You opera singers are other worldly. Thank you for gracing us with your presence here on Earth.

Beautiful interpretation of Pamina. Found your reaction video of Nightwish and next i saw this. I love it. Greetings from Germany.

Amazing. ☺

It was fun to see the reaction between her being an opera singer and something surreal metal, this piece is wonderful, a lot of technique is noticeable, it's good that I arrive a little early to be a subscriber to the growing channel

Amazing singing! And i almost couldn't tell you from a native German speaker, great job. The only thing that slightly gave it away was the word "nicht", where the challenging "ch" seems to be pronounced ever so slightly too forward in the mouth (for lack of more precise terminology), almost becoming a "nisht". Whereas a native speaker would pronounce it softer and more backwards. But it's difficult to explain, especially when the sound doesn't exist in English, so it often is just an approximation however i'd describe it. In Barbara Bonney's rendition of the same aria, she ends up pronouncing the "ch" too softly, so she goes the opposite way, which is again the telltale sign that it's not her native language either. So if one wanted to fool even the most attentive German audience into believing that you're one of them, then this critical "ch" sound is the one to focus on. It really takes nothing away from your performance, which was excellent!

Thanks Mike! Often opera singers move the placement of the sound to a more forward position as it is much easier to sing that way, for me it was a conscious decision to help me maintain the legato line in the aria. Same thing happens when we sing in French, you will notice very few opera singers do the guttural sound and opt for a rolled r (forward placement of r) instead. Just helps to keep the tongue out of the way and maintain a rich, even sound. ☺️

@@cristinamrusso Interesting, thanks for the explanation! I should have known that this wasn't a simple mistake, given your perfect pronounciation of everything else. Finding out about your full awareness of it, and it being a prioritization of the quality of the singing, makes it a completely legitimate trade-off.

Adding also that a more forward “ch” travels better in big theaters too! I’m not a native speaker, but my German is decent and I live and work as a singer in Germany. In heavier repertoire of R.Strauss and Wagner, you’ll hear even native speakers do this so their diction is heard better from far away ☺️just another one of those little adjustments from spoken to singing text! 🎶

[@crystalsmart6744]

You classically trained opera singers really do have the "right" or experience to have react channels and talk about the vices and singing quality. The charismatic voice is the same, she's a opera singer who took the dice into metal, even became friends with some of the most popular metal vocalists, convinced then to let her stick a camera down their throatwhile singing😂.i beleive she is learning to scream, she got addicted to the metal.😂

Mozart... Say no more.
