I am so grateful for you 💓
Thank you for always being so supportive omg 💖 It means so much to me!
I was one of the producers/singers that asked Robin to sing in and direct Old Maid and the Thief last season. Don't be tricked by her commendable modesty. She absolutely killed both jobs!
It was a joy to get to do, despite the absolutely unhinged schedule I had at the time, what with Old Maid, Pirates, and H&G all rehearsing simultaneously 😂
Dramatische Sopran in a wheelchair here! Let's keep fighting, one day opera will be accessible! Keep up the great work!
Absolutely! The more we talk about it, the more pressure on the opera world to become more accessible :) Always love hearing from more wonderful disabled opera humans - hello from a Lyrischer Sopran with a sparkly soprano cane!
Me: "I don't travel much" Also me: LITERALLY TRAVELLING ALL THROUGHOUT THE VIDEO 🤡🤡🤡
Still waiting for the fach explanation of the other voice parts!! 🥺🥺 haha
Hello, Robin: I hope you are doing well. A fellow opera and musical theater lover, as well as a person with a disability, I appreciate your operatic accessibility videos; in fact, much of this information is something that I wish presented itself when I began my exposure to classical music at just seven years of age. Three of my favorite operas include La fille du régiment, Tales of Hoffman, Carmen, and Tosca. If I may ask, why are there no videos of you singing? Best regards, Cole
my teacher has a lot of squillo, she makes my unbearable pain😂
Yay, you're back! Another thing I would add would be to be respectful of people's specific needs, particularly if they have a non-physical or at least "invisible" disability (e.g. autism). TL;DR, don't be a meanie! I had a screaming meltdown yesterday, and I'm still really scared of ruining my vocal cords, though these happen rarely for me. Anyway, happy birthday! Also: the return of Borb!
Absolutely! Hard agree: every space should be working to create a culture where disabled people feel safe when having a flare, episode, or anything else! So important :) Also: thank yoooou!
Happy Birthday from Pittsburgh! 🤩😷👋
Me: Scooting chair all over stage and sitting in every rehearsal. "I live here now." Also, HAPPY BERFDAY!!!!!
lol truuuuuu :D Also, thank yooou!
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Eeee thank you!
At Savonlinna Opera Festival, I was a stunt double for one of the performers suffering from double vision due to brain damage. There was a scene where he and some others were going to do a parade walk in capes and masks, so he had no way to walk in sync with the rest of the group on that uneven medieval castle floor. There are all kinds of ways to make it work. Thank you for another informative and fun video. I have a little opera collective of my own now, and I hope we can at least take some of these improvements with us.
That's amazing - so excited to hear you may be able to use some of these! :) And that you were able to make it work for that other performer, too - it always turns out that there are ways to make it work, if people put their minds and hearts to it!
@@robinhahnsopran Openness about disabilities and willingness to work around them is the key. Last season at Svenska Teatern in Helsinki, we had a play all in Swedish sign language, audio narrated in Finnish, surtitles in Swedish and Finnish, the mute and blind had all their personal interpreters. In the lobby we had miniatures of the sets, and dolls wearing stage costumes, so the blind could touch and feel what everything looks like. Happiest theater guests ever 😊 ❤️
Happy Birthday from Sweden!! <3 I am an opera singer with HSD and this video couldn't have appeared at a more fitting time! Thanks so much for voicing this topic!. I am definitely interested in Opera Mariposa and would love to get in contact to discuss opera, disablity and accessability! If possible.
Thank you so much! Always happy to chat about opera and accessibility :)
Adorable air purifier! And Happy Birthday!!
Also BORB!!
Thank yooooou! :)
I’m definitely looking up that portable filter . I vend at art shows and nerd conventions and…..yeah, it’s a worry.
It's SO helpful! I have it next to me on airplanes, too! :)
Happy Birthday (as of upload date)! Here, have some sparkly emojis: 🎆🌠🎇And some tea for you and Jacqui: 🫖☕ And a bird for Borb: 🐦
Ahhhh, an embarrassment of emoji riches xD Thank you so, so much!
Hi friends! 💖IT'S MY BIRTHDAY so as a birthday present, please drop your favourite sparkly emoji in your comments! 🥰 And again: SO sorry about the audio! Also, remember: this is such an incomplete list! These are just some of the easiest, simplest, cheapest ones we could think of! A complete list would take an hour or more. Drop other ideas in the comments, too!
Long time no see.
Glad to be back! :)
Have you tried that opera ice cream truck idea yet?
Not yet! Still love it, though :P
@@robinhahnsopranIs this idea discussed in a video? Because I’m now dying of curiosity.
Cecilia Bartoli ❤
Very cute, humorous and interesting, just a bit too fast for my speakers set at maximum speed, if you mentioned Kirsten Flagstad, I missed it due to speed. ...(Just kidding). Thank you indeed, Robin. :-░
I was waiting for you to hit that cup of coffee or something to demonstrate squillo. Alas 😅
I studied voice at college and right before graduation discovered that i was most likely a coloratura mezzo soprano when studying some Rossini for my senior recital. However, except for a small summer program a few years later, that was the last I've sung classically in public. I was an older student, and often wish i would have discovered that this was my voice type much earlier in life. But, I still work on this repertoire from time to time for my own enjoyment.

Disculpen tu lenguaje
Well explained. Bravo!
All of them. Thanks for the video
I get that look. I am audhd, Dysautonomia, hsd, asthma,allergy, chronic high liver enzymes. I hate those ableist. That is why I also have ptsd.
Is Guano Apes singer is mezzo soprano or contralto? Am I understand right that there could be at least 3 categories of Bass-baritones: 1) Zwisch (mix between bass and baritone); 2) Bass that have ability to sing baritone range also; 3) Baritone that have ability to sing bass range also? Or all 3 categories would be just Zwisch?
this is so helpful, tysm for sharing your amazing process of learning recitativi!!! im gonna start my first opera role in 2 weeks and still haven't remember all of em :(
I have a bunch of rare, life-threatening medical problems, including needing an organ transplant, yet have an otherwise normal outward appearance. Unfortunately, not looking disabled has made me continue to fight the social security administration since my 20's - now, over 15 years to get disability benefits. The fact is that I want to work, but frequent hypoglycemic seizures prevent this and I am a licensed nurse // emt with multiple college degrees. Fortunately, my state expanded medicaid coverage and at least I don't have to worry about going broke over my life support drugs.
I'm a shy coloratura. It's so confusing and frustrating. Aaaaaaa. I do love just singing on sounds. Easier than actually articulating those pesky syllables.
Thank you, for me (an old guy) a little more diction, a little slower. Don't know if others feel that way--and by the way, you are lovely and thank you again.
I didn't realize coloratura was anything other than a soprano. Learn something new every day 😀
Can I send you a recording of something I did
What about like when a trumpet is doing the classic du dah du dahhh
thank you for this video!
Sorry, not sharing most of your definitions. Even if you mix the german fach with the most traditional Italian 19/20th century split.
I'm 27 and have been singing for exactly 20 years, but only a couple days ago I learned that I'm a spinto soprano. How interesting it is to learn more about it
Great Video Ms. Hahn and Ko! You're both trailblazers for accessibility in this industry.
largo al factotum is great because it's literally just figaro going "i'm so sexy and hot and everybody wants to fuck me". and he should flirt with the cavalieri as well. in this essay i will-- [i am shot]
oooooh you wanna do a video on tenor/bass voice types so bad influencing you with my mind powers
My speaking voice sits really low in my vocal range, so for a while I thought I was an alto (going by musical theatre voice types because that is what i know), and then I started taking voice lessons and nope I am a soprano.
Bruna Rasa was probably the most expressive verismo
As an EDS singer and piano player, I'm loving that I found your channel!
👏👏👏👏
So Coloratura Mezzos are sopranos right?
The greatest opera singers are the ones who defy classification. Sutherland and Callas could barely be categorized yet both could sang anything and everything better than anybody else. Vocally, Sutherland was probably the greatest of EVERY fach through difference phases of her career culminating in a Turandot that is probably the finest ever recorded. Price, largely regarded as the greatest spinto ever, is criticized for not really being a spinto at all. In the long run I don't think these categories help much but I'm not criticising the video. A role might surprisingly click with a singer who seemed to be a completely different kind of soprano. When I was a young singer (and I'm not a soprano) I would go to a new voice teacher who would tell me what a lovely baritone I had and as we vocalized for them to get a sense of my voice and they started to hear the turn over above F# and as I continued upward an octave above that every single one said "Jesus, you're a tenor. I would never have known from what the middle of your voice sounded like."
Very interesting, thank you! ❤
