American soprano Rachel Willis-Sørensen is known for her diverse repertoire ranging from Mozart to Wagner. A regular guest at the leading opera houses around the world, Le Monde enthused, “…the American soprano has without a doubt one of the most impressive voices in the opera world. The timbre, of marmoreal beauty, is striking, the projection telluric…”
Ms. Willis-Sørensen opens the 2020/21 season at Opéra national de Bordeaux with her role debut as Violetta in La Traviata, followed by her house debut at the Gran Teatre del Liceu as Leonora in Il Trovatore. At the Deutsche Oper Berlin, she sings Elsa in Wagner’s Lohengrin, and makes her debut as Elisabeth in Verdi’s Don Carlo. In November and December, she sings Mimi in La Bohème opposite Jonas Kaufmann and Rosalinda in Die Fledermaus at the Bayerische Staatsoper.

The Return of "The Big Girl Voices" is underway. The richness, flexibility, and expressiveness from bottom to top. The technical facility. The dramatic sensibility. We love to see and hear it! Oh Rachel, you are the Real Deal!
Hearing such a warm and colorful voice in this aria reminds me so much of one of my very favorite Violetta's, Anna Moffo. This is just gorgeous and authentic singing and what an immaculate technique!
Is it me or I hear a bit of Renee Fleming in her voice? (no offense btw) This version is just so amazing. The voice is full even on the top notes. This reminds me of the past sopranos who have full voices, love it so much. Glad I discover you by accident.
Hello Daniel! It is an honor to be compared to Renee, and a compliment that I get somewhat often.
I came here from the Wiener Blut video thinking the same thing. You got that lovely honeyed lyricism going on.
But really, despite the Fleming comparisons, your voice is more yours than anything else. 😉 Hopped around on RUclips a bit: You're one of the most ideal Donna Annas I've ever heard. And your Trovatore Leonora is absolutely thrilling. 👏🏻
And a bit of Carol Vaness. She is so smart singing this repertoire right now. She will give us years of beautiful bel canto! If I could, I would make my first trip to France, just to hear her live! It makes me want to get a vaccine now! I am now a Rachel W-S fanboy!
Yeeeesss!! I hear a lot of Renée in Rachel too! 😍
i might be an amateur but i know greatness when i hear it!
This is a gorgeous example that a well supported voice with its natural color should be flexible enough to execute clean runs. Fabulous!
Pure perfection. Your voice is not only beautiful but your diction and your interpretation are just delicious. I can listen to this audio every day 🥰🥰🥰
Absolutely divine, ive waited for this recording for far too long ! You are my rolemodel, divina ! Your traviata is amazing, brava !!!! I rly think yours can compete with Callas 😍 this is the big league right there
Wow, thank you!
Luckily she’s not trying to compete and I find her to be even better on this than some of our said legends and just nice to hear a voice stay connected from top to bottom without noticeable breaks which our lovely callas had . She was a lovely artist in her time but many have surpassed her and even she knew that.
I really love your voice!!!!! What a gift for my ears!!!!
No one sings this aria this well! No one!
Thank you so much! I love Verdi!
It is hard to heard this type of voice for this role,I love this!
Your voice was made for Verdi! Stunning!
Thank you! Verdi is amazing!
Yes 👏🏽 ma’am 👏🏽- God I can’t imagine what this is like IN PERSON. Aaahhhhhh THE FORMANTS in your FAAAAAACE!!! ❤❤❤❤
This is DREAM singing! Wow. What joy to hear artistry and machinery working so well together. Fabulous!
One of the most outstanding soprano of the XXI century. I truly admire you and listen to every note you make! So special 😍
Such a beautiful voice… I’m very very disappointed. She didn’t punch the high note at the end of.Sempra libra 😢
Superb! I agree with all the praise already expressed. I was fortunate enough to hear your impassioned account of Violetta when BBC Radio 3 broadcast the riveting performance of Traviata from Bordeaux this week. It's on the BBC website for four weeks. Such was the conviction which you - and your colleagues- invested in your role, I felt as if I was present in the opera house. Thank you!
Brava, brava, BRAVISSIMA!! I wish I could have seen and heard it live!
Congrats on saying no to Senta! Listening to this you really made the right decision. I hope you get more Verdi in the future because your voice sounds perfect for it! It could be so easy to compare you to Cheryl Studer and Renee Fleming but in all honesty you sound so identifiably yourself that the comparison would be ridiculous. Such a remarkable artist! Well done.
🧡⚘⚘⚘⚘Grazie.... che emozione. BRAVISSIMA
My goodness! What a magnificent singer you really are. This is fantastic. ❤
Creamy voice! Very pleasant round sound
Thank you! I love Verdi!
Bravissima! Fantastic legato line, and the coloratura is like a strand of pearls!

Yes, I hope that we can make that happen in the near future!
Loved it! It remembered me so much memories! =D Had the chance to see you with Benjamin Bernheim in Bordeaux last september and it was astonishing! :) Thank you so much for bringing this to us and good luck for the future! La Traviata remains one of my favorite operas and your interpretation was awesome ;)
