I don't normally like to listen to coloratura sopranos as their high notes often sound shrill to me. But this lady approaches perfection. Her top notes are crisp and clear, and the fioritura is executed with the highest degree of agility and skill. She injects feeling into the aria too - and if all that wasn't enough, she has a very striking appearance. She turns this aria into more than just a show piece.

[@Kiarinadia]

What a perfect tuned pitch ! Amazing expression too !

Sans contredit la plus grande colorature de notre epoque, elle est incroyable etonnante tout simplement merveilleuse.

[@christianellegaard7120]

Literally screaming, with perfect pitch, timing and diction, at top of her lungs. Simply unreal. It must be an amazing feeling to be able to do that with your voice.

[@voraciousreader3341]

It takes the whole body, with the diaphragm running the show. Having that much resonance in your head on the highest notes is extremely weird, indescribable, and not at all pleasant at the beginning, at least that’s how I experienced it.

[@Regu1us]

Vu en vrai ! C'était fantastique 🤯

When I was in college (2000s) I coached a couple of brilliant young women in producing a Lakme musical revue, and I thought we were pretty good, maybe even quite good. So humble right now, so many tears.

Beautiful to look at in both static and kinetic elements. Of course, wonderful music.

LAKMÉ (presque en récitatif) Où va le jeune Indoue, Fille des Parias, Quand la lune se joue Dans les grands mimosas? Quand la lune se joue Dans les grands mimosas? Elle court sur la mousse Et ne se souvient pas Que partout on repousse L’enfant des parias. Elle court sur la mousse, L’enfant des parias; Le long des lauriers roses, Rêvant de douces choses, Ah! Elle passe sans bruit Et riant à la nuit à la nuit! Là-bas dans la forêt plus sombre, Quel est ce voyageur perdu? Autour de lui des yeux brillent dans l’ombre, Il marche encore au hasard éperdu! Les fauves rugissent de joie, Ils vont se jeter sur leur proie La jeune fille accourt et brave leurs fureurs, Elle a dans sa main la baguette Où tinte la clochette, où tinte la clochette Des charmeurs. (imitant la clochette) Ah! ah! ah! L’étranger la regarde, Elle reste éblouie, Il est plus beau que les Rajahs! Il rougira s’il sait qu’il doit la vie A la fille des parias. Mais lui, l’endormant dans un rêve, Jusque dans le ciel il l’enlève, En lui disant: ta place est là! C’était Vishnou, fils de Brahma! Depuis jour au fond des bois, Le voyageur entend parfois Le bruit léger de la baguette Où tinte la clochette, Où tinte la clochette Des charmeurs. (imitant la clochette) Ah! ah! ah!

[@sylviebasyl2835]

Where does the young Hindu Daughters of the Pariahs go When the moon plays In the great mimosas? She runs on the moss And does not remember That everywhere we reject The child of the outcasts; Along the oleanders Dreaming of sweet things, Ah! She passes noiselessly And laughing at night Down in the darker forest Who is this lost traveler? Around him Eyes shine in the shadows He still walks at random, lost! The wild beasts roar with joy They are going to throw themselves on their prey The young girl runs And braves their fury: She has in her hand the wand Where rings the bell of the charmers! The stranger looks at her She remains dazzled He is more beautiful than the Rajahs! He will blush, if he knows that he owes his life to the daughter of the Pariahs But he, putting her to sleep in a dream Up to the sky he takes her away , Saying to her: 'your place and there!' It was Vishnu, son of Brahma! Since that day in the depths of the woods The traveler sometimes hears The light sound of the wand Or rings the bell of the charmers!

@@davidalbro2009 What can she do that Sabine cannot?

[@davidalbro2009]

@@theoperazone3862 Seriously? How is that even a question? A whole lot which is why she out sells thousands of people desperately trying to reach her level. For one she is able to bring her chest voice to the top of the staff which Sabine cannot do with any consistency. This allows for a powerful sound in a way that Sabine doesn't accomplish. Adele also provides a whole slew of style options such as consonant exaggeration, slides, and runs that Sabine simply doesn't have the level of experience in. How are people so ignorant? In a contest of pop music Adele would win hands down even when judges by opera fans such as myself. We don't have to denigrate one type of singing to promote our own. But rest assured that each style of singing requires its own technique and its own path to mastery.
