Nina Hagen - Carmen - World now 1985

[@krelbar]

How she isn't universally recognized as a great singer is beyond me. Opera, pop...and...well...Nina...she had her own style.

[@markusr7421]

Because her attitude is kinda strange, direct and uncompromisable. Most people cannot deal with people who were straight from the heart, so they diss.

[@andrew_owens7680]

She plays to the beat of a different drummer with a drum made of unobtanium beaten with drumsticks made of melting icicles by a drummer on speed and toad sweat.

[@ОксанаЧемерис-ф6ы]

Это тогда была бы не опера, а цирк.

[@KeesKouwenberg]

@@markusr7421 Exactly what I wanted to say!

[@PazuzuStalker]

Everyone back then knew she was actually an opera singer... people today just don't know such things.

[@CarlosArturoVelarde]

I dare say she is the only vocalist to ever master her instrument in all its nuances.

[@carlosobers8610]

Performing Opera with humor and irony by a great voice. Georgeous!

[@dkalbryte5715]

She is truly amazing.

[@duketgg]

I recommend the videos of Annette Postel and Katharina Herb. I had the pleasure to see both ladies live and I absolutely love them.

[@ComaLies225]

She probably would have made an awesome Opera Singer. Just imagine all the opera snobs fainting at the sight of a punk rocker singing Habanera...and I love Opera! She definitely knows how to play the role and even adds quirk to it perfectly.

[@andrew_owens7680]

No, I'm afraid the only thing she was capable of is being Nina Hagen, and the world is eternally grateful. What a genius.

[@duketgg]

She actually is a trained opera singer. She simply decided to make a living out of a wholly other kind of music at some point.

I would love to see the whole opera of Carmen with Nina Hagen playing the title role. With a little coaching and some work on the lyrics she would be sensational!

[@anadealba9618]

Extraordinaria mezzosoprano!!! Hubiera sido una gran cantante de opera!!!

[@ericjt1234]

I saw her preform this on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and it was stunning. she was dressed like a space traveler with rings circling her body, very late 50s vision of the far future. Stunning performance.

Back in the 80's I had some friends that would listen to her, but I was too preoccupied with all the new synth music that was coming out at the time. Now, I'm thoroughly enjoying a very entertaining and talented person!

I've seen the opera a few times but I think this is probably the closest interpretation of who that girl in the cigar factory would have been.

[@watcherof47]

Karl Rucker is a great composer and bass player! saw Nina with Karl and Band in '84 or '85 im Düsseldorf, Germany. It was the "Angstlos/ Fearless" Tour. A really fantastic concert. And '79 i saw her in Essen, Germany. It was my first concert. And in the middle, Ferdie Karmelk jumped from the stage and fight with a guy who looked and talk to much to Nina. For my first concert i was a bit shocked, but interesting, wow!! Nina is great, for all time. Deshalb " Mach Dir mal nichts vor, hier auf diesen Planeten! Die Mauern im Gehirn, kannste nämlich selbst, wegbeten. Also . . . .

I was just binge watching Nina i.e. her incredible vocal range and came across Carmen. She has to be the most versatile singer I've seen. From punk to opera, show tunes etc. I actually love watching her interviews where she gets so irrate like the Angela Merkel one lol.

[@quaevolumuscredimuslibenter]

Thanks for the great video, I really enjoyed it 😀 👍 During the years it's only getting better and better. Love 💘 Nina Hagen ❤in my heart, mother of punk

[@louisxiiii]

I love this. She really brings it to life once she gets going (it seemed like it took her a bit before she really got into the role). I looked up the lyrics, and it's about how love is unpredictable, a bohemian child who has never known a law. The ending says "If you don't love me, I love you. If I love you, then watch yourself."

She did some faults, lack of training perhaps, but of course shes is a really a mezzo soprano. Amazing vocal.. She came from classical way as child by the way. Underrated, Nina Hagen deserves more attention today!

[@Rock-Metal91]

I'd say she fits into the Assoluta Soprano

[@markusr7421]

@@Rock-Metal91 She is Alto - describes herself to ALTO.

[@Rock-Metal91]

Markus R she may have said Alto, but her voice fits into the Assoluta category of Soprano. She has all the traits; rich and strong lower register, power in chest voice of the Dramatic Mezzo and Dramatic Soprano and the versatility in head voice of the Lyric, Coloratura and Dramatic Soprano in her head voice, and overall being able to sound more agile like a lighter (Lyric) voice or more powerful like a (Dramatic) voice.

[@markusr7421]

@@Rock-Metal91 Thanks for explaining. As I am not so much into the voices of opera singing, I am happy to meet an expert! I was wondering myself after looking at wikipedias explaining, she should be described as "mezzo sopran" . That was not that wrong... Thanks, again!
