      One warning I discovered- I'm a mezzo soprano and we're not 'allowed' to modify the key when singing an aria from an operas. It's infuriating! There are arias that are simply off limits? Even outside of the opera itself? Apparently so!

    I admire you for mentioning the importance of pronunciation at the very first.
    "O Mio Babbino Caro" is my most favourite opera song but I sometimes get a little irritated when hearing non-natives sing the song with many mistakes in pronunciations especially,... rolling tongue when flat "L" needs to be pronounced, or omitting all the rolls.(I am not native speaker of Italian but I used to live in Italy and became really familiar with Italian pronunciations.)
    I think it is so important work on pronunciations to achieve better diction, to show respect to the language the song was written, to emphathize with the song to the maximum extent, etc.

    Very Beautiful soprano voice you have! I had troubles with this Aria because I had a underdeveloped chest voice and I am a very light soprano. You gave a very helpful advice about the chest voice!
    One thing that worked for me is the "laugh" sensation (not smiling, just inner sensation) in the lowest range to avoid lowering the larynx too much and keeping the chiaroscuro .

It teaches technique, how the voice functions, how to work with young voices and develop the voices of singing students. Oren Brown's Discover your voice is just incredibly full of all things related to healthy singing and a how to kickstart your singing career.

    It would be better to say that the Arno flows through Florence because in the aria, Lauretta mentions she wants to go to Porta Rossa to buy the ring and if Babbino does not consent she wants to jump off Ponte Vecchio - both Porta Rossa and Ponte Vecchio are in Florence.

    This is my first time listening to a video by this young lady. I've just begun to listen to it because I'd like to encourage a young Chinese girl to learn to sing an aria from an opera and I was looking at this one. In her introductory words, Freya mentions that the young lady she's singing about is going to Pisa. In the real opera I believe she's going to Florence as she mentions that she's going to buy a ring there at the jewelry stores located on the bridge. Then she says that if her father doesn't let her be with her new love, she's going to throw herself off the Ponte Vecchio into the river. The Ponte Vecchio is in Florence, not Pisa. I just wanted to point this out. It in no way reflects on this marvelous video. The best to all of you.

    please do more. I am subscribed. Los of arias out there that are beautiful. I have tried exercises but they don't seem to work. I find the best way to get my voice going is just singing stuff like this. Can't figure that out, but it seems to be motivation to make something beautiful. This is a great aria because you can really make it very emotional and be very creative, like you're a teen girl, about to die if you can't marry the guy. Of course 5 years later and 3 kids they want to kill one another every day, but that's a whole other opera. wait, they don't write operas about that now, do they? ah, an entire niche open to lyricists. haha
