As great as this is, and as much as I love her, nothing prepared me for how truly stunning she was in Houston in the full opera. She OWNED the house and she knew it. I pray La Favorite is revived for this truly extraordinary artist. She is one of the greats.
Stunning voice, artistry and a voice that thrills! How exciting! I love her tone and all the colours she generously shares and yet such a brilliance and power, controlled beautifully... goose bumps
Incredible voice and technique. Unbelievable lows, middles and highs with an amazing approach to the breath and the forward sound. God bless your voice and yourself MS Barton🙏🏼❤️
This is wonderful, she has a terrific voice and just seems to have an amazing resource of technique and musicianship, the expression and emotion are anchored in the sense and phrasing of the music. A truly engaging performer with a wonderful voice....
Well ,Jamie won the competition in Cardiff-of course.It seemed the whole auditorium was saluting her when they stood and sang the Welsh National Anthem .It was a very well deserved win.Congratulations from Anglesey,my dear.
She sounds and looks stunning! I saw her in recital in person and it was breathtaking. She is an amazing artists and singer, and incredibly down to earth as well. The real deal!
ME too! In two weeks! I love that she mentions that the opera is never staged. Well Jamie, when an artist is as great as you are, a rarely heard opera is revived!
such power,precision and tone is wonderful.I haven't heard any others in the Cardiff Singer of the World competition,but I don't need to.This lady cannot be bettered and has a great operatic career ahead of her.
Wow, wow, wow!!! Absolutely beautiful! I have just now 'discovered' her and I am immediately a fan! She has a timbre that I find similar to that of Marilyn Horne, especially in the lower register. Brava!!
Mister Opera If you think that’s “guttural timbre” then good luck with your teaching🤣 Maybe you approach to Ms Barton and maybe she accepts to become your student🤔
Ole Nielson Reminds me sometimes of Marilyn Horne (though her diction is better) and sometimes of Stephanie Blythe though her singing is totally personal.
I was fortunate enough to have studied vocal pedagogy under a professor who wrote his own book and studied under William Vennard---I learned much----I have listened to Ms. Barton several times I can find absolutely nothing vocally improper---What a voice she has!!! One of my favorite composers is Donizetti and I have this opera with Ms. Fiorenza Cossotto---It is wonderful---
The first time I saw this years ago I was so shook by her whole entire body language and range when she hit that high note it changed me. I would die to train with her! I want to be her.
Jamie eres bella bella que tienes un don para transmitir y emocionar para mi eres una de las mejores cantante de este momento en la nueva generación de voces operisticas te adoro tu voz posee grandes armonicos que logran dominar a una orquesta como esa esta area te pone en un pedestal interpretativo bravo bravo espero ver mas cosas tuyas besos besos
I totally agree that Ms. Barton is on the road to greater things---"La Favorita" by Donizzeti is superb for her voice---the voice is flawless and reminds me of Ms. Agnes Baltsa and Marilyn Horne intertwined---there is unity of the dark and light side of the "timbre" of the voice---I am in total admiration for her impressive abilities I look forward to seeing what this superb singer has in store for us---
She won the first round of Cardiff Singer of the World tonight, and from this video, there is no disputing that. BRAVA! And TOI TOI TOI in the competition.
Very impressive and just a beautiful sound ... Finally a Mezzo that is able to sing just beautiful rather than machine like... you are just amazing! :)
Sure! I'm in the US and its a PAIN to try to listen to the competition. I've been all over the web looking for updates lol. Just wish it was more accessible!
Sadly, TH-cam won't allow us to post links here, but I am presently listening to Jamie, the winner of Concert One, singing 'L'ai-je bien entendu?…O mon Fernand'. On BBC website. I am getting regular emailed updates with links to song clips.
Faultless interpretation, making donizetti engaging isn’t always easy! 🤣. Jamie Barton is the kind of universal vocal example to all young singers to up their game 🔥
It's not just that she was propperly trained. There are plenty of properly trained singers that couldn't act their way out of a paper bag. It's been less of a problem since Callas woke up the opera community to the fact that it's theatre but there are still singers (especially at recital venues) who just stand there and sing without bothering.
I wish Jamie all the best in the Cardiff competition! She deserves to win. Unfortunately, four of the nine judges are not singers. Out of those four, three aren't even musicians...AT ALL! Sadly, this has been the rule rather than the exception in vocal competitions for as long as I can remember. Why, I don't know, but it needs to change. Does this happen w/instrumentalists too?
operadoc registro acuto strangolato . voce di petto ingolata . interpretazione degna della scuola media . hai capito adesso per quale ratio c'è dente che apprezza poco questo modo di ''interpretare'' ?...

I saw her in this role in Houston just before world shutdown. Ine of my favorite opera memories. She is incomparable.

finally a singer with a steady tone and no tremolos or wobbling! Brava! true Bel canto!
Wow. So much power, and with good clarity 👍🏻
Never have heard about her ... till NOW! What a surprise!
She sounds and looks stunning! I saw her in recital in person and it was breathtaking. She is an amazing artists and singer, and incredibly down to earth as well. The real deal!
Did she shake or break things? Hurt your ears?
An incredible artist! I am so looking forward to her singing this role with Houston Grand Opera during the 2019-2020 season.
Me too. I will be there.
ME too! In two weeks! I love that she mentions that the opera is never staged. Well Jamie, when an artist is as great as you are, a rarely heard opera is revived!
Such vocal colour and vocal artistry. Simply thrilling and glorious to hear.
She has the same tamber too her voice as Marilyn Horne. Very good Mezzo bravo.
such power,precision and tone is wonderful.I haven't heard any others in the Cardiff Singer of the World competition,but I don't need to.This lady cannot be bettered and has a great operatic career ahead of her.
OMGosh! You rock, Ms. Barton! I've got goosebumps!
Damn! That rocked the rafters in the best possible way!!!
Definitely first cast material, and I hope to see/read more of it.
Wow what a voice and technique! Amazing mezzo!
Wow, wow, wow!!! Absolutely beautiful! I have just now 'discovered' her and I am immediately a fan! She has a timbre that I find similar to that of Marilyn Horne, especially in the lower register. Brava!!
Yes, I have thought at times that she reminds me a little of Marilyn Horne, which is very good.

What a magnificent voice and she looked like she was enjoying it so much. So relaxed. WOW!

Brilliant - watched BBC4 tonight and saw Jamie win her round - she sang this and was easily the outstanding singer of the night :)
I dont know how many times I have watched this video...i wish there were more videos of her singing....ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT!!!!!!

Bravo à Jamie Barton !!! quelle voix et surtout prononciation française quasi parfaite ! merci !!!!
Beautiful voice. Chest voice so rich and powerful and sweet in head voice also.
I love how Maestro Summers conducts certain sections with a flowing motion. It's just pretty to watch.
Yes! She really is the next great mezzo of our time as people below said. I am so looking forward to hearing more from her.
Wow!! Hair stood up on my neck. Hope to see more of her in future.
She won the first round of Cardiff Singer of the World tonight, and from this video, there is no disputing that. BRAVA! And TOI TOI TOI in the competition.
I hope we will be able to see more of her performances on TH-cam--after she wins the competition!.
I enjoyed every note!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Gorgeus amazing what a voice bravo
Beautiful singing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hormis la voix et l'interprétation, superbes, quel français !! formidable !
Голос великолепный настоящее меццо сопрано!! Блестяще браво!!!
Bingo! She nailed it with a top C!
Very impressive and just a beautiful sound ... Finally a Mezzo that is able to sing just beautiful rather than machine like... you are just amazing! :)
This woman is amazing! I love her!
bloody hell, Jamie! Fantastic!!!! Didn't think anyone could come close to Elina for me but you're breathtaking!!!!!
vidmania2011 better than Elina.
Elina has horrible chest voice, she’s a soprano with no high notes, not a mezzo.
This girl's gonna have a big career! An amazing gift!
I can't wait to see what she sings at the Tucker Gala to celebrate her win!
AMAZING! I LOVE YOU JAMIE BARTON!
WOW. JUST. WOW!
Que maravilla de espectáculo !!!!
Wowwww ❤
Oh, my Lord! My heart is pounding! Glorious!

I'm smitten ! I just purchased her "All Who Wander" . Wonderful
She ate Fernand.

brilliant - both technically and in terms of interpretation. Bravo! :)
Thats beautiful voice
Who next sung Verdi in this video?
tremenda mujer,no lo digo por su tamano sino por su voz
Come to Australia and sing!
2:52 - 3:07 I burst in to tears.
Такая красивая длинная выразительная каденция на большом свободном дыхании!
quelle voix!!!!, c'est de l'émotion d'un bout à l'autre
Vocally and dramatically she knows what she is doing.
Imagine how she will ace Amneris/Eboli many years down the road!
Bravissima
God! I love her already!
amazing!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
bravaaaaaaaaaaaa great BIG high note brava !
OMG, i don't no what to say, she's amazing.. good low notes y high...

Herrliche Stimme aus attraktiver Körperfülle ‼️👍❤️
😍😍😍

the successor of Merylin Horne!!!!!!!!!1
She is quite unique...no need for compare her with others!
I wish Jamie all the best in the Cardiff competition! She deserves to win.

Goodness gracious!!! Just knocked out - and I don't even like opera...!
👏👏👏❤❤❤
HER FENENA IN "NABUCCO" IS THE ONLY DECENT SOLOIST ON STAGE. THE OTHER SOLOISTS WERE DISMAL ESPECIALLY THE BASS.
Wow!!
Bravo!
Beautiful! In Moscow it was amasing
Magnificent!
OMG!
Brava!!!
wa.. 대박 wonderful
Bravisima!!!!
Et mangé beaucoup se e burger aussi
Listen to her winning the Cardiff singer of the world 2013. That might change your opinion.
Waw
I simply don't agree. Her production is perfect for her voice.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
WOW!!!
Certainly, Barton reminds Horne.
Nothing wrong with park n bark here; amazing!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
OMG 2:51
check out 06:17, coloratur pitches from a mezzo-soprano! phewww!
Close your eyes and hear Marilyn Horne.
Nick Malinowski no, Horne is way too nasal for any good.
With more finesse in phrasing, by eliminating the constant forte tones, she should be
able to establish herself as a Mezzo of quality.
You obviously were not listening when she exhibited the delicious diminuendo.
who were the 9 people who did not like this
+operadoc People with no ears for music obviously.
