When I hear the aria I remember Jesse Norman singing this at the Met so magnificently. This young lady has a remarkable voice. May she have a long and glorious career.
Yes, me too. The generosity of tone, sense of line and exploration of the whole dynamic range will forever remain in my memory. I heard Ms. Norman sing Les Nuit d'Ete in London in the early 1990's and her performance will long remain in my memory as one of the greats. That said, here is a new and incredible soprano who will bring new insights to the rep. May she enjoy an amazing career.
I saw her at the premiere on March 1 and was bowled over by the size and beauty of her amazing voice. She also has great stage presence, moving with dignity and authority. Definitely a future Isolde!!!
I saw this yesterday at the Met. Unbelievable power and beauty! I have never heard a voice fill the Met like that. Poor tenor Javanovich didn't stand a chance singing with her.
No need to besmirch a singer, Jovanovich was a superb Lohengrin in Zurich and Enee in Bastille. The Met is a monstrosity of a theater, that's for sure. Talk about that huge building that doesn't even get filled in NYC, so much for the opera lovers there...
Right now, we are in the presence of rare, truly magnificent greatness with Ms. Davidsen on stage. If at all possible, do not miss the chance to attend Lise Davidsen’s live performances. A voice such as hers only turns up once or maybe twice every century. Comparisons to Kirsten Flagstad and Birgit Nilsson would be inevitable, since Lise Davidsen’s singing sounds refreshingly similar. However, such comparisons would be only justifiable by listeners who were fortunate enough to have heard either of those legendary Ladies live on stage. As for myself, all I have for references are Flagstad’s and Nilsson’s recordings, but it’s safe to say listening to Ms. Davidsen in person at the House gave me the impression that I went on a time capsule back to the glory days of Opera’s past.
@@matthewdavid3409 in person, at the House, the voice is so powerful that gave me immediate physical reactions the second she opened her mouth. My eyes were watering before I even got emotional, if that makes any sense at all! I had never felt it like that with any other singer. But Ms. Davidsen is not just a powerhouse, her timbre is gorgeous and she sings like a goddess.
Beautiful. It’s nice to see positive and supportive comments. On the other hand, while an opinion is granted to all, what a marvelous opportunity for singers to be wonderful and human, pursuing their craft in the face of commentators who have nothing better to do than to criticize every note, bit of technique and to compare every singer to our great singers of the past, who are and were human as well. I hope she continues to do well, enjoys her career and has the strength to ignore base, rude, overly opinionated, immature, disrespectful and down right disgusting comments shelled out by those who get to sit and mock behind a computer screen. It has to be said because enough is enough!! She’s out there like to many doing the thing! Bless her, our art form and others that are sacrificing so much to pursue their dream.
@@vincec8218 your obnoxious message does not do the singer you are trying to promote any favor. Au contraire. It is not fair to a young, aspiring artist. You should desist.
Heard her live today. She has the biggest voice I’ve ever heard live. It literally pins you to your sit. I think she’s the closest we have to a modern Birgit Nilsson or Kirsten Flagstad. And she’s only 35. Just wait until she’s 45.
I tend to agree, there is something darker and rounder to the voice, as opposed to Nilsson’s brighter, laserbeam of a voice and Flagstad’s molten gold.
Delighted+ to see/hear how fantastically she's been growing as a singer. I remember (not that long ago) she made a fabulous impression in me singing Strauss's "Morgen" in a superb version with orchestra conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen.
She is the only golden age singer singing today. She would hold her own with the greats of the past. You can hear it the minute she opens her mouth. Having been subjected to Netrebko (ugh) and Fleming (eh) ad nauseam at the Met with people insisting they were all time greats, it's nice to finally hear an actual one.
Do not insult others opinions with your petty insults of other singers. You choose to go to the Met and listen to those great singers that you insult. No one forced you to go. The greats of the past as you put it were far and few.
If this is golden age singing to you then we've truly lost what good Opera singing is all about. This is just as bad as the aformentioned. She's nasal, covering way too low (nasty mask singing technique which kills the voice) and she's barely audible in the middle or lower parts of the voice without the hidden microphone that's helping her.
@@ransomcoates546 Yeah but I was trying to be nice. This is what they consider to be elite-levels of singing and the conservatories are just mass-producing these little gremlins with their white-sounding, bloodless, robotic sounds that's not even in tune and passing it off as "legit and proper". Bring back the days of DiStefano and Callas.
@@tonshaad1230 Alas, I fear the nature of modern culture makes that impossible. I feel lucky to have heard the last generation of the greats in the 60’s
Something happened: people don't have good voices anymore. In the past voices were unique. Today one can't determine who is singing if not on a stage; they are more or less the same.
The voice is restless, the vibrato much too big. I know that many like Davidsen because she is loud, but that is not a quality criterion. In addition, she doesn't always sing clearly language-wise. For me, a hype is being made about her that only comes from the fact that there is very little hope in the opera sky at the moment. And there, the one-eyed are quickly queens.
Knödel, nasal, depressed larynx and ingolata singing. No legato, much strain, register breaks. Very weird vowel openings. Jaw flattering(1:27) - read again tension, much tension. Fake voice all the way, not a sign of natural body singing. And she doesn't understand how the vocal i works. Well not like she does it in 1:18. Terrible! Where does the Met find such broken singers???
@@leilathomas2536 Maybe one day you'll hear my singing, or maybe you already have, but you don't even know it. Maybe we'll even meet in person one day and we won't know it. 🙂

How I miss Jessye Norman.
Who gives a flying f$&@ about her! Don’t come on another soprano’s discussion pandl to promote some b$&@!!

Jessye Norman was fantastic as Ariadne! But this Lady reminds me a lot of Norman.
She is THE new generation. So beautiful and flawless sung!!!
I saw her at the premiere on March 1 and was bowled over by the size and beauty of her amazing voice. She also has great stage presence, moving with dignity and authority. Definitely a future Isolde!!!
She is just superb in this role. Her voice is perfect for Ariadne. Brava.
What a splendid voice with a distinct power and command. Indeed! A new diva has arrived. ❤❤❤
The sheer majesty of her sound is breathtaking.
That low register... 😍😍😍😍😍
Truly, a singer of outstanding and incredible talent, and a voice of noble stature and beauty! Thank you for your wonderful singing, Lise.

Yes twice in a century and I am the other one ...isn't it heartbreaking where life can lead you I feel as if I can't even breathe 💔
The high notes have that immediate attack of Nilsson. No scoop, just pitch. So rare now for people with her voice type.

That depth and richness! Holy smokes. She's a treasure.
Flagstad? Nilsson? Utterly ridiculous.
Davidsen does indeed have a fine voice. Her vocal timbre, however, is more similar to Astrid Varnay than it is to either Flagstad or Nilsson IMO.
I tend to agree, there is something darker and rounder to the voice, as opposed to Nilsson’s brighter, laserbeam of a voice and Flagstad’s molten gold.

This is a voice!!! Not like the 99% of times the met hire mediocre singers. In your face Netrebko
Perhaps they can convince her to fill the vacancy for their upcoming Lohengrin. Just the right voice for it
Mediocre in your opinion. The Met hires the same singers that sing in all the other opera houses around the world.
