The fantastic second act aria from Massenet's Thaïs. Sorry the orchestra gets cut off at the end; I just bought this track, not the full opera, and the track cuts off.

I had the honor of seeing Renee perform Thais at the Met and it was amazing! She is my idol and I would love to be able to have the presence and talent that she delivers on stage in all her roles. I study voice classically in hopes of one day being able to perform in roles such as this at the LA Opera and elsewhere. Keep on singing beautifully Renee! I'll always be listening. :)

It's ironic we're so led to say how beautiful she is. The title of this aria translates "Tell me that I'm beautiful."

Exquisite! THE best soprano, at least in the USA today, Her trills are perfect here. yes. love her...but.... what was "up" with her whole "thing" last year about how she kept saying she was "nervous" about singing the National Anthem at the Superbowl? PUH-LEEZE... was this a Pub. stunt gone bad or what? Personally, I could care less about football.. but tuned in to hear her. I laughed SO hard when the sportscasters in the booth said something to the effect about "wow, that lady can really sing! " uh-duh....ser-puh-RIZE!!! bwahahaha...p.s. THIS is positively beautiful. Brava Renee.

@primohomme I agree. while any (trained) soprano should be able to vocalize a high D in a warm up (in fact, most will have high Fs and above), a spinto or dramatic soprano won't always have them in performance quality.

Sure I know Gheorghiu saw her live a few times and she has a beautiful voice. Nice Italian way of singing(great way to move public), but not the THE VOICE Renee has with full-bodied lyricism and also the high pianissimo singing. This full range is rare for a soprano, as you baritone426, being educated, surely know.Netrebco is impressive, but like you (17y?), a bit young, she's promising thu but not whatso ever ready for something like thais. Did you see the live recording here on youtube?

ESPELHO MEU No 2º ato da ópera de Massenet, Thaïs, a cortesã, Deitada, em luxuosa alcova, mira-se no espelho, Ao lado a estatueta de Vênus e a cesta de romã. Nos sinais de velhice, pede a deusa um conselho Para ficar sempre jovem, onde pode desfrutar As delícias do prazer que o belo corpo consome. Na ária "L'amour est une vertu rare", ato de amar Eleva aos pensamentos celestiais. A isto some Os 4 pilares: simplicidade, humildade, alegria, E Transparência. As pessoas estão empurradas Pela consequência da pandemia global. Na guia De orientações, buscam o que há para se viver Sem as atribulações que provocam enxurradas De dores, a fim de que possam bem sobreviver.

She isn't terrible. but she has a very closed sound to her voice. listening to her makes my throat hurt. I honestly don't know how she can sound like that. There are also a few seams in her voice. I don't think that her voice was meant to be great. She just doesn't have the natural beauty in her color. She works hard, and I can appreciate that. I just don't get all this Renee Fleming worship. She isn't anything spectacular. Not by any means. But of course, you are entitled to disagree.

she hits the note, but she lacks of power in her voice. I've heard her live and sadly you can't hear her unless she is singing in front a microphone. Nothing like the old school or german or european singers.
