As a French person who didn't know the lyrics of this aria, I can say it's really easy to follow what she's saying even though she's not a native speaker and sings at the same time. Really impressive.
@@theresejohansen1675 Diana is the best soprano of its time! She will be remembered for her perfect queen of the night but every piece she sings is magnificent! She is one of the few to have mastered the art of singing to such a level! That's sad she is less active nowadays though...
I don't even speak French as a native language, and I understood more than half of what she was singing. Considering on a good day I get at only ~10% of French opera without subtitles, that's impressive.
Not only is she a brilliant singer, but a fantastic actress as well! She actually pays attention to the libretto and truly performs. I've never been a fan of this aria, but Diana can make anything sound good!
When I was a silly young soprano - meaning, I over- intellectualized everything and did not actually SING - I, like some of the others commenting here, thought this was a 'silly aria.' OK fast.forward four or five decades, and I have just been looking again at the music I learned in my youth. Now, this doesn't seem silly at all. It ain't Shakespeare, any more than John Cranko's ballet ROMEO AND JULIET is Shakespeare. But listen to the words! This is a damn fine little poem, a young girl's delight in her own youth and her awareness that it will end all too quickly with an arranged marriage. The music is fresh and delightful, very much of its period. It's an infectious entrance aria, beautifully presents the character of the young girl..And Damrau gives us all of this - with style and grace!
Damn I love opera so much. Especially female voices. When they reach high pitches, I feel goosebumps all over my body. Such powerful talent enough to touch the soul.
She sings EVERYTHING with insight and honesty. Even music I don't love, like this silly aria, comes off as a moment spent in the heart of a heroine. She is the best. The BEST!
I’ve listened to so many people singing this aria now and this is still my favorite! She seems so genuine and free and it’s wonderful to listen to and watch!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Diana is a pleasure to watch - a great actress as well as a phenomenal coloratura. Right before this video, I saw her sing "Exsultate Jubilate" - magnificent. And you must see her performance of the Queen of the Night aria (#2) from The Magic Flute. Her voice is just that always….magic.
Diana Damrau a cette incroyable intelligence d'avoir compris qu'il fallait qu'elle se rapetisse pour atteindre l'universel. Elle n'est plus Diana Damrau sur scène, elle devient un moyen de transmission du divin sur Terre. Elle est au service de l’œuvre, et non l'inverse.
@@MadMusician [Si seulement, cela pouvait refléter la vérité. Elle est irréprochable sur sa technique vocale, mais elle ne se distingue en aucune manière des autres interprètes.] Ce que vous écrivez est tout à fait compréhensible, bien qu'assez mal formulé pour un français... ;)
Ah! Je veux vivre Dans ce rêve qui m'enivre; Ce jour encore, Douce flamme, Je te garde dans mon âme Comme un trésor! Cette ivresse De jeunesse Ne dure, hélas! qu'un jour! Puis vient l'heure Où l'on pleure, Le cœur cède à l'amour, Et le bonheur fuit sans retour. Je veux vivre, etc Loin de l'hiver morose Laisse-moi sommeiller Et respirer la rose Avant de l'effeuiller. Ah! Douce flamme, Reste dans mon âme Comme un doux trésor Longtemps encore!
Kudos to the little girl for attempting this at a young age but at the same time, it made me wonder whether they gave her the buzzer because she was young and sung something which they were just fascinated by and not with regards to how she sung it
The adults that let kids do things like this and then send them out to a talent show should be ashamed for themselves. Not just because children have no business singing repertoire like this but I hate seeing those kids being taken advantage of for money and notoriety. Talk about living vicariously through your children.
One of the few singer alive who can bring beauty and style to the same old aria. I wish for more singers like her. If we had good sets and artistic directors in the Opera houses ill be in heave.
Fantástica, que bueno que por lo menos una vez cada 50 años surge alguien como ella!!!, asi no nos aburrimos de escuchar ópera desde un nuevo punto de vista. Espero algun día poder escucharla en vivo. Gracias por subir este video quien quiera que haya sido. Arturo Martin
Diana has breathed life into this "chestnut"!! She is so gifted in both voice and acting ability.. It's always a pleasure to watch and listen; when so many times I will close my eyes and listen to singers in either concert or opera. Keep up the good work and thanks for posting this vid!
ici, Diana a réussi là où beaucoup ont échoué. elle a pu recréer les émotions d'une jeune adolescente amoureuse dans son iterprétation alors que d'autres, à l'instar de Flemming ou même de Dessay, misaient sur la technique. Cette interprétation est très réaliste à mon goût. Bravo, Damrau! J''espère que je pourrai un jour atteindre cette qualité d'interprétation!
She's very good! She looks brilliant and quite convincing, but I have never seen anyone singing this piece as Leontina Vaduva. She's my favorite Juliette.What a voice! But Diana Damrau remindes me Vaduva here, and I like them too. Very expressive!
Maravillosa voz y una gran capacidad actoral. Verdaderamente ésta es UNA DIVA DE LA LÍRICA. Gracias, neveratime, por compartir este invalorable video. Un saludo cordial desde Argentina.
Magnifique. Diana Damrau, soy s Tu admiradora quisiera tener el 10% de tu potente voz y manejo de diafragma, dominio escénico y respiracion. Tu vocalizacion es perfecta y tus ataques me dejan en un wow!
Wir Moskauer waren gestern abend zu viert im moskauer Kinohaus bei der direkten Met-Translation von Romeo und Julia! Die Vostellung selbst wie auch Diana und Vittorio ist Spitze!! Großartig und empfehlenswürdig!! Bravoooo!! Класс!!! :))
This is absolutely fantastic!! Brava Diana! A poof, that this aria doesn't need an "acrobatic" show-off (unfortunately very common among young singers nowadays) in order to be great.
I normally do not listen to Opera. I appreciate it so much to listen to the voice of Gods gift to this wonderful talented beyond all. She is a joy to listen to I am at work and replay her arais numerous times.....
A truly amazing performance of this wonderful song. It brought something extra, and it had power, femininity, grace and legato lyricism, as well as of course wonderful high notes. Brought the language (in this case, French) to life. Bravo, Diana!
I've really been studying sopranos lately and, for all the fuss over Callas, I have to ay that I just don;t care for her voice, the quality of the voice itself. It is not an insult to her performance, her interpretation, her agility, or anything like that. But it is just too thin and brittle for my tastes. But maybe I just love big, fat, rich sounds, like this one! Although I do really adore Natalie Dessay, I just can't get over the fact that, for my tastes, Damrau is really tops. There is just something about the way she inhabits each character, the joy you can see and feel in her performances, or the anguish of the character in tragic circumstances.We all have our own tastes, but for me, I still prefer Damrau's performances. And no matter what anyone says, I love her acting! She is so committed to her roles. Fantastique!
Maria Callas has what I would call an "ugly" timbre. She had a very heavy voice and dark voice color. I understand people who don't really like her, I get it. But her voice was far from thin. It is richer, bigger, and fuller than most opera sopranos, and yes I am including all voice fach.
Damrau is a star of extraordinary talent. Sadly, I cannot think of a French singer who can match her at this time. Dessay is semi retired, Petibon does not have what it takes. Jaroussky is a countertenor. Sabine perhaps someday ?

I can't tell you how much I agree with you. Her diction is...FLAWLESS.
Diana is amazing! check out her queen of the night..

She's German FYI.

Not only did she sung it like she spoke french natively, she also sung it like she truly felt what she said, which makes it even more impressive...
impressive as hell. she's incredible.
Agree✨…
펜트하우스에 주석경이 부른거다!!
Ju Seok Kyung sang this in Penthouse!!
Not only is she a brilliant singer, but a fantastic actress as well! She actually pays attention to the libretto and truly performs. I've never been a fan of this aria, but Diana can make anything sound good!
good morning
LittleLotteWanders Agreed, such charisma!
Певица с своим особым подходом и индивидуальностью
Oh my, how can you not be a fun of this aria, such beautiful melody and so much room to act it, hmmm
Absolutely!
Here after watching the penthouse seokyung performance
Here after the sbs catch interview of seokkyung hehe
Same here 😂
Same here jajaja
the emotions in her face ... wow ... I am speechless
What? I heard an interview with her, and she's the most soft-spoken, sweet person ever. Not at all diva! She's just a great dramatic actress.
Amazing 12 years old

I came after watching Victory Brinker do an AWESOME JOB singing this song. Victory Brinker is going to be a SUPER STAR!!!!
Damn I love opera so much. Especially female voices. When they reach high pitches, I feel goosebumps all over my body. Such powerful talent enough to touch the soul.
Finally someone!😂 I'm glad i'm not alone with this kind of taste
She sings EVERYTHING with insight and honesty. Even music I don't love, like this silly aria, comes off as a moment spent in the heart of a heroine. She is the best. The BEST!
She makes me feel everything that she sings, even music i don't like just like you. She is superb! ♥

Seul si loin c'erait vrai. Elle est parfaite en genérale avec les methodes vocale, mais elle est pas mieux que tout le monde.
Aussi, ma langue native est Anglais. Bonjour, et j'espére mon français est bon.

Ah!
Je veux vivre
Dans ce rêve qui m'enivre;
Ce jour encore,
Douce flamme,
Je te garde dans mon âme
Comme un trésor!
Cette ivresse
De jeunesse
Ne dure, hélas! qu'un jour!
Puis vient l'heure
Où l'on pleure,
Le cœur cède à l'amour,
Et le bonheur fuit sans retour.
Je veux vivre, etc
Loin de l'hiver morose
Laisse-moi sommeiller
Et respirer la rose
Avant de l'effeuiller.
Ah!
Douce flamme,
Reste dans mon âme
Comme un doux trésor
Longtemps encore!
looking for this after watching Penthouse season 1 and 2 😳🤤 im now obsessed to opera songs!!!!!!'
Same!!
Season 3 to9
Wow! Perfect diction wow wow the pronunciation is unbelievable
Yeah, definitely the first good thing I notice as well.
Because she was french?
@@lanjinling-wuqian Diana is German
She’s fabulous
She is just in my humble opinion, the best!
Who are here after watching Victory Brinker in AGT? ✋
Who came here after wathing penthouses. Yess, especially after joo seok kyeong performance 😁
Best interpretation that I have ever listen to.
hands down -- this is the BEST rendition of this aria on you tube. she has amazing spin, control, expression....just perfect.
The difference between this performance and the AGT one is palpable.
Kudos to the little girl for attempting this at a young age but at the same time, it made me wonder whether they gave her the buzzer because she was young and sung something which they were just fascinated by and not with regards to how she sung it
I feel like with lots of training and practice that little girl could get to Diana Damrau level of talent. She was truly born with a gift!
Well what did u expect from a little girl like her ?

I adore all the gestures and facial expressions she does while singing!
All together it makes me feel happy :D
この人は歌手でも演技者でもなく、楽曲やそれらが織りなすドラマの主旋律や主題そのものに成れる人なのでしょうね。
She really acts this aria. She is perfection
joo seok kyung is the best🥳
Le capacita' interpretative della Damrau sono superlative
She smiles with her eyes.. lovely!!! 😍😍😍
THIS IS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL. SAY NO MORE
the queen has blessed us yet again!

Quelle pureté, quelle facilité, quelle belle voix!
she is perfect in every way ! One of the best interpretations ever heard and seen !
She is amazing, this is medicine for the soul, my friends. Seriously helps me hold down anxiety attacks. Hope it helps someone else too.
She's very good! She looks brilliant and quite convincing, but I have never seen anyone singing this piece as Leontina Vaduva. She's my favorite Juliette.What a voice! But Diana Damrau remindes me Vaduva here, and I like them too. Very expressive!

Bravo, Bravo
No doubt Diana is one of the top signer,if not the best, today.
WOW! I'm completely in love with her interpretation!
Ich liebe dich Diana Damrau, Everything is beautiful possibly my favorite Co;oratura of the present time.
What a tremendous and legit artist she is. Bravo!
Her voice is like a diamond that cut through them all
One word to discribe her: DIVINE!!! DIVINA!
Brilliant, fantastic, perfect
It's very good, such a voice! Plus, she has a great french accent :)
Oh my gosh, her dress is adorable!!! :D
I never heard a greater soprano in my life than her 🌹

I have to agree, technicaly Callas can rarely be faulted, but I too find her too cold for my ears. Matter of taste I think.
I always liked Lucia Popp’s voice.
Wow... with your perception, I would say.... you need to keep "studying sopranos!"
Absolutely amazing, Bravo Damrau!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It brought me to tears. Diana is the love of my life!
Damrau is a star of extraordinary talent. Sadly, I cannot think of a French singer who can match her at this time. Dessay is semi retired, Petibon does not have what it takes. Jaroussky is a countertenor. Sabine perhaps someday ?
Like Venus rising from the waves. Totally beautiful and wonderfully sung.
She is wonderful!
Beautiful... what ana agility and care for the words!
