My question to Sarah would be: If you could reach the high D-sharp here, then why did you not try for the high D in Mein Herr Marquis? While it can be sung by a soubrette, most often it is a coloratura who likes to show off a high D at the end. I understand you're not Sarah and are just showing us how proud you are of her.
Thanks for your comment. It's a good question. The answer is that Sarah Leah learned this piece when she was much younger, and her teacher didn't want to push her that high yet. It's also a way for her to learn how to make the most of a piece and give texture and feelings without reaching the highest notes. It's a constraint to teach her how to improve her performance. I suspect that she'll sing the high D-sharp on Mein Herr Marquis at some point, but it's also important to know how to make the most out of the performance without the "fireworks". 😄 Thank you so much for your support.
Blessed and talented young lady. So proud of her👏👏👏
