What a wonderful performance, sensitive and touching. The whole representation was smashing, all the singers were excellent, the direction and the choir perfect, the staging very interesting with dazzling moments.
The voice is very sweet but it is minuscule. This is a Barbarina of Papagena or early music affected types of repertoire at best. The joke of all this undercasting is just absurd. She has to add extreme top notes in alt to put the song across because the audience can’t hear it. Weird career for people obsessed with their ear buds and whom never actually go to the theatre.
Oh, I didn`t know Devieilhe was critically acclaimed for her Barbarina...But yes, theatres could be closed, for all I care, and Devieilhe could have an even "weirder" career by less operatic waiving of the hands, and more Lieder-like sophistication in her singing. Less is more.
I was in the assistance and you’re totally wrong: the voice is not that small. Is the beautiful with a skilled technique. And she was perfectly audible. Edda Moser also added high notes in her 1979 Vitellia in Vienna. Does she also have a small voice?
@@guillaumegarcia-moreau8434thanks for your contribution. Always delectable when the arrogant and ignorant are taken down a notch. She compares favorably with multiple recorded Illias, including S Im for Rene Jacob’s.
@@sciagurrato1831 Ditto. All the negative criticisms are coming from jealous singers or teachers who disapprove because she is not using the 'correct' technique.
Why is a microphone soubrette/mezzo soprano singing Mozart's Illia? The orchestration is playing maximum piano, because I cannot hear the glorious and beautiful lines from it. I can't hear her singing over the orchestral pit either, and this is a recording with a lot of microphones on the stage. The master of belcanto sung by a completely incompetent, inadequate and unschooled meager voice. Why the embellishments!? Where is this written?! She cannot open her mouth and dares to embellish?!?!Wobble trillo, wobble singing, no support, tension… Plus, she is constantly off key! This is a total joke!
It totally is a joke. A LOT of singers have beautiful voices when they sing minuscule. However that is not the point. It has to be larger. Her talent is charming it’s just not enough for actual Opera beyond Lully operas maybe church music twiddles…or musical theatre where she has a microphone in her wig. I wonder if operetta might be too loud for her. It’s awful.
@@orion8835 I look at productions like this as ripoffs! People are paying their hard earned money to buy a ticket. They are making time changes in their schedule, so that they can go to the theater. Time that was wasted. Time, that they will never be able to get back. This makes me very angry, because the audience is giving their everything. Unlike the whole production cast, which is feeding them with atrocious singing, dreadful orchestration and lousy staging! The singer, Sabine, has got problems overpowering a normal fortepiano on mezza voce. This is by no means an operetta voice! With singing like this, she can work on Ockeghem, Du Fay, Des Prez, and other poliphony.
Oh, I didn`t know Mozart was a bel canto -composer, or that Sabine Devieilhe could not sing...Still, I would never go to the opera house to see the redundant theatrical stuff on stage (or worse, much worse). Regula Muhlemann has a Mozart concert on youtube, which is lovely, because one is able to avoid the theatre with the theatrical directors completely.
@@soavemusica I don't know if it makes sense to talk to someone who made a statement that he did not know the fact that Mozart was a bel canto master and that Regula Muhlemann is a good singer? I'll probably have more intellectual satisfaction talking about it with a goat that actually knows how to breathe properly and has proper vocal placement, something that neither Sabine nor Regula have.
@@guillaumegarcia-moreau8434 This is actually easier to hear than you think. When you've been in this business for 20 years, you hear absolutely everything, whether it's a recording or live. I guarantee you that Sabine squeals quieter than a mouse. Plus, she strains all her neck muscles and muscles around the mouth from the start, so she never developed the depth/technique of a true classical singer. The one who tightens always has a small voice. Anatomically, it is not possible otherwise. Look at how shallow her breath is. Shallow, shallow, shallow…

Can't imagine Mozart listening to his contemporary muses and righting this delicate arias with such ease.
Wunderschön!
Wunderbar!
Beautiful
Maravillosa!
