My wife and I saw this opera in Vienna when Alma was 11 and we laughed and cried. Alma has the most amazing ability to put emotion into her music. We feel like we personally know one of history's musical giants, like a Mozart or a Beethoven. A privilege to be alive to see and hear her!
Indeed, a visionary conducting her vision. Thank you for this wonderful preview and plug for Alma. She is indeed a brilliant, wonderful person and artist of music and everyone would be immersed in a joyously magical wonderland who would go!
While watching several videos of Alma I notice that she is a lovely person capable of doing wonderful things in and with music. Really nice to see the orchestra following her lead and see how she conducts in a very natural way
17 yr old conducting an adult orchestra. What an achievement & conducting her own music. Only a composer will know what he/she wants the music to sound like. Good luck Alma.
The residents of the Bay Area will be the envy of the world. Sadly, I am too old to travel the 8,000 miles to see the opera. Alma is the greatest musical talent of my lifetime and perhaps of all time.
I don’t think this needs encouragement. Anybody who understands from music knows that this is a phenomenon and her music is not only beautiful but also therapeutic.
A remarkable talent. It will be interesting to see how she develops as a composer. Miss Deutcher says she wants to bring melody back into classical music, a fine ambition, though I hope it doesn't mean she wants to take music back to the 19th C. I hope her mentors/teachers are encouraging her to listen to all sorts of music and all sorts of styles. I believe now is the time for this young prodigy to branch out and and show us all what she can dousing a more modern, progressive style of melody and harmony - there are plenty of good tunes in Britten, Tippett, Shostokovich, Bartok etc etc. I await her next effort.
You should hear what she did with the Waltz of the Sirens. Blew right through Gershwin's "American in Paris", in that he used city-like sounds, but only in the introduction: in Almas' first waltz (of the medley); they were also eventually woven into the main theme in an ingenious way.
I am still eagerly waiting for her 1st symphony. In the meantime, however, I composed 3 symphonies of my own, available on my channel. Anyone reading this, you might like it.
I truly wish her well, and I hope she finds her own voice in the near future, but there is nothing memorable about this opera. I saw it live in San Jose, and she conducted. Kudos to her for that. But no opera house will be performing this fifty years from now. It is devoid of musical interest and originality. I am not a modernist complaining about tonality. I love tonality. What I don't love is a lack of melodic memorability. I haven't heard anyone humming one of her melodies. There is nothing memorable about her music. Please find your voice, Alma.
She has a lovely gift from the Lord. God has given us so many amazing gifts, sights, experiences. On a side note --- ridiculous for so many in the symphony to be wearing those unhealthy masks.
Not all conductors are also the composers of the pieces they’re conducting. On top of that, not all conductors are Masters of playing instruments, which with piano and violin, Alma is.
There are hundreds of thousands of us on earth who would love to be there, and there will only be a very few who will actually have this privilege. If what you say is true and they are having trouble selling tickets, there is a serious problem with the people of California!
@@luc5798 Actually I believe that they are sold out with the planned performance and opened up a new set of performances to give more people a chance to attend.
@@yogajedi3337 "ride on the prodigy hype", do you think that's what she did? No, she is a prodigy, it is true! But she has a fantastic talent and it is her talent and the beauty of what she composes that makes her successful. She will always be a prodigy anyway, all her life. All the great composers and musicians are prodigies...

Imagine being lucky enough to be alive to witness the genius of Alma from the age of two to 17 and beyond 👍💕🌎
The fact that all the best musicians in the history of the world had a non USA origen isn't a coincidence.
I just keep Frank Sinatra and that's all.

I'm jealous! She is truly a phenomenon. Love her?

I hope this new version will be available to view online or on DVD like the first version. Alma is amazing.
Absolutely, this is not just a California event, it is a world event. And the online viewing should be pay-to-view.
It comes available on line this Saturday.
Available on Alma’s channel starting this Saturday.
Free at this time.

Ditto old boy but we're there in spirit.
I lived in Los Gatos, just a few miles from San Jose, for years. But moved halfway across the country. Damn!
Well, if you can’t listen an opera you might like to listen some of my symphonies and symphonic ballet fantasias available on my channel. ❤
I’ll be attending! Can’t wait!! 😁
Alma Deutscher is very good. Please support her by attending her concerts and listening to her music as much as you can.

Her latest item in Austria is half opera, half musical, and a bit of deliberately lousy modern. I hope it comes to the states soon.

Can wait to go!!!!
Oh how I wish Opera Memphis would bring her her to this region of the country.
Will Helen take up Alma’s previous roles in the show?
Good question!
One can only hope. I miss Helen!
I am still eagerly waiting for her 1st symphony. In the meantime, however, I composed 3 symphonies of my own, available on my channel. Anyone reading this, you might like it.
Well done!
Beautiful!
Thanks.I have done what you suggest.
Let's hope that they do a better job recording it this time in modern sound instead of the fake surround from Sony last time.
Conductor's chair??!?

All conductors are prodigies, just ask them

The people call her a prodigy, not Alma.
@@louisegogel7973 Andre Rieu is the biggest genius of them all, in history.
And a good friend of her friend Amira Willighagen.
Ticket sales apparently needs a boost.

@@luc5798 Alma is almost an adult now, now she has to stand on her own merits and cannot ride on the child prodigy hype as she used to do.
I bought my ticket! It wasn’t cheap but it’s worth every cent to see her conduct her own work.

Fun fact she doesnt really like to be called a prodigy
No
Sorry, but there is nothing interesting about her music. It will be forgotten 20 years from now.
She looks like thunberg
