If you only told me that they sing a rendition of "One Song Glory" but without the heavy guitar and a soft piano instead, I wouldn't have thought it would be very good, but I've been proved wrong.
I can imagine Roger singing this song to himself on his actual deathbed. And the piano would fit because he'd be too sick to play his guitar (not that he does in the actual version of the song, but he technically could).
The accompanist is FANTASTIC! He is doing exactly what he needs to do for Aaron: giving him the support he needs to shine, and nothing more, exquisitely.
Aaron: *reads Rodolfo's words and expects the audience to laugh at them* Audience: *thinking silently* Aww that's so romantic and beautiful! Aaron: Hilarious, right? Audience: Oh yes, hahaha!
What is surprising? That he hits it or that the score has it? Every tenor on that role sings it, with a full orchestra in a theater with no sound system and great acoustics. You have a lot of versions here in youtube, th-cam.com/video/1tlM9arIzZc/w-d-xo.html
@@leif1075 1. You need to be born with that in your range and when you go through your major voice change you stay a tenor. Then practice like crazy. Also men’s voices don’t mature till the age of 46 I think and women’s voices mature around 25-30 I believe. So keep that in mind. He is nearing maturity meaning he’s regained a lot of range from when he lost it during his major voice change. Also he’s a professional, practices a ton, and most definitely practices expanding his range but he was born a tenor and that’s kinda what you need first. If you’re not a tenor, chances are you’ll never hit that note full voice. Falsetto for sure. Full voice, most likely not.
@@leif1075 I mean you can work towards it but not really. Like I’m a bass and I’ve regained pitches as I’ve gone through life and my voice has developed more. But I won’t ever be able to sing that. You can extend your range by working on it but it takes a while and it only can extend your range by a few notes, not like an entire octave. It all depends on where in development you are though. But for the most part no if you’re born without it, chances are you won’t have it in your range unless you are somewhat close to it
I saw when he started the aria, he sounded like an American who learned to pronounce Italian. But the aria, with its emotional intensity, captured him and carried him along - that's what great music does - and by the end, he was totally one with the aria and Italian. Great classical music captivates the singer, and makes him greater than he realized was possible.
He acts the lyrics SO well!! As someone who is really familiar with the piece, his rendition is extremely refreshing! Beautiful diction, acting the lyrics, emphasizing the climax of the aria, all amazing choices. He doesn’t have to be Jussi Bjorling, he is amazing as he is!
As an opera singer (I know my comment is considered "taboo"), I must say it's pretty cool to hear "Che gelida manina" done in a musical theatre fashion! ;-)
As an opera enthusiast, I agree! His Italian was very good, and the arrangements he made to bring it down for his vocal range was not something I ever expected to hear a musical theatre performer do, but just goes to show how talented Tveit is. I'm so glad I found this video!
J'ai dû mal à apprécier l'opéra parce que cela se veut trop grandiose, maniéré et élitiste... Que cela en devient moche et casse-pied à écouter. De la légèreté, du naturel humble c'est beaucoup plus agréable pour les oreilles. Ce n'est que mon avis. Chanter de l'opéra quel travail technique... Une performance. Mais parfois ce trop... ce n'est pas agréable à écouter.
I know! Aaron Tveit should try Erlkonig by Schubert. A great German lied (song).There are 4 characters each with a different voice, the narrator, the father carries the son riding thru the forest, the son tries to warn the father of the presence of the Erlkonig, a fatal character. The Erlkonig seduces the child with visions of play. The child cries to his father, the Erlkonig! Father refuses to listen, it's just a wisp of fog. At the end of the song, the father rides desperately, holding his son. As they reach home, the child in his arms, the child lies - dead. I wish I could sing this. Can't, it's for a man's voice(s).
This is what I've wanted to hear him sing since he sang Maria with the NY Phil. I knew he could do opera. He has all the Italian emotion. Beautifully presented and sung! What commitment in an entirely different medium - I don't mean in Italian, that's a given. I mean the operatic style. The top notes are tight, but he can work on it. Try another.
😂 don’t get me wrong I love Aaron voice when he sing one song glory, but the guy in the movie Rent I love his voice way better cause it has that rock n roll edge to it that I adore
Adam Pascal. He is one of my most favorite Broadway singers ever. The power and control of his voice is next level. I adore Aaron too. They both are very charismatic and captivating.
Chanter et rire en même temps et faire rire autant ! Quel bonheur. Quel dommage que je ne comprennexpas la subtilité des paroles... Je comprends que certains tombent amoureux en l'écoutant chanter.
@ThatGreenDayFreak If he's a pro (and I think he is) he's paying over $100 an hour, easily, in NYC to keep his 'chops' up. Which may indicate that he's getting ripped off. No doubting talent. Just execution.
wow I thought that we were over the puberty jokes for men with high voices... I mean, how shallow do you have to be? Especially since you're using it as an insult just because you didn't like a cover. Not to mention that a lot of the most famous male singers of today have high voices. Obviously people like them. (Also, as I am not knowledgable in the voice department whatsoever, I'll believe the multiple people who have commented on his amazing technique and pronounciation in the past couple of years over one bitter comment)
@bicth !!!!!!!! I just realized that I could have worded my comment a bit better. The last part about people complimenting his pronounciation was not meant for his italian. I don't speak italian but common sense tells me his italian isn't probably that great if he's never studied it. So yeah, I'm not talking about his italian, which I think shouldn't really be up for discussion as Aaron himself said that his italian isn't good, and we're all here to admire singing, not whether or not his pronounciation is correct. I was simply refering to the countless comments about his articulation and pronounciation in english, that people have made in the past. (same goes for the technique, people have complimented his overall singing technique, not the aria)
It’s comments like this that can keep people away from opera. It’s not always opera either; it’s needing to avoid people who think only the elite music lovers are allowed to listen to opera. His singing is very well executed. Is it viable for opera? Hell no lol but introducing people to the repertoire can create new opera music lovers. Please get off your high horse and help create love for the art form instead of hate for the trolls.
@@EricksonFranco The art form was created by intelligent Italians with a knowledge of ancient Greek Drama. If that's not 'Elitist,' I don't know what is. It's also cultural appropriation to think Opera (like all Western Culture) belongs to everyone, rather than to those who created it. Works both ways, miho.
I know you were doing it for fun and just to show off your misplaced high notes. But oh boy, you made Puccini turning in his grave. And the pianist’s very POOR piano accompaniment by ear was horrible!
His Idina impressions have murdered me.
Once again: Aaron Tveit VS The Key
I need Aaron tveit for a one man Wicked. NOW
Can he play Glinda in the movie instead of Ariana Grande? 🤷♂️🤣
He sings female roles better than I do
Something magical changes at 1:21 - the lights go green, the music starts... Aaron mutters "for fuck's sake" under his breath... Beautiful.
If you only told me that they sing a rendition of "One Song Glory" but without the heavy guitar and a soft piano instead, I wouldn't have thought it would be very good, but I've been proved wrong.

@@PianoDisneygal10 damn… why you do that to me? I was already effed up by the song itself 😭😭
The accompanist is FANTASTIC! He is doing exactly what he needs to do for Aaron: giving him the support he needs to shine, and nothing more, exquisitely.
And so handsome!
@@bondfoolYES HE IS !! BEAUTIFUL SMILE !!
The little “quando men vo” interlude he played while Aaron was explaining La Boheme was amazing!
Aaron: *reads Rodolfo's words and expects the audience to laugh at them*
Audience: *thinking silently* Aww that's so romantic and beautiful!
Aaron: Hilarious, right?
Audience: Oh yes, hahaha!
@bicth !!!!!!!! Maybe, but it sounded more like a joke to me, I don't know why...
Are we not gonna talk about the fact that he just hit a Eb5?? Kudos
How can I hit that note like that?
What is surprising? That he hits it or that the score has it?

Aaron singing in Italian is the most beautiful thing ever! His voice is just on a different level, the man can sing anything
Who is the accompanist? His arrangement for One Song Glory is the best I’ve heard.
the guy behind the piano is Bryan Perri and he's amazing
It is exquisite.
@@Nala_P Thank You, btw
That was beautifully done as a non-opera singer. My respect has risen for his effort.
the serotonin in this 9-minute video is unreal
Such an artist with his voice! Aaron Tveit for the win every time.

The Italian part is so beautiful to hear!
8.04 He manages that break better than most trained opera singers! 8.41 he even hits the high note, although he doesn't stay on it very long.
He was classically trained
His Italian is impressive! It may have an American accent but totally understandable.
Just discovered this! Wow, as an Italian I can say, that despite some words, he's pretty good! And of course he's singing is always beautiful
aaron and opera is the best crossover all week
Can we talk about that piano arrangement though 😭 just absolutely GORGEOUS
I've been having a terrible day, and this has just cheered me up
Omg, I’ve never seen this. Aaron was my teen crush and Che gelida is like my ALL TIME FAVORITE aria -I can’t handle this lmao
the most talented man to ever be on broadway. truly a legend ❤️❤️❤️
I agree
And one of the loveliest
Seen him live in Moulin Rouge, one of the best artists in the industry. Absolute quality
I love RENT. I've seen it on both the stage and screen. I love Aaron Tveit even more! What a combo!! Oh my heart! *swoon!*
This actually gives me life
Are you kidding me right now?!? We don’t deserve this man 😢

I need him to sing more legit sounding/classical pieces... he sounds beautiful!
“It sounds like this in Italian...”
Che gelida manina is in italian.
This pianist is so happy. Its amazing
His smile is making me happy!
Lovely, just lovely. Thanks for sharing!
im sorry i just fell in love
Love how the pianist kept pimping him. :-)

4:42 ah yes, "warmth"
Qué maravillosa interpretación y ¡en italiano!
Wow. This is just amazing.❤️
as an italian, i approve
Aaron is an absolute legend
This video is like, my fave. The Wicked stuff at the beginning is the BEST. Cracks me tf up
Who's the guy at the piano?
I think it's Bryan Perri
Tbh his facial expressions directed at Aaron are amazing
I agree they are so sweet
Remember when love shows were a thing? This is gold!!
Reads translation
Can you imagine saying that to someone? You think it could make someone fall in love with me
Audience: I think it already has...
I understand that reference.
@@lizzymackay7278 I understood THAT reference 😂
His italian is so good wtf??
NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT HIS BEAUTIFUL RENDITION OF THE ARIA?????
HE SOOOO FINE AND TALENTED I'M DEAD :)))))))))
Wow--this guy is sooooo talented as is the accompanist as well---wished that I had been there...
😂 don’t get me wrong I love Aaron voice when he sing one song glory, but the guy in the movie Rent I love his voice way better cause it has that rock n roll edge to it that I adore
The movie actor who played Roger is the original actor who played Roger in the musical first and that singer is Adam Pascal
Adam Pascal. He is one of my most favorite Broadway singers ever. The power and control of his voice is next level.
I adore Aaron too. They both are very charismatic and captivating.
This is absolutely incredible. Thank you!
this gives me so much life
Aaron sing more Opera please!!
Thank you for this. I had no idea he could sing opera like that, he is so versatile! What a fascinating man.
He started off studying opera and then changed to musical theatre.
im sorry but that rendition of the aria just wasn’t it.
That was beautiful!!!
A stunning Man with looks and talent! I would love to see him live❤
"It sounds like this in Italian".. omg
Ma è bravissimo 💕💕💕 Mi sciolgo çwç
Jaja I love you Aaron but you need to improve much more the italian to sing that aria.
What a king
LA PERFEZIONEEEEE 😍😍😍😍
OMG NOW I HAAAVVVVEE TO SEE HIM PLAY ELPHABA!!!
What an incredible voice! BRAVO!!!
I think I’m a little bit 🥰
Stunning

Wow. Just wow. ❤
I don't know who this man is but I love him.
how does one recover after watching this video? asking for a friend
can I translate this video into korean and upload my channel?
sure! just credit the video.
@@anrina Of course!! thank you :)
Does anyone know what piece is the pianist playing while Aaron reads the lyrics of che gelida manina in English?
musettas waltz from la boheme
"Sounds like this on italian" wtf
V
Who's that pianist?
His Musical director since 2013.
That Italian is bad but he can be excused because he is not Italian.
When does he go through puberty? lovely attempt to 'try on' Puccini. But... no.
Stick to amplified singing, Aaron.
@ThatGreenDayFreak If he's a pro (and I think he is) he's paying over $100 an hour, easily, in NYC to keep his 'chops' up. Which may indicate that he's getting ripped off. No doubting talent. Just execution.
