  • Renowned mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato presents a series of three master classes focusing on opera arias. Here Ms. DiDonato coaches Mezzo-Soprano Ané Pretorius with pianist Shannon McGinnis on Massenet’s “Va! laisse couler mes larmes” from Werther (1892).

    Mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato’s performances have been called “a model of singing in which all components of the art form-technique, sound, color, nuance, diction-come together in service to expression and eloquence” by The New York Times. The revered singer presents a series of three public master classes for young opera singers who were chosen from an international pool of applicants.

    A masterclass is for learning and excavating. It’s not a competition and should not be judged as such. We all have to do this work. There are very few places where opera singers are permitted to be imperfect and the masterclass is one. Getting coached in front of an audience is not easy. Everyone willing to do it deserves respect for allowing us to benefit from the teaching just as much as them.

    What is with some of these comments!! She's on her journey as a musician just like many of you are and were. She was good enough to get accepted to this program. She has a lovely voice, and it's clear to me that she's put lots of time and work into it. So what, she's there to improve so what's wrong with her doing so? Its brave of her to put herself out there like this (on the internet! For young singers to learn from and for all you snobs to see and criticize!)
    Someone said she shouldn't be in music.... And we wonder why people think we're elitists. Dear lord.
    Anyways, lovely job! I love seeing this process and these videos are a great tool.

      Yes sadly TH-cam allows ‘armchair pundits’ to pontificate and proffer acidic ‘critique’ . Strangely none of these “experts” ever seems to have examples of them giving the perfect performance.

    Which of you people commenting about wobble, bad sound, bad teaching, finding something else to do, etc. have actually sung at Carnegie Hall and did a better job than her? Thank you! She has a beautiful voice and lots of charisma. I wish her all the success in the world!

    I always love to hear her comments. In a positive way she informs. Some of you are rather harsh towards this young singer. Give her a break. I see improvement within one master class! Criticism should come from a loving place, honest, but loving

    It’s amazing how Joyce addressed an unrelated subject and all these other improvements can from the student instead of just going after singular issues. Love the approach! I wait for each new teaching series!

    Once she got less nervous and stopped trying to send the sound her wobble practically went away.

    She has a good sound, but a technical problem with the wobble. A good teacher can solve it.

    Natural quality but agree, long way to go yet. And the wobble has to go! Maybe nerves?

    I wish Renee Fleming worked with her instead of Joyce. DiDonato is great at living in the land of "concept", but that's not going to really solve this student's dysfunction...

      Pour avoir assez des émotion dans un chanson ou un aria est très difficile pour un chanteuse comme elle. Pour moi, Je peux voire qu'elle a un idée de la personnage elle chante. Pour vous, il n'est pas assez, mais dans le croissance d'une chanteuse, la technique de voix est la plus important que les émotions. Elle reste un étudiant!

      I think she has a rich sound defenitly. But one aspect of the voice is wrong and not the whole voice. Pobably a bad teacher, who didnt understand voice teaching damaged this voice.
      Very interesting the staccato exercise beginns to repair. Onset open, without clousing the throat.

      A youtube commentator who can't understand that the purpose of a masterclass isn't to give armchair criticisms to the student but to help the student improve doesn't have much business on commenting on videos of a masterclass.
