Pretty Yende - Il Dolce Suono from Lucia Di Lammermoor

Pretty Yende performs Il dolce suono from Gaetano Donizetti's tragic opera Lucia di Lammermoor. Taken from her new album "Dreams".

Dreams can take various shapes. From love and longing in Juliette’s “Je veux vivre dans ce rêve” to delusions and desperation in Lucia’s mad scene. Through the eyes of young opera heroines Pretty Yende slips into their world of dreams with arias of the bel canto and romantic repertoire. With Dreams Pretty Yende also refers to her very own fairytale that continues to this day. From a girl in a remote town in South Africa she turned into one of the world’s most sought-after sopranos living her dream on the world’s opera stages.

The South African voice is something you can't contend with. What a beautiful interpretation!

[@iancaldeian]

It is they along with Koreans. I, for one, am glad they are bringing a new life to the genre.

[@antionette97]

It's sad that I just found out about Pretty today.... I love her voice. She's so beautiful and elegant. I'm Blessed to have heard her. ❤️

[@slickchick8292]

A. ALEXIS I too just found her and am blown away at the clarity and range. She is beautiful.

[@playsaboutmycat]

I just found this today! She’s amazing!

[@oredp731]

I found out about her today...It was a year after you but now I know.. I guess it was the right time to listen and for me it was worth the wait.

[@Christin5554]

same goes for me.

[@skimmelkrul]

That is pretty sad

[@wurstgitarre]

Saw her yesterday in Hamburg in La Traviata as Violetta. Sensational - voice, charisma, passion: everything was perfect. Amazing!

[@alankruza997]

I just discovered this video. Exquisite! South Africa produces so many wonderful choirs, singers, and musicians.

Brought tears to this old mans eyes.

She just IS. What a gift to hear.

Thise South African Sopranos are Superb

[@shaymoore1260]

Beautiful performance from Pretty she is South African so proud from Shay in South Africa

[@jeanmelaineekissi2825]

Wahooo quelle elegance et justesse , Elle demeure pour moi l'une des meilleure soprano de notre temps

[@GeorgePutzenheimer]

Her annunciation makes it easier for me to understand my favorite aria better. This is my favorite version.

[@mightykaytor]

Oh, Pretty is an understatement of a name, she is so Wonderful

[@sandecox6031]

Not only is she superb but fantastic theatrical performance as well extraordinary and so expressive to the most minute detail.

[@irenkabohac100]

Wat een fantastische stem. Betoverend. Heel indrukwekkend..

I know I'm not the only one over here like YOU BETTAAAAAA👏🏾

[@robertmcnamara5407]

As a lover of classical music, I am overjoyed that new audiences are finding voices like this through other mediums and suddenly wondering why they had never bothered. This is what art is about and we must never forget the composers of past centuries, were also the rock stars of their time. I found Pretty whom I adore, then discovered her sister not so long ago. This is one talented family.

[@marinafuchs5986]

Seriously I wanna cry 😭 I love the fifth element version, I heard others but this ❤❤❤❤❤ this is amazing, I'm in love, there's so much feeling in her interpretation!

[@TheRaySkye]

World. Voice. Now. Needs!!!

[@peachheart08]

Here from The Harder They Fall Soundtrack in June 2022. Wow she is amazing 🥲🥰👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@anandy9292]

such beautiful quality of voice, pretty is quickly becoming the primary coloratura prima donna of the 21st century, it has been a very long time since we had heard such a clear voice and a free and riveting upper register, she takes me back to sutherland and gruberova

[@mslacuna]

an andy I do agree you. Her voice has the potential to be the biggest powerhouse out there. However, to discount Inva Mula Tchako is both negligent and maddening.

[@dougbarker3019]

She's certainly not in Sutherland's league. Just listen to how the ends of phrases fail to sit evenly on the breath. Yes, it it a beautiful voice in terms of tone but the technique is still not up to superstar standard.

[@michelmarcgervais5544]

@@dougbarker3019 I agree. The voice is beautiful, but I wish it was more connected to her support. If you want to hear someone with the colour and technique (close) of Sutherland, listen to June Anderson. I don't know why she always did better in Europe than in America. She is an amazing singer.

[@vusumzisojada3454]

true.

I'd buy a Multipass to see this live for sure!

Just heard Pretty Yende in the most amazing new year Eve concert. So amazing

[@Ashaliyeva]

That was AMAZING! I fell in love with this song as a teen because of “The Fifth Element” (who didn’t, right??) and this is one of the best performances of it I’ve ever heard. 💗😭💗

[@maadams1057]

Me too. Is the the singer?

[@Ashaliyeva]

@@maadams1057 the singer in the movie is a woman Inva Mula. 💗

[@SilfredoSerrano]

@@maadams1057 No way! This singer was probably still in Jr. High when that movie came out!

[@ic6812]

Same.

[@JMM224]

Same here. 😊. Wow this is an amazingly musical voice! What a expressive and beautiful rendition!

[@aaronburdon221]

One of my favorite opera pieces and she did a beautiful job of it. Heard probably 35-40 renditions of it and this is probably top 3 in my opinion. Lucia de Lammermoor is a beautiful but tragic story and she does it justice in my humble opinion.

[@StanWatt.]

What a fabulous rich voice. This girl can saaaang!

[@appleofhiseye4112]

Amazing and very clear.. Soothing to my soul!

[@jrmcgujan]

Le doigt de dieu s'est posé pour bénir votre voix céleste. Encore merci pour ce grand moment d'évasion et d'émotion. The finger of God has come down to bless your heavenly voice. Thank you again for this great moment of escape and emotion.

[@oredp731]

I wish but could like this twice..I really feel the music..when she sings it..wow..

[@DorotaPulik]

Thank you for a wonderful concert in Poland,in the Grand Theater in Łódź (September 10). The lovely evening !🙏👏

[@alteregocarson]

I’ve recently begun exploring opera, since I’ve loved and played classical music as a child but never understood how classical voice works. I just have to say, even to my untrained ear, you are exceptional here! What an amazing performance, I loved your expressivity :)

[@dunruden9720]

expression!

[@LC-Kaufmac]

I am awe struck!!! That has to be the most beautifully moving rendition I've ever heard!!!

[@elderzimriah]

My God... The most wonderful Soprano I've heard. So free and tone is clear. Her high notes are amazing. A timbre that most sopranos only dream of.

[@JacobMinger]

I would love to see a full production of this opera with Pretty. This is one of my favorite aria’s and she did it wonderfully.

[@user-il5oq5df6l]

Hopefully a staged version with Ms. Yende will NOT be one of those bizarre Productions that have come into vogue lately.
