- The talents of Il Pomo d'Oro, Maxim Emelyanychev, and singers Lisette Oropesa, Joyce DiDonato, Paul-Antoine Bénos-Djian, Michael Spyres, and John Chest renew Handel's splendid oratorio Theodora. Discover the recording here: w.lnk.to/theod...
First performed in 1750, Theodora tells the story of Christian martyrs in ancient Antioch under Roman occupation. Theodora was Handel’s penultimate major work, and he considered it among his best. Soprano Lisette Oropesa takes the role of the noble Theodora, while mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato portrays her friend Irene, a leading light of Antioch’s community of Christians; Didymus, a Roman soldier who loves Theodora, is sung by countertenor Paul-Antoine Bénos-Djian, and his friend Septimius by tenor Michael Spyres, while baritone John Chest holds sway as the authoritarian Roman governor Valens.

Like...do other opera singers sing like this today? The respect for the music is just...absolutely gorgeous...wow. She floors me.
Yes.but she's extraordinary. I like Handel arias very much because of the stories as well as the music. Not quite so enthusiasticabout 19th opera but Lisa is a superb Violetta ( la traviata ) and many 19th century heroines also
Yes they absolutely do
@@bulliwoody3674 great. Recommend some haha
@@ryan.engstromLea Desandre and Sabine Devieilhe would be my go-to. I really enjoy Julia Lezhneva for her coloratura. Ann Hallenberg and Joyce Didonato also clearly revere the baroque music they sing. Their scherza infida performances are astounding
@@stewart335 I was fortunate to just have seen Ms. Oropesa sing Cleopatra in Giulio Cesare at the Paris Opera. Her artistry, charisma/presence, and sheer commitment are astounding. I also saw Joyce in Agrippina! Lucky lucky. Love your other recommendations.
I have just listened to the CD recording of the entire opera and it seems to me the best of all the fine recordings of this oratorio--and the bar is really high here, given the stature of previous commercial recordings.
Thank you for the subtitle
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! Bravo!!!❤❤❤👋👋👋
It is Brava
Como é bom ouvir uma boa ópera!!!
Sou surdo.
Maravilloso!. Gracias por tu voz.
Absolutely stunning
che bellezza ...
Beautiful ❤
Got real goosebumps from watching this!
As a former employee at Warner Bros. , I have to reckon ur good taste into Music, if U ' ve catch her b4 DG or EMI
Lisette IS the New Callas.
TRUST ME, 30 y/ going to the Opera.
you are so right....................she is another phenomenon.......................have you heard her mother sing? .................she too is amazing but didn't perform
Sorry, but we don’t need new Callas! We have absolutely one and only Lisette Oropesa❤
Incredebly good soprano !
Magnifique interprétation de Lisette Oropesa car Handel ce n'est très difficile .....Tank you for sharing ....🥰
Tremendous 💎
damn!
👍❤
Opera is quite a compelling artform. It's a shame it has such an elitist and 'private school' aura about it. TL is about creating a society that is not based on these values.
needs more simplicity...
no "darkness deep" in her singing...
la version de sandrine me gusta mucho mas😅
Very good voice for 19th century music but not so for music of baroque era. Compare to delicate stile of Sabine Devieilhe or Lea Desandre (just two of many more magnificent baroque music interprets) and you‘ll know what l mean.
I wish people weren’t so narrow minded about baroque singing. Baroque singing does NOT alienate vibrato. Just because Lisette is ever so slightly heavier in her voice doesn’t mean she doesn’t do baroque work justice. All these people who’d have us solely listen to thin airy voices are missing out on so much and that’s coming from a major Lea and Sabine fan myself!
@@stewart335 Well, you are right! In the same way is allowed for a singer (comming from old music (Schütz, Purcell, Monteverdi… ) „lacking“ a carrying vibrato-voice to perform Wagner or Puccini Arias. Artists are free to do what ever they like. Could be an interesting Wagner „Ring“… for less narrow minded audience!🤤😜 You are right! The one who is able to sing a „Siegfried“ is able to perform any aria on the point as there is an Evangelist‘s in a Bach Passion… for more more open minded than me!😉 Quintessence: Any professional singer can perform anything in a appropriate way?
@@stewart335 Watch Lea Desandre & Iestyn Davies singing duett taken from „Theodora“ and then tell me that there something gets lost because of the singer’s „thin“ voice!
@@hugin70 i adore Lea, and I’d hardly say she has a thin voice. Not as heavy as Lisette’s but definitely has some weight to it
We get use to what pleases us. I try and stay opened minded. Early music was performed in stone buildings or small performance spaces. There was no need for creating huge voices. Anyway, just a thought. This is beautiful however.
A performance with a big echo!!
