Incredible. You can’t really hear it but we the audience went nuts before he ended the aria! Thank you, Mr. Meachem for giving one of the most memorable performances I have experienced at the opera.
Bravo! I learn so much from watching not only these wonderful live performances but also your TH-cam videos of warm-up routines, etc. Seeing the notification of this video last night (before watching it just now) prompted me to sing the Prologo during my practice session today. I'm a lyric baritone who'll never sing Tonio in public, but you inspire me to try things to stretch myself--and my Prologo today was much better than the last time I tried it, however many years ago. Oh--and the "La speranza Challenge" is hysterical! We mustn't take ourselves too seriously, right? I loved your trying the various "pointers" people sent in!
Really nice musicality and phrasing! You’re a great artist. Please, take your time with this repertoire! The music is so much bigger than us and we can only dream of doing it justice. I looks forward to your work in the future!
it's like I knew from the get go that the high notes were going to be glorious, and indeed they were! Would love to hear you do the whole role. Great job!
This was truly outstanding! One of the very best prologos I've heard - ever. Your acting was also original and exemplary and the high notes impressive. I just have one quibble: signozzi (sighs). You chose to make this fortissimo. While it did make a strong impression musically, I don't think this justifies singing it loudly instead of softly - especially if you could do a downward portamento showing an actual sigh. Maybe you could think about this for next time. But, anyway, as I said, I was mightily impressed by your consummate performance which definitely places you among today's greatest baritones! Congratulations.
LM brings his own thumb print to this aria. He brings a fresh, personal characterisation and really acts it well. LM works at his art and is an outstanding artist. Tonio is an interesting character to play and I'm sure LM could play the whole of this role superbly if he decided to. (Actually I don't know whether he has played the full role to date.) Congratulations!
You are one of my favorite baritones! You are a huge inspiration for me, especially because I feel I am in a similar situation that you were in university with the high notes. I can't wait to hear you live, i'm sure it will sound incredible!
Hi Sir Lucas , Bravissimo Magnifico , You have studied allot different opera singers , and you have found techniques that works so good for you , which such a power build up in the singing , to hold the voice for so long notes singing, the end was perfect. You sing with such grace , great posture . You have mastered opera the essence , the inner quore of singing opera . Do great rehab voice training, every day you go for a walk and sing with low voice when walking , like jogging in a slow pace . Do strenght training also well balanced training, rowing machine intervalls , cycling longer in a slower speed , Chi Gong in the morning , pepparmint Tea lighter brew not strong , stress relief through swimming. Do things that gives you calm after a great show , read books , and you study opera singers that is good. You have your own style your techniques for singing , you give much to the listener , a nice journey through sound feeling emotions. Have a Great September month, Warm Greetings from Helsingborg Sweden
A superb well focused baritone voice. In my humble opinion needing a bit more colour and cupo at times with the first E a bit open for my taste but an amazing top A flat and G at the end. Bravo.
Wow nice you are putting this aria out. Its hard, requires a lot of stamina. It sounds grear but I have to say that, in contrast with other arias i have hears from you, I feel you are more ‘playing’ the big baritone singer here, than having the words drive your performance. I know youtube critique. Anyway hope t hear more of this stuff in the futute 🌷
A stonking baritone voice well focused. In my humble opinion needing a bit more colour and cupo with the first top E a little open for my taste but a superb top A flat and G at the end. Bravo.
@@LucasMeachem1 it’s no criticism Lucas. You have a superb instrument. I’ve just been watching your masterclass. You were fantastic with those students if I may say. Encouraging and confidence building with first-rate technical advice. Also enjoying your comparison videos too. All the best.

A beautiful and exciting performance of one of the greatest of baritone arias. Surprising so many in the audience weren't aware of how this aria ends.
Really nice musicality and phrasing! You’re a great artist. Please, take your time with this repertoire! The music is so much bigger than us and we can only dream of doing it justice. I looks forward to your work in the future!
Thank you, Lucas. One of the arias I dreamed to hear from you. It was amazing!
it's like I knew from the get go that the high notes were going to be glorious, and indeed they were! Would love to hear you do the whole role. Great job!
Great Performance. Amazing Voice.
Bravo, amazing voice, Lucas
Lucas, it was so good to wath you on opening night and in the park. You made m e smile, especially channeling Freddie Mercury! 'Love your "si può!
This was truly outstanding!
One of the very best prologos I've heard - ever.
Your acting was also original and exemplary and the high notes impressive.
I just have one quibble: signozzi (sighs).

Thank you for the captions and translation! So wonderful! I laughed out loud in the beginning!
And I love the conductor! She is great too!

Bravo Lucas! Beautifully sung.
So fun and amazing! Thanks for the performance Lucas!
You are one of my favorite baritones! You are a huge inspiration for me, especially because I feel I am in a similar situation that you were in university with the high notes. I can't wait to hear you live, i'm sure it will sound incredible!

Do great rehab voice training, every day you go for a walk and sing with low voice when walking , like jogging in a slow pace .

You have your own style your techniques for singing , you give much to the listener , a nice journey through sound feeling emotions.
Have a Great September month,
Warm Greetings from Helsingborg Sweden
A superb well focused baritone voice. In my humble opinion needing a bit more colour and cupo at times with the first E a bit open for my taste but an amazing top A flat and G at the end. Bravo.
These are very small points probably based on personal taste. It is great singing!
Bravo.
Sir Lukas doesn’t need any advice.
Whatever he is doing sounds pretty good to me.
Perhaps Rigoletto is in the future.
Yes, that’s how it’s done! Bravo!!!!
Bravooo!!!! 👏👏👏👏
Holy crap, this is amazing!
Rather more gesticulatory than I'm used to in concert. Fine singing
A Master class in bad ass!!! Silly good
He sounds a bit like Hvorostovsky here. Making the reaction video seems to have left a mark ;)
Immense. Beautiful.
Bravo!!!!
Amazing , i'm learning Belcore from L'elisir d'amore. You inspire me, thank's. That's difficult ,but i'm trying
Thank you, best of luck with that, great role!
@@LucasMeachem1Thank you!
Класний баритон! Приємний для слуху.
Very well sung.
I thought “E voi, piuttosto, che le nostre povere gabbane d’istrioni” was particularly great!
Bravo
5:14 look how in-synch Lucas and the conductor are....Bravo!!
Bravo🤗👏👏👏
Bravissimo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥲

Legit statement. I hear that too. I might try that next time. Some older baritones sing it bright so I’m still experimenting with that note.
@@LucasMeachem1 it’s no criticism Lucas. You have a superb instrument. I’ve just been watching your masterclass. You were fantastic with those students if I may say. Encouraging and confidence building with first-rate technical advice. Also enjoying your comparison videos too. All the best.
@@LucasMeachem1 the older baritones were aways right, wonderful top notes, wish i had been there
Oh heck yeah can’t watch now but saved for later!
11/10 with extra points for the spray! 😆
seriously - this is just brilliant. the singing and acting - really tremendous.
Why are you singing with a microphone?
It’s to broadcast the livestream … no amplification was in the house
It was awesome but Queen *slayed*
here is the baritone power is perfect
Amaizing....but....would his voice carry in an OPEN SPACE....as the voice of The Great Tetrazzini did...She sang in San Francisco and her voice was heard by THOUSANDS and BLOCKS AWAY...
...Auditorium / Teathers are ACOUSTICALLY DESIGNED TO AMPLIFIED THE SOUND...
...and that was not the CASE OF TETRAZZINI....
....What was the MAGIC THAT ALLOWED SINGER OF THE PAST TO SING WITH HUGE VOICES....
....What was that MAGIC?....
If today's technique is better....Where are the HUGE VOICES OF THE PAST....
BRAVO!!
