Dear Stephen The Covent Garden clip was posted to me - it is so beautiful. I have shown it serveral times to my wife who is in care with dementia and she comes alive at this wonderful duet. Thank you so much from us both. Bob Stark
That is amazing. My Mum had dementia and I'm sure she would have loved this. The sincerity and warmth in the performance is powerful and music crosses many boundaries, even dementia. So glad it touched your wife too.
I have no musical training and am not blessed with any artistic talent, but...I just listened to Celinde perform this with Michael Xavier and I am now convinced this performance here is inspired on the parts of both artists. This impromptu performance is simply magical and so much more than what we might see on the stage. This is what it means to discover beauty in the world.
He is! All the world's a stage said some clever geezer, and wow! Stephen has certainly made the world his stage and I am entranced, as I can see so many others are and so many more will be as his fame spreads. 💗🌍💗
Why are you not in Boston. You are Irish and we would have you on stage in no time at all. In the interim, may the world see this video and enjoy it as have we.....with tears streaming. What a duet and you response was so classically innocent.
This is the coolest thing ever. To have a star be like “hey, that was really good, let’s sing together.” What a sweet reaction to her singing, followed by both absolutely crushing it! ❤️
This was just posted on twitter by an account I follow and I’m sitting here on my couch literally balling my eyes out. So incredibly moving and so much of what I needed in my life right now for soooo many reasons. Thank you thank you thank you from Colorado, USA. 🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧
Same. When they united for the finish & jumped that octave together, tears just sprang from my eyes. Once again, I am humbled & dazzled by music's power.
Came across this in a tweet. I can’t stop listening and tearing up. It is so beautiful - the music, the voices, the thrill of discovery, the unexpected. I am enthralled.
As Phantom closes on Broadway after nearly 14k performances, each viewing of this video of Stephen and Celinde is a magical to me as the first time I saw it.
What a beautiful moment Stephen!! I’ ve replayed it for hours. We would love to know if it singing with Celinde changed your life and boosted your career. Blessings from Perú.
Celinde is such a classy, down to earth Lady. And you both sang like Angels! This is my All Time Favorite Song! Heartwarming!❤❤❤ Sending love and light from the Philippines!
Every now and then life gives us a pleasant surprise - what a spontaneous moment here. Absolutely epic performance from both of them. It says a lot about Celinde that she would stop and perform like this - I also love how she is so encouraging and enthusiastic. A beautiful lady in every way.
I will just add that I have seen Phantom of The Opera in London, LA and NYC, I have also heard many many different set ups under optimal conditions in recording studios, with perfect acoustics etc; but I've never seen a better or more memorable version than this one - I literally listen to it every day since I discovered it. I've compared it to different cast recordings, and none come close. This was recorded on a camera phone (albeit a good quality sound reproducer) - the quality is insane. The young man singing is equally capable of matching the magical and incomparable Celinde - the chemistry and flawless integration is on a whole other level. Bearing in mind she just walked up and offered to sing with Mr Barry - there was no rehearsal, just a flawless rendition that will live long in the memory of anyone who sees this.
I have listened to you both for three days in a row as I only just had this sent by a friend. You both are in harmony & really Andrew Lloyd Webber should find something for you both to sing together. You are magical Stephen Barry, don’t ever waste your talent, you brought me to tears. okay
I know this actually happened 6 years ago, by today’s date, but for me it just happened right now, in this moment. This duet is absolutely inspired, on some other level that defies the sense; straight to my soul. Stephen and Celinde are both unspeakably talented…their ability to perform on this level, impromptu, defies the norms of human capability. I’ve been blessed!
OMG, this made hair stand up on my arms, they sound MAGICAL together! Sharing this one far and wide! Awesome, beautiful!!! Stephen you should totally be cast as the next Raoul!!!!
This is without a doubt the BEST video on youtube. I have seen this and the one posted from the beginning hundreds of times and there is always a smile on my face. I am a musician myself and the talent in this video and the feeling between the two of you, from being strangers to the love that radiates as you do this song...it's just bone chilling! Thanks so much for doing this! I have put it on Facebook so many times! Stephen, you are incredible!
Absolutely beautiful. What a very talented young man, he looks so overjoyed that she actually sang with him and that he was singing with a west end star. I can't believe how many people walked by without looking or stopping. Good luck hope to see you in lights one day x
What a moment to remember in Anyone's life, you have a fantastic voice Stephen, and I know that Celinde does this professionally as a living, but all of her training has been for moments like this imo, it's off the record, unpaid for, raw & in your face, you'll never be appreciated more when you do something for nothing. Good luck out there. Oh, and you're right about Celinde, she certainly is easy on the eye.
Where all these def people go??? How can you not worship this piece of art. It certainly is amazing! But you not recognizing Celinde😂(the best Christine ever) ”are you any good” that was hilarious ! Very talented man you are, all the best!
Hi, Hope you enjoy the music! You can follow me @stephensings1 on Twitter or Instagram. Find me on FaceBook at stephensings1 or visit stephensings.com. Looking forward to 'seeing' you somewhere on the internets!!
Celinde must have recognized how good you are, to sing with you. 2 beautiful voices! I have seen this video many times, hope you will get recognition for your Voice soon😘💫
Hi, I'm french. Why i didn't see you there when I was visiting London. Really I don't understand people who don't stop to hear. If i was there, i will appreciate each second as at the moment when i'm seeing your video. Bravo
Stephen Barry, I will follow your gorgeous, stirring voice wherever you take it. Have you been 'found' yet? You need to be on the biggest stages all over the world. Please sing for us.
I hope when you look into the mirror, you see a living gift from God. Your performance gave many people such joy. This one especially is a 2-Kleenex box. You are awesome!
You have a beautiful voice Stephen! What a wonderful gift you bring to the world. Glad you had the chance to meet and sing with Celine Schoenmaker. Your performance was such a delight to watch.
So beautiful, am in tears here. The people passing by were so lucky, they got this amazing performance for free - those going to see it in the theatre have to pay.
Oh WOW! I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon this quite by accident. What a pleasure and a privilege. You have made an old woman very happy tonight. Bless you both. Thank you 💝💝💝
This is my all-time favorite video, my all-time favorite duo to sing this beautiful song. You two should perform together in the Phantom! Love love love can't say it enough.
I just heard this and it has to be my video of the year.absolutely brilliant I work to help Youth Talent and this makes me burst with love for you both...The best part is an established star reaching out to spotlight an awesome young singer...Wish more would help young artists...Will always play this and am sharing on my profile this Christmas Day to give hope and inspire many young musicians...Thank you so much ❤
Only saw this for the first time today and my goosebumps have goosebumps by the end. Seen a lot of musical theatre and this is worthy of a west end stage
This was so freshly and spontaneously lovely and loving! I am amazed that everyone within hearing distance didn't stop to "smell the roses"!🎶❣🌺 I would love to hear you sing more duets with this talented lady and others of her superb caliber!
ปีที่แล้ว +1
This is the most magical moment I have ever seen... I get chills every time I see it and have a huge smile through their entire performance. Restores my faith of good in this world!
Stephen, good afternoon, I hope this message finds you well... I am from Brazil and my fist contact with this amazing musical was a 30 years ago, and I have had the opportunity to watch it around the globe as well there in London. But only today (21.11.03) I had the opportunity to watch this video, marvelous and magic moment ( also I shared it on my Linkedin with the link for your YT)....congratulations..
I've watched this so many times. Love every minute of it from how surprised you were at the beautiful voice of hers to then throwing down the guantlet as if to say, okay, it's on lol Your voice is wonderful Stephen. You deserve every success. I also have to say that towards the end when she thinks it's over and you continue to sing and then she belts out this high note, like a Bird singing from Heaven - omg, goosebumps. I hope you kept in touch.
Incredible !! - I've seen the "Phantom" production at most every major venue in the US. You two could be cast in any company I've seen. Beautiful ! Stephen has an infectious voice, no matter the style.
@Randy Porter One of my fav operas & totally agree with U Randy, infectious indeed. Steven I can't believe how you pulled it off. Obviously you have practiced and spent much time with this musical.
@@paulritz5655 I agree with you Paul. Stephen had to have spent some time on this. I was able to buy "Christine's" ballet shoes she wore throughout the Vegas production. They were a gift for my wife. She has a nice collection of actual stage-used props and costuming. I had a chance to buy the actual antique wheelchair, from the opening auction scene in Vegas. But, passed on that one. Waiting to see what other items I may can get. Very few Phantom pieces are ever sold and are typically numbered and warehoused.
@Randy Porter Lucky Wife,...fun stuff ! Last nite was my first time hearing Stephen sing, purely an algorithm accident. Already click researching his other stuff & "career?" But only a Phantom buff would truly appreciate how special that "unplanned" duo was. Still pinching myself.
@@paulritz5655 You know, I came across Stephen due to “recommended” video pop up too. I typically get selections like “Andes Goat Herding For Novices” and the like. I immediately did the same thing and started searching. Glad I did.
StephenSings1 - OMG...I wanted to cry just listening to both of you! THANK YOU BOTH...for sharing your gifts with the world (and me!) Namaste to both of you!
It astounds me that the world did not stop moving for this performance. Absolutely beautiful.
Dear Stephen The Covent Garden clip was posted to me - it is so beautiful. I have shown it serveral times to my wife who is in care with dementia and she comes alive at this wonderful duet. Thank you so much from us both. Bob Stark
That is amazing. My Mum had dementia and I'm sure she would have loved this. The sincerity and warmth in the performance is powerful and music crosses many boundaries, even dementia. So glad it touched your wife too.
I love this. So incredibly moving.
What a beautiful performance...and what a beautiful thing for you to share it with your ailing wife. ❤❤❤😊
I have no musical training and am not blessed with any artistic talent, but...I just listened to Celinde perform this with Michael Xavier and I am now convinced this performance here is inspired on the parts of both artists. This impromptu performance is simply magical and so much more than what we might see on the stage. This is what it means to discover beauty in the world.
I had to catch this 3 times , So , just to hear this .
What a wonderful performance from two very talented people, you shurley deserve the recognistion you deserve.
i think ive watched this 50 times.. with a voice like yours WHY ARENT YOU ON STAGE!!
He is! All the world's a stage said some clever geezer, and wow! Stephen has certainly made the world his stage and I am entranced, as I can see so many others are and so many more will be as his fame spreads. 💗🌍💗
Why are you not in Boston. You are Irish and we would have you on stage in no time at all. In the interim, may the world see this video and enjoy it as have we.....with tears streaming. What a duet and you response was so classically innocent.
I agree. But he keeps on doing those cruises. Good for money but not his career.
This is the coolest thing ever. To have a star be like “hey, that was really good, let’s sing together.”
What a sweet reaction to her singing, followed by both absolutely crushing it! ❤️

@@nashvillemusician815 plus the fact that she stopped on the street and performed with a street performer, so magical.
What an incredible voice this guy has
Came across this in a tweet. I can’t stop listening and tearing up. It is so beautiful - the music, the voices, the thrill of discovery, the unexpected. I am enthralled.
I wish that someday soon you both re-record this. I always go back to this song when I need a lil bit of uplifting.
He’s so flustered that he can’t remember the phrases 🤣 How wonderful she stopped to sing with you!
Watched this for years now
Best version ever
I love when he drops the scarf to reveal the penguin sweater!! Seriously, beautiful.
As Phantom closes on Broadway after nearly 14k performances, each viewing of this video of Stephen and Celinde is a magical to me as the first time I saw it.
What a beautiful moment Stephen!! I’ ve replayed it for hours. We would love to know if it singing with Celinde changed your life and boosted your career.

When they go for it together....goosebumps time. Memories of seeing it live at HMT on my 40th. 23 years ago now. Bravissimo ♥️
Celinde is such a classy, down to earth Lady. And you both sang like Angels! This is my All Time Favorite Song! Heartwarming!❤❤❤ Sending love and light from the Philippines!
Wow! You could easily stand with her on that stage! Wonderfull duet! Nice of her to do this
Thanks Sharon Performing that duet on stage would be amazing!

Magical! I was lucky to have been there for that! Stephen you have a brilliant talent! TY
😍 How many times is it 'unhealthy' to watch this? It is so beautiful and lifts my spirits to the happiest of places. Gorgeous.
Their voices are just perfect together! Would love to see them in concert together
I know this actually happened 6 years ago, by today’s date, but for me it just happened right now, in this moment. This duet is absolutely inspired, on some other level that defies the sense; straight to my soul. Stephen and Celinde are both unspeakably talented…their ability to perform on this level, impromptu, defies the norms of human capability. I’ve been blessed!
I absolutely agree with you....indeed it went straight to my soul as well... heavenly
OMG, this made hair stand up on my arms, they sound MAGICAL together! Sharing this one far and wide! Awesome, beautiful!!! Stephen you should totally be cast as the next Raoul!!!!
Thanks Cheryl....Being cast as Raoul would be pretty terrific!
I'll second that! 💖💖💖
That was amazing..she obviously recognized your talent...you are SO talented and I am sure you will soon be famous!
Exactly Liz, she wouldn't have done that otherwise. I can't understand why Stephen isn't big time yet!
Great voice Stephen,, but how special for Celinde to join him, she just seems such a lovely, beautiful person, with a marvellous voice.
This is without a doubt the BEST video on youtube. I have seen this and the one posted from the beginning hundreds of times and there is always a smile on my face. I am a musician myself and the talent in this video and the feeling between the two of you, from being strangers to the love that radiates as you do this song...it's just bone chilling!

”are you any good” that was hilarious !
Very talented man you are, all the best!
Why is he not on Broadway yet or singing in great music halls? His range, his trueness of every note, and his good looks should take him to the top.
Hi, Hope you enjoy the music! You can follow me @stephensings1 on Twitter or Instagram. Find me on FaceBook at stephensings1 or visit stephensings.com.

Stephen Barry, I will follow your gorgeous, stirring voice wherever you take it. Have you been 'found' yet? You need to be on the biggest stages all over the world. Please sing for us.
I wish I had been walking through Covent Garden that evening. 💕💕
Just imagine to have a talent that attracts that kind of women...
Totally uplifting. What talent. Thanks for cheering up my day.
I hope when you look into the mirror, you see a living gift from God. Your performance gave many people such joy. This one especially is a 2-Kleenex box. You are awesome!
that was stunning..he must have been shocked when he found out who she was!!
You have a beautiful voice Stephen! What a wonderful gift you bring to the world. Glad you had the chance to meet and sing with Celine Schoenmaker. Your performance was such a delight to watch.

"I'm currently Christine in Phantom " Not a big deal at all 😂 You have a beautiful voice ! And it goes really well with Celinde's voice ! 😍💚
Sensational. Have just watched this six times. Goose bump time.
OMG I would have loved to seen this, what a fantastic experience
