The Japanese guy at the end has 'one of those voices' ... Like Placido himself!! Oh what joy to come across another voice like that!! BRAVO .. What is that young mans' name I would love to listen to him sign!
Thank you so much! IMHO those few notes from the ending have so much drama that I had to listen to the whole aria. I can't understand Italian, though, but I can sense the intense emotion of the song. I found one by Pavarotti and another by Domingo and both sure are breathtaking. How come no one performs the opera?
Yes, it surprises me that Domingo should allow a soprano (lyric soprano) to sing this difficult mezzo aria. But this takes nothing away to the fact that he is an excellent teacher, and he told her that she, as a lyric soprano, is unable to do all that long legato phrases.
When I heard this, i thought ... "why aren't I there singing this"????? The Dalilah just doesn't sound correct, her voice is lyric soprano and this is a serious, MEZZO role. I'm currently moving up from Mezzo to Sop and this is one of the roles I really CANNOT sing now.....
l'Arlesiana has some wonderful music but its plot is a problem. There is another wonderful aria for baritone in the first scene. It has been recorded a few times. Alas this big sweeping melody is about a dream of a fight between a wolf and a goat (the goat loses).
I know! it gets on my nerves so much! but a lot of sopranos do it...specially where I live (Mexico) there aren´t many of us mezzos here and sopranos ALWAYS insist in taking repertoire that is not theirs... I don´t know exactly why, but I consider it disrespectful to the music itself. Mezzo roles were written that way because the composer had something really specific in mind and I think it should be met that way, don´t you?
I know you asked this question many years ago, but just in case, the name of the aria is "M'appari, Tutt' Amor" (the original in German is "Ach! so fromm, ach! so traut"), from the opera "Martha" by Friedrich von Flotow.
@bravazingara Absolutely not. To think that the artist was so close-minded to think only a certain kind of voice could sing a song is bogus. I'm sure that the composer not only had one interpretation in mind, but hundereds, and furthermore would love to see the life so many artists could bring to the piece. Remember, composers are artists, not machines. They most likely would like other artists to join themselves with their work, not watch machines make replicas.
Joe The first guy is a baritone, just not a very good one. In fact all these singers are pretty bad. In his other Master classes he has better material to work with.
Excellent, caring, knowledgeable teacher. Love always, Dr. Dan
Qué lindo como estos estudiantes tuvieron la oportunidad de ser instruidos por el maestro 💕🙌🏼
By the power of Greyskull and all that is holy and sacred, how and WHY did Plácido Domingo ever come to be in Northampton?! Surreal.

Sin ser el compositor de ópera más dotado, Saint-Saens escribió el aria más hermosa para soprano "Mon coeur s'ouvre a ya voix", a mi parecer

@ChaudeB Yeah! I want him as my teacher!
What's the lovely aria at 4:46? Please help!
The italian rendition is called "M'appari tutt'amor"
The original piece, in German, is called "Ach So Fromm"
i agree too, that's a bit of a loss there...
