[@christianmeyer6724]

Thank you for your thoughtful reaction ! The heart-breaking news is that dear Patka finally lost her brave fight against breast-cancer that hit her last year. It looked like she'd make it for quite a while. In steps she returned to stage and married this year. The cancer came back and took a wonderful human and her angelic 🎶 voice 😢💔 We mourn with all close to her heart 🙏 Rest in peace dear Patricia 🪦

[@user-co5sv1sd4v]

💔🖤🕊️

[@michaelkwan5257]

Such talent at an age when there was more to come but cut tragically. Sad and a loss to all of us.😢

[@rx7dude2006]

RIP Patricia she was an angel here on earth.

[@samisuomalainen9870]

I wish I had a key to wind up this Patrícia doll back to life.

[@ireneleeallthingsharpdfwak2585]

So sad that such amazing talent has left this world at the mere age of 25. I wish I could have heard her in person/live during her lifetime.

[@onechopbuddy3849]

I’m so upset she has passed away at just 25, RIP beautiful lady x

[@homobohemicus]

I am so sad to inform that Patricia passed away 5 days ago :( Such a beautiful voice and lost talent being so young

[@MrTrevorHoltzworth]

Soprano Patricia Janečková was one of the bright lights of the opera world. Her young life and promising career were tragically cut short by cancer to which she succumbed at the age of 25. She died on October 1, 2023.

[@Lord-hoboco777]

RIP Patricia x 😭

[@nethervoicevideos]

Sadly, Patricia passed away on October 1, 2023, age 25.

[@mikenolan8044]

Pah-TREE-see-ah YAH-netch-koh-VAH (Slovak pronunciation) Patricia was only 17 at the time of this performance. The coloratura skill exhibited is very remarkable for one so young. I absolutely loved your Masterclass reaction and analysis of this piece. Very nice background info as well. This is one of my all-time favorite arias. It is IMO Offenbach’s finest effort in combining delightful humor with truly gorgeous singing and music, something also found in his Orphée aux enfers. It is not simply the doll motif that is funny. The lyrics are silly - birdsong and love everywhere - almost to the point of being a send-up of Romantic traditions. Nonetheless it is truly beautiful aria, although a real challenge to sing. Great job Jess! Thank you!

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Thanks for the help with the pronunciation of her name! I, too, love this piece by Offenbach. I love seeing how different soprani bring this doll to life

[@cancelled_user]

@@jessicasopranonotes Here's the pronunciation :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIjUiqODiriDrrM

[@carr0760]

17?! What the hell....that's just...I'm going to hide in my vocal studio now and pretend I don't feel inadequate.

[@philipmcniel4908]

That's similar to what I'd heard, except that I'd heard the c in her first name pronounced as a "ts," so it would be pronounced "Pah-TREATS-ee-ya," I'd also heard that in her last name, only the first syllable is stressed.

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

I am a fan of hers. The voice is even better now she is in her twenties. So many female opera singers set my teeth on edge but she has a lovely tone.

[@garrywood5015]

I have returned once again to enjoy your reaction to Patricia singing this aria. Once again I am delighted with your very obvious enjoyment and your expert analysis! More Patricia, please! 😊

[@martin_93]

me too! Good news, that Patriciais recovering and has even announced her first concerts after her illness!

[@christianmeyer6724]

​@@martin_93 We all shared hope and good spirits. Loved how happy she looked on the photos all around her marriage ❤ But finally cancer won and we mourn a much to young death 😢 Only 25 😢One more Angel in heaven now 🙏 Rest in peace dear Patka 🪦 You'll stay in our hearts forever 💔⚘️🙏

[@matokracalik9939]

It is with Great regret I have to inform you The Devine Goddess of Song Mrs Patricia Janeckova 😇💔🌹🕯️ has passed away on October 1 2023 at the age of 25 due to an aggressive cancer. My Deepest sympathies for Her Husband, Family, Friends & Fans For their Tragic loss in this their Darkest Hour. May our Lord send His Blessed Angels to speed Her to His Loving Arms in His Kingdom of Heaven !!! ( RIP Mrs Patricia 😇🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 )

I first came across Patricia in 2012 singing Ennio Morricone's _"Once Upon A Time In The West"._

[@DelphiaStrickland]

It's "Yah-netch-KOH-vah" :) So sad that she lost her cancer battle, and only 25 years old. She got married just this past June 😭

[@franciscojavierp.7162]

Your patrons have chosen a very good theme, with a great technique and an exceptional staging, from the beginning to the end, with the doll saying goodbye to his audience from the shoulder of his "creator". On your part you have demonstrated a technique that we all knew and your sympathy when showing it to your audience does not detract at all the great performance of this artist that you have just incorporated to your channel. A big hug

[@Vejur9000]

This is how divas do it. Masterful performance.

[@parsifal40002]

I love your technical analysis of Miss Janeckova. Spot on! I took voice lessons in college hoping for a career in opera as a baritone. Instead, I gave private voice lessons. A career in opera didn't happen. Patricia's technique was flawless! I love her!

[@estebanarce3446]

I’m in love with this performance! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Everything was perfection!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Patricia is flawless! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@lynnrathbun]

I love your detailed comments.

[@jessicasopranonotes]

thanks!

[@bobadams179]

I very much appreciated your technical analysis of Patricia's performance of this aria. It makes a big difference when you have someone who knows the subject of their reaction.

[@garrywood5015]

Wow, Jess, I love this reaction and technical analysis! I think it has become my favourite reaction and technical analysis, because of the pure delight in your face as you listened and the depth of detail in your analysis! It will become the third reaction to a Patricia Janeckova performance that I will return to just to watch the reactor's expressions of delight as they listen. I have heard two other professional singers analyse this performance and they both noted, as you do, her precision on the trills and stacatti and the quality of her voice remaining even as she moves up in her register. I would love to have you react to more of Patricia's performances - any or all of three Rossini arias, L'Orgia, La Pastorella delle Alpi, La Danza (conveniently all three have been published together in a post by user pa1189j) , or Fruhlingsstimmen, Mein Herr Marquis by Strauss. Thanks again for a very enjoyable and educational analysis.

[@franciscouderq1100]

I am not an opera fan but I enjoyed listening to your comments because watching this performance before I was already touched by its fullness and now I understand better why. Thank you

[@jessicasopranonotes]

I'm glad you enjoyed it Francis!

[@Nobilangelo]

This is far and away the best performance of the Doll Song I have ever seen. It is brilliant in every way.

[@Rivkah.Gamble]

This is definitely one of my favourite performances to revisit. So glad you're breaking this one down for us!💛 Question: have you ever performed this one?

[@jessicasopranonotes]

Me too! So well done! I have not performed this one. I do use some of the coloratura parts in this aria and make vocal exercises out of them. It’s a fun challenge 🙃

Enchanting Performance 🎭

[@anthonybalistreri5226]

I love how the violinists look upon her and appreciate the performance.

[@michaelhirst4191]

Especially the brunette 1st violin with the fabulous smile. I gather that she is a professor of violin playing, when not working in the orchestra.

​@@jessicasopranonotes Dear Jessica, Could you honour Patricia by giving us more of your exellent reviews of what she has sung? This one you made has given the best outstanding view on her talent of all who tried to give their opinion. Thank you for that 🙏

[@scataplaft]

Hi from Brazil, dear! I love your channel and your reviews! It must be awesome to talk about music for hours and hours with you! I love this version of this aria (she's 17 y/o!!!) and the extra effort put into it, but my favorite one is still Nathalie Dessay singing it pregnant at La Scala. For some reason I find it to be a very "elegant" rendition, meaning that nothing is trully overdone. It's as delicate as a feather yet preserving the "fantastic" side of the scene. Maybe it's just a "La Scala" thing, but it is trully magical and the public goes nuts! Maria Aleida and Sabine Devieilhe absolutely blew my mind with their staccati too. Maria sounds borderline robotic, like a "real doll". Sabine slays also. Her singing is smoother and "human" but on the other hand it's probably the cleanest in terms of sound itself. It's like fine crystal and many notes could trully be confused with a high pitch of a violin or a flute if isolated. Her look is terrible though. Lol.

[@ScottishJazzman]

Great analysis of a great performance. Again 🙂 Sending best wishes to Patricia in her fight with cancer 😔

[@stevenmeyer9674]

Sadly, she passed away yesterday. Life is so unfair.

[@afiiik1]

I lived in Ostrava at the time. I've been in that hall many times. I could have gone to that concert, I'm so angry at myself for not going.... 🙈😭

[@Erulin68]

Just like everyone knows 'Twinkle, twinkle little star' and sings it to their kids without knowing it's actually Mozart, people all know Offenbach but don't know it's actually called 'Orpheus in the underworld' Highly underrated composer. He needs more exposure.

[@tangeavaipulu6245]

I love the performance of Patricia, but, for me, the most impressive version is from Sabine Devieilhe. What she does with this song is from another world.

Can you make a performance analysis of Sabinne Devieilhe singing the Bell Song from Lakme? :)

[@amandapaiva8739]

20:37 Patrícia is agile and assertive, the hand detail reminds me of the singer Mariah Carey who moves her hand as if using it to guide her while playing the Melismas.

[@hehunches]

YEs anchoring with tactile sense, an invisible map in space, as a drummer, my circle is mapped in my mind and I understand this... similar to a piano keyboard but flipped vertically. Brilliant.

[@adventuresinmusic2487]

I'm fairly new to opera and really appreciate your analysis and the story. This has been one of my favorites. I would like to hear your break down of Anna Netrebko & Elīna Garanča - Offenbach: Les Contes d'Hoffmann: Barcarolle kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqaTfmd5gtZqq6s I find Ms Garanca to be absolutely angelic and only Ms Netrebko is capable of matching her so well.

[@Glasguensis]

Thank you for such a penetrating analysis of this magical performance by Patricia. In due course, perhaps you could look at one of her more recent performances - for example kzbin.info/www/bejne/amSsZ5Z_ptmdb9E or kzbin.info/www/bejne/bojViaekeL2Sb8k. Many thanks again.

[@warren1564]

Listening to this there is one note that doesn't match the rest and she did it more than once...was wondering if this was intentional on her part or if it is actually written that way in the music... I don't even know how to describe where it is... It's like a grouping of 4 staccato runs? I know nothing about music... The whole piece is beautiful...just something that stuck out to me...🤔...I will try to time stamp...was just curious 😊 EDIT: 15:05 ish

[@noneofthekings6501]

I do wonder if maybe it was an accident the first time and she decided to go with it for the rest of the song? 🤔 It is more plausible that she just had a harder time with that specific section, but one can imagine!

[@rabbit9979]

Who cares if she missed one tone 🤦‍♀️ She passed away btw

[@alanlevin167]

If you looking for suggestions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYrJcmt5qJ5msNk is a recording by of Daahoud, a Clifford Brown song, originally written for trumpet. It's much easier to play abstract intervals than it is to sing them. The vocalist is Alba Armengou, 18 years old from Barcelona in Spain. She's played trumpet with this band since age 8 (First solo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/garJmmSAl7Spac0) and started singing at 9, in a foreign language (for her): kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6emZIaaa95lf8U. Alternate songs could be: A Flower is a Lovesome Thing (Strayhorn) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gobdZYdnoc55fdk or Triste (Jobim) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpqtnXR7Z9iZh8U and 4.4 M plays so far.

[@michaelhirst4191]

Alas, and I thought she was winning the fight until the terrible news came out - and so soon after her wedding. She has just been honoured by her adopted city of Ostrava with a lifetime achievement award. She did not live to receive it, but as she lay dying she was told of it and apparently that news gave her comfort.

[@lifelover515]

I've been a huge fan of Patricia's talent (and beauty) since her teens, and this was the performance (at 17) that first arrested me. Jess, have you heard her lately, at 23? Her power and dexterity have gone from strength to strength. I recommend Rossini's 'La Danza', the version with the Jihoceske Filharmonic dir. by Marek Prasil. As a lay fan, I was impressed with your musical analysis, if a little lost here and there. Your pron. was a little off - see Mike Nolan below, but entirely forgivable. Off topic, may I say what a refreshing pleasure it is to hear a North American black person speaking articulate, grammatical English instead of that hideous 'ebonic' street jive that seems to have become acceptable these days.I'm sure you know what I mean and I won't pollute your site with examples, except to say some people seem to wear their semi-literacy like a badge of honour. Best wishes.

If I had have had the forethought to marry an opera singer I wouldn't be divorced. As a person who loves singing, and who married a person whose singing sounds like a brain damaged hippopotamus I would overhear it and I would cringe and then I'd think, I love them anyway. But IT WAS A RED FLAG. That's my fault. All my bad. Because overlooking a bad voice, let me tell you, it eventually comes back to haunt you. Then, one day, it's just over. You can't do it anymore. It begins to be tortorous. It's impossible to unhear the worst singing in the world. Always ask your lover to sing for you BEFORE you commit. Before hand, always. I named my child after Mary Costa, my very first love. I hope my daughter doesn't have her mother's voice, I pray, please god. I beg thee. Now I know I should have listened for a mate, not looked for one. Who cares if your face is a train wreck or your body looks like a nightmare! If you sound pretty, you are pretty. If not, well... The voice reflects the character, I have learned, as well, that your mate is hiding. When my ex roared it wasn't a lioness'es roar, and really, I would have loved that. I would have purred back. T'was the devil's roar, a mixture of screaming bullfrogs, half squashed racoon raodkill, and dying goats. Loved your analysis and your voice; love it. There is a God.

thank you, love it! notice: the vowel can last as long as we please. consonants are staccato 🤍 i taught myself how to sing. i worked my range up to a true soprano, not bad for 5’11” but i pay the price by having such a constructed nasal passage. God loves us in all kinds of ways. love, david the speed of the descent of the pure note makes it slightly atonal. yan-ech-ko-uh, btw
