define her talent & technical perfectness would be insufficient.

[@chivalrouslee]

I love this version! Some passages are so elegantly sung!

[@hunnyflash]
