Loved this episode, ladies! I’m a lyric baritone, and sang for a few years with the SF Opera as a member of the chorus. Eventually, I fell out of the career. You ladies talk about a lot of real stuff, and it’s humbling and uplifting. Bringing humanity to our rarefied art is the ONLY way to keep it relevant. And the comments about Bocelli!! I’m guilty of being one of those who have slagged him off as a pretender, and I never will again! Nadine is 100% right! I sang with a couple of “leading tenors” at SFO that made some pretty god-awful sounds - and they were “legitimate opera singers” on 3 days rest, yadda yadda yadda. Bravo, Bocelli, and thank you Nadine for speaking a little truth to our arrogance.
Off to a great start for 2022, Divas! With young singers like Nadine, I would say the future of opera is in good hands. And Sondra, those overalls are you.
Fun fact: June Anderson actually won the Met Auditions at the age of 17 back in the day. The lovely Nadine is the youngest winner (she was 20) since the Met’s age requirements changed. 😊
Thank you, once again, for an hour+ of smiles and laughter…love ending my day with your smiles and shenanigans❣️❣️ Nadine is amazing and delightful👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I just watched this one, which I have been wanting to do for the longest time as Nadine is one of my favorite opera singers. I found very lovely the part where she talks about Pretty Yende and how they know when they are having a rough time. Pretty is going right now through a really difficult time as her mother recently passed and I found out through Nadine that Pretty was having difficulties as she was wishing her well. They both sing beautifully, they are true artists and have a beautiful friendship!
Excellent interview and happy new year to the Screaming Divas! I am so glad to have caught Nadine Sierra as Gilda almost 9 years ago. Looking forward to her expanding repertoire.
I just wrote a note to you both-then realized I’d put it on Canadian Opera’s site. We send both of you lots of love-sucks when you write something and get it right-then my techno challenge comes out. Wow can you both sing! Toi, toi, toi! “ScreamingDivas” is magic! 🎶❤️. Rick and Jeffrey.
Thank you for this interview! Nadine is so cool! Opera has such an undeserved reputation of being hoity-toity and stodgy. Any music fan who doesn’t love opera has never really listened to opera. Who wouldn’t love La Bohème? Or Tosca? Or Aida? Or …
Wow, what an interesting person Nadine is. I had to pause at 28 min. because all she said so far I felt totally drawn to. I loved & admired her singing before, but now I also know a little of her mind and 👍. So, thanks #ScreamingDivas. Loved all the Bocelli part & will try to find her coach on YT to know him. Indeed fascinating Nadine Sierra to me, had a great time.
Great interview as always ladies. We are having trouble getting rapid tests in U.K. as well. Pharmacies are out of stock and can’t even get online at the moment and these are free on our NHS. Stay safe peoples
You know I didn’t know much about Nadine Sierra until like 3-4 years ago and I love her, not just because she’s a classical musician who’s around my age and not just because she’s a fellow Latina but she seems like a humble and down to earth human being and I’d love to meet her one day. Also, we’re both from South Florida (She’s from Fort Lauderdale and I’m from Miami)🥰❤️
I have to say I appreciated the discussion about testing because I agree that it makes you able to operate with more security because you know as well as you can if someone is positive, unless they are still in incubation. It should be the most important thing when entering venues rather than proof of vaccination status since that does not impede the spread of the virus. Great conversation!
Praised for her vocal beauty, seamless technique, and abundant musicality, Nadine Sierra is being hailed as one of the most promising, young talents in opera today. She was named the Richard Tucker Award Winner in 2017 and was awarded the 2018 Beverly Sills Artist Award by the Metropolitan Opera. Having made a string of successful debuts at the Met, Teatro alla Scala, Opéra national de Paris, and Staatsoper Berlin, she has become a fixture at many of the top houses around the world. On August 24th, 2018, her debut album, There’s a Place for Us, was released under the Deutsche Grammophon/Universal Music labels.
My first teacher was Dotti Gronlund, I believe she was on the Palm Beach Opera Guild. I miss her, she's now in a nursing home in Orlando with Alzheimers.
I love how realistic you all plate with singing and social Mend and relating to life with your special voice. Sorry to say it all about the voice and you are amazing!! Voice voice voice will keep opera alive!!! 🤩🤩👍🏻👍🏻
Very interesting story about Bocelli. To be honest, I was never a fan, but when he appeared on the Tucker Gala with some accomplished legit singers, I thought, ok he’s putting his money where his mouth is, putting his reputation on the line. Kudos. And then he sang. It was just awful, and I vividly remember Nadine pulling him through it (was it a duet from Lucia?). She is very kind to speak of him with affection, but any of the tenors on that show could’ve sung him under the table, while earning a fraction of his income. Sorry.
On Singing With Andrea Bocelli- “‘Let me tell you something: I don’t have a single tenor colleague in our realm who can do what he does - sing every day, travel every day, then sing, memorise all of this new music, get up there in front of minimum 18,000 people and still have a quality in his voice that is beautiful. Can sing high notes for days and has breath control…. sometimes I’m singing high notes with him and I’m thinking, he’s gotta stop now cos I’m gonna die”. Really? Really Nadine? I can think of a few tenors you’ve sung with who can match him and THENSOME THENSOME on all counts you’ve mentioned. If you want to sing with him because it’s good exposure for you, FINE. Just say it. But don’t justify it by denigrating the talent you’ve been privileged to perform with. BTW, love your voice.

Nadine Sierra’s one of my favorite sopranos of opera 🩵🩷💙🌹

I'm convinced that Nadine can help fill the void left by the untimely passing of Patricia Janeckova, the acclaimed Slovak soprano.
Fun fact: June Anderson actually won the Met Auditions at the age of 17 back in the day. The lovely Nadine is the youngest winner (she was 20) since the Met’s age requirements changed. 😊
"Better living through chemistry" and the hairpiece-thing killed me. Thank you so much ladies!!!

Nadine very nice and eloquent, do not know much about her but I will find out more about her now thanks to the SCREAMINGDIVAS
Excellent interview and happy new year to the Screaming Divas! I am so glad to have caught Nadine Sierra as Gilda almost 9 years ago. Looking forward to her expanding repertoire.
But please don't let Nadine sing Wagner operas; I fear they'd be too much for her!

This was an excellent interview as always ♥️ Nadine is such a great artist, I loved getting to listen to her talk more casually!

I got two blouses at H&M and wear them all the time. I'm retired so price is important to me. Thanks for permission to be myself!
I love how realistic you all plate with singing and social
Mend and relating to life with your special voice. Sorry to say it all about the voice and you are amazing!!
Voice voice voice will keep opera alive!!!

Sorry to learn that Nadine called off her engagement.

I would love to hear the "big hair divas" of yesteryear rather than these women. Bocelli a great tenor? Right.
