Why is there such a hate for female singers in the music industry? Yep, she is a soprano AND WHAT? She feels comfortable singing this rep and she does it well SO WHY SO MUCH HATE? She can sing whatever the hell she wants!

[@celibidache1000]

Of course she can sing whatever she wants. Just as I, a tenor, could sing Sarastro's arias if I wanted. It would not be very successful, but I can if a want to.

[@Dunno133]

These critics here. 🙄 How can one be so over judgemental. She‘s a young super talented singer. Have a little respect. Where were you at 25?

[@user-rk2nw8xm5s]

Красавица! Умничка! Без надрывов! Обалденно,,!вау

[@user-rk2nw8xm5s]

Спасибо ютубу! Это было что-то не обыкновенное, такой красивый голос!!!!

[@levieuxpiano]

Elle est prête pour la plus belle carrière possible. Je lui souhaite bonne chance !

[@luchseterna]

[@mikadel2748]

Excellent ! Bravo Elsa!

[@wilsonpereira1307]

Wonderful performance! BRAVO!!

[@frederikputter6920]

After listening to your latest performances and then this, your voice is gorgeous!! This was a great performance too! I can't understand comments of the critics sometime!!

[@normanzurich2781]

Écoutez cet air chanté par June Anderson ou Mariella Devia et vous comprendrez que cette chanteuse n’est pas une « coloratura » mais un soprano lyrique léger d’agilité. Elle s’est trompée d’air et de répertoire. Ce n’est pas sa tessiture, au delà des autres qualités vocales indiscutables qu’elle possède. 🥰🥰🥰 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWKbap2QfdWFmtE kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHurlpSjqL-Uf9k

[@isaballaserrano4991]

Bravissima ❤❤❤❤💯

[@lallybev]

honestly, I don't get people. This singer is great: beatiful tone, great musicality, good legato coloratura, good flexibility between the registers. She is on a higher level than many famous mezzos (cough cough Bartoli)

[@mengqianxu5391]

but actually she is a soprano

[@KrebSDani]

Great voice.

[@user-iy4cq5uy2q]

このゴージャスでブリリアントなアリアを見事に唄いあげる歌姫は成功が約束されたようなモノですね🎵もうどんな難曲も彼女は唄いこなすでしょう🎵ブラボー🎵

[@bilgepayza1270]

I love Rossini

Merveilleuse Elsa Dreisig

[@fabiomarchioro9167]

Bel raggio lusinghier di speme e di piacer, al fin per me brillo, brillo. Arsace ritorno, si, si a me verra. Quest'alma che sinor, geme, tremo, langui.oh come respiro! Ogni mio duol spari, spari. Dal cor, dal mio pensier si dileguò il terror, si! Bel raggio lusinghier, di speme di piacer, al fin per me brillo, si, al fin per me e brillo. La calma a questo cor. Arsa ce renderà: arsa ce ritorno... qui, qui a me verrà, qui verrà, verrà! Dolce pensiero di quell'istante, a te sorride, l'amante cor, si. Come più caro dopo il tormento è il bel momento di goia e amor! è il bel momento di goia e amor! Di goia, di goia e amor!... Ah! Dolce pensiero di quell'istante, a te sorride l'amante cor, si. Come più caro dopo il tormento, è il bel momento di pace amor. Di goia e amor...

[@jasonblack4208]

Did she just do a Marilyn Horne ornament at the end? o.O that moved the performance up from a 5 to a 7 lol

[@arnoldamaral7406]

Jason Black I mean that daemonize low note? For the longest time I thought M.H . Has asthma. LOL Arnold Bourbon Amaral

[@luceafarul579]

Good musicality, clear top range. but need to work on those legatos and coloratura precision.

[@aerasmus2129]

Brilliant performance. AErasmus.

[@wotan10950]

There's a great voice somewhere in there. Needs more polish and experience. But why are the orchestra players making faces behind her? The two oboe players and the French horn player are laughing and pulling faces. Very unprofessional.

[@shireenD22]

I think they were impressed, specifically the horn player

[@schneevongestern9898]

Well. I believe she has a great mezzo voice with a high extension. Or something. And a lot of potential. But I don't think this piece was a good choice. And it isn't sung very well. Measured at a high standard. Sure. Measured at an average persons standard she sings this amazingly. But measured at the goal standard any singer should have this isn't good enough. If sung in recital or at a contest, this is a show-off aria with many vocal tricks which demand technical proficiency. If you do it, do it well. Anderson, Sutherland, I believe she should remain in her comfortable mezzo range and carefully but sustainably grow a stronger high extension. Here it sounds not well resonated and strained. I love her voice and hope she has a healthy and solid development and career ahead.

[@susanfilip2286]

And I believe you have no idea about voices. She is not even close to a MEZZOS SORPANO. She is just a normal lyric soprano.

[@MySensualWorld]

Cecilia Bartoli is much better!

[@toomanymarys7355]

She is deliberately using piano in several places. Its HARD to sing high and quietly.

[@josephnicholas9812]

Starts good but goes off the breathe and stays off the breathe for most of the piece.

[@operabilia]

Totally outcast in this Rossini serio-drammatico! This is not for a soubrette.

[@frederikputter6920]

Soubrette? Really? Does she sound like a canary? Stupid remark!!!

[@schneevongestern9898]

Ok she must certainly is not a soubrette. Wtf sounds like soubrette here?

[@SingerGeneLeonard]

Orchestra to loud and rushing!!! She needs to set the pace. She does not have the vocal or mental chops for this aria yet. Great voice but I would stick to Mozart for at least 5-7 years then pull this out and try it.

[@LCWMI]

Gene Leonard why should she stick to Mozart for a while, in your opinion? What do you mean by that? Do you think she is too light? Or maybe too Mozartienne?

[@luceafarul579]

Laura C. I think he meant mozart is easier to sing, which would of course, be completely ignorant.

[@susanfilip2286]

The voice is to small. No substance in the middle. It is very typical for lyric sopranos of this generation...And I agree with you: Pamina, Pamina, Pamina. What does she sing ? _ Micaela and even heavier.Ridiculous

[@marylambcarter]

not for Rossini

[@bodiloto]

giusto .

[@arnoldamaral7406]

CRAZY COW HOW ABOUT NOT SINGING BEL CANTO. MORE LYRIC ROLES ETC. What do you think? I agree there is a voice there. Just a bad choice. She won the competition. That Bass baritone from Belarus is also great. A Portuguese coloratura shows promise as well. I just don't think she's totally dedicated I don't blame her she seems too intelligent has other interest Etc not being partial no we're not related just making an observation thank you for the website I really enjoyed it will look at your other websites as well. Arnold Bourbon Amaral

[@DiomedesDioscuro]

Not for opera.

[@vincec8218]

All that preparation for a micro trill @ 4:25, laughable!

[@HolFlei]

Elsa Dreisig is NOT an French soprano; she's German

[@frederikputter6920]

She was born in Paris from Danish parents

[@diezpiedrasnegras1703]

She is French. I have met her.

[@MrSoerenbager]

Her mother is Danish. Her father French. I believe she has both passports.

[@Dunno133]

Why is that even important?

[@KayHarpaGone]

@@Dunno133 sa diction est parfaite en français

[@herrbrucvald6376]

Her top notes just aren't. there. period. She wil never sell tickets appearing in this role. Joan Sutherland and her legacy continue utterly unchallenged.

[@DanyelHawkes]

this is borderline offensive.

[@boristejedasunol7034]

Que horror. Decir que eso es cantar Rossini. Voz anêmica y sin personalidad

[@voilosapete4731]

Terrible performance. But the voice has potential to be good
