I saw this too via satellite theatre live! Very privileged especially with hearing with digital aids. Truly blessed to hear those high C's. Such a thrilling moment(s)!
@@filipszyga7394 Stefan Vinke who sang Siegfried in the recent MET Ring is the strongest Wagnerian tenor I've ever heard; I didn't think I would hear such a voice in my lifetime. I hope his voice lasts!
He is a brilliant singer, but he also carries himself with such a great energy. It’s the combination makes him so special to me. So pleeease dear MET let Javier sing more often on Met in Cinemas 🙏 Love from Germany 💜
@@moniqueallan I liked him and her and the whole production so much on Saturday night that I went back on Monday night! (Got a standing place for £11, perfect view).
Javier sounded even better in the encore than he sounded earlier, and that's saying something. He knocks these gigantic notes out like it's nothing! And that salute is so cute too
Though "by audience demand" is really pushing it since the announcers were openly talking about the possibility of this encore before the curtain opened
The first mes amis warmed him up and extended his vocal chords and that is why the encore is more fluid and dynamic. I am not a music teacher but have had three years of voice lessons: note how he opens his mouth wide, lowers his jaw, watches his tongue placement and willfully produces the vibrant "eh" sound--it is something that must be practiced. Mentally, he knows he has to climb the summit and be right over that note to make the C. He knows how to fully support it with his breath and diaphragm..
@SHICOFF1 I don't know much about opera, but I do know something about love of music. Maybe part of the look on his face is the part he is singing, but he sure looks like he's in love with it all. That's half the battle, isn't it?
The encore is even better and higher! ...wow.... I love his facial expressions too, he makes a very adorable and cute Toni he adds a different personality to the character... like childlike... like an adult full of hope.... he has personality
The next time this production comes back to the Met, we need to have him come back. He’s extraordinary. Very few singers get that kind of approval from an audience.
We are so lucky to live in these times of amazingly gifted tenors! (Despite Coranavirus keeping us away from the opera houses... I can't wait to get back to see live performances) I've seen Juan Diego Florez at the ROH and the Met and I can't wait to see Javier live!! So exciting! How lucky are we to have TWO extraordinary Tonios.. Maybe three.. Lawrence Brownlee)
I was there! I was effen there! And the moment he began the aria an electric thrill went through me. I knew that I was witness to a bit of magic on stage. I hope to hear him sing this again in March as I just got tickets for his L.A. recital. I better bring tissues for the tears of joy!
In Australia the highest praise we can give for this sort of performance is - YOU LITTLE BEAUTY! Javier deserves YOU LITTLE BEAUTY! - Repeated nine times.
He is amazing. I love when they pair him with Pretty Yende. And the conductor Enrique Mazzola loves singers and supports the singers; some conductors at the Met make the singers an afterthought.
He had an incredible run at the Met with the Fille, Seven presentations, seven encores, in the last one I was at the Met, and in his encore he not only did 9 High Cs he did 11 High Cs, probably the best interpretation of this aria at the Met ever
Javier was so amazing and it was relaxing to hear how easy it was for him. Second act the director forced him to kneel when he should have been standing for the end of his aria. I wish directors and designers would stop interfering with singers who should be telling them how they want to portray their characters.
Montreal born Yannick Nézet-Séguin conductor (and now The Metropolitan Opera's new Artistic Director) listens to and collaborates with his singers...often deferring to their judgment...example, his collaboration with Diana Damrau's Violetta (La Traviata).

He regresado a este video cada semana desde que lo publicaron, que expresividad, la voz absolutamente limpia, los agudos perfectamente colocados, no puedo dejar de admirarle, en hora buena, felicidades al gran tenor Javier Camarena, que siga el gran trabajo y crecimiento
Dos visitas en el Metropólitan con la hija del regimiento y la Cenicienta y un vistazo en el liceo muy pocos han hecho eso ,grande Camarena el mejor tenor del momento
I remember listening to this performance and was blown away by the encore.I had only heard one other encore in my entire life and that was one month after 9/11.A performance of Nabucco.Chorus of the Hebrew slaves.When the audience demanded an encore and got it,I burst into tears.
In all my (many) opera attendances I've only seen one encore, and it was a chorus performance (Nebucco). I've never seen an individual do an encore, let alone such a difficult aria. BRAVO!
I first heard of Sr. Camarena in a Spanish-language podcast on Duolingo.com Early on, his mother urged him not to pursue musical studies; she feared he'd end up sweeping streets. He is magnificent.
I was in the audience. First time I ever saw a standing ovation for an aria at the Met. Sent chills down my spine.
I'm jealous!!!!
I saw this too via satellite theatre live! Very privileged especially with hearing with digital aids. Truly blessed to hear those high C's. Such a thrilling moment(s)!
I was in the audience as well for only my 3rd opera. This performance not only converted me to a guild member, it changed my life
My most beautiful memory at the opera, i was there with my mom and I will remember that moment forever. Thank you Signor Camarena.
AT LAST! Have we just witnessed a throwback to the last golden era of Tenors? Please bring him back to the Met! More please!
I saw this at the Met a few weeks ago... I got goosebumps. I am looking forward to seeing him in other productions in the future.
That is really a trowback but just as far as lyric and leggero tenors are concerned. I look forward for dramatic tenors trowback.
What is golden era of tenors?
Monnarch Monnarchy it’s like an era or gold but with tenors 😂

Love from Germany 💜
I was there that night, I don't think the crowd would have let the performance move on without the encore. Camarena is pure bliss.
He made Pavarotti so proud of him, Pavarotti is smiling in heaven with pride.
Thanks Duolingo for bringing me here. Such an outstanding tenor!
Just saw Javier on stage here, the same encore at the Royal Opera House, absolutely flawless performance, we could not stop applauding, bravo!!!
We also went to this show :) It was great, wasn't it? :)
sabrinalian1123 - saw him last night. What a joy.
@@moniqueallan I liked him and her and the whole production so much on Saturday night that I went back on Monday night! (Got a standing place for £11, perfect view).
The problem for contemporary opera singers it's so easy for anyone compare on YT and see the oldies runs over modern singers like this Javier.

Oh how Donizetti would pride and smile at this. The sublime realisation of one of his finest creations.
I listened to this live on the broadcast, and there was never any doubt he would hit all the Cs.
@SHICOFF1 I don't know much about opera, but I do know something about love of music. Maybe part of the look on his face is the part he is singing, but he sure looks like he's in love with it all. That's half the battle, isn't it?
I’m crying to see this. Maestro thank you ❤️ viva Mexico!!!!.
The encore is even better and higher! ...wow.... I love his facial expressions too, he makes a very adorable and cute Toni
he adds a different personality to the character... like childlike... like an adult full of hope.... he has personality
saw him today live at the movies and he’s such a sweetheart! Tonio and him are one and he was simply amazing!
ALL DAY LONG!!! Feel blessed to be alive to see this history. And yes, the encore was even better!! Bravissimo!!! x 2!!!
The next time this production comes back to the Met, we need to have him come back. He’s extraordinary. Very few singers get that kind of approval from an audience.
The greatest! Bravissimo! ¡Javier Camarena! Congratulaciones! You did it again! Proudly Mexican!
Just went to see this Opera and Camarena is just fantastic.
Saw him last night in the Metropolitan HD transmission here in Greece. Phenomenal!! The encore was fully justified.
We are so lucky to live in these times of amazingly gifted tenors! (Despite Coranavirus keeping us away from the opera houses... I can't wait to get back to see live performances) I've seen Juan Diego Florez at the ROH and the Met and I can't wait to see Javier live!! So exciting!

Que hermoso, felicidades, grande Javier Camarena, ¡tu voz lo llena todo! Viva México 🇲🇽
What a ring to the voice! Bravo 👏
I just got back from this. pretty phenomenal 😍😍👏👏👏👏
I was there! I was effen there! And the moment he began the aria an electric thrill went through me. I knew that I was witness to a bit of magic on stage. I hope to hear him sing this again in March as I just got tickets for his L.A. recital. I better bring tissues for the tears of joy!
Bravos bravos MAESTRO chapeaux cet opéra vous va bien malgrés ces difficultés 👍💙😍🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Wonderful performance yesterday, Javier Camarena is really exceptional in this role !
At the Met? Which role?
@@Gabofeles In the role of Tonio

@Athanasius Pernath you are right, he's great.
From Mexico 🇲🇽 with love

He is amazing. I love when they pair him with Pretty Yende. And the conductor Enrique Mazzola loves singers and supports the singers; some conductors at the Met make the singers an afterthought.
His voice is so smooth! I love it.

He really relishes those high notes, his voice is so clear.
Can't wait to see it live on saturday !
Perfect. Watched the opera for the fifth time and getting better with Javier
Bravisimo javier Camarena. Magnífica voz y excelente interpretación.
I'm new to opera, and "teaching myself". This gave me Goose bumps!!
Javier was so amazing and it was relaxing to hear how easy it was for him. Second act the director forced him to kneel when he should have been standing for the end of his aria.

Omg! He's voice is like cream... What beautiful timbre (it's superfluous to talk about his extroordinary technical habilitation ... Just wow WOW!!)
he is incredible !!!! CHAPEAU, Javier !!!
He's simply fantastic. It was outstanding singing.
Bravo Javier!!!!
Bravo, Tonio!
Thank you, maestro Camarena!
As Anthony Tommasini wrote in the NYT, "18 high C s for the price of 9"!
Riddle me this: How much longer do you think it’ll be before everyone’s going to want 27 HIGH C’S?

Он спел лучше,чем величайшие исполнители..надеюсь,я не один так считаю.
Underrated voice, great leggero
브라보 최고입니다 팬이 되었습니다.
amazing!!!!!!!!
I first heard of Sr. Camarena in a Spanish-language podcast on Duolingo.com Early on, his mother urged him not to pursue musical studies; she feared he'd end up sweeping streets. He is magnificent.
Bravo!!!!!!!!! I believe some of the "bravo" came from me in the theater :P
Lucky you!!
el mejor sin duda!!!
