My dear Friend Danielle de Niese from INGTK

[immature0916]

the singing was very amateur!!! sounds like my 12yr old niece singing....

[KriBlackRoson]

that laugh is so ironic hahaha gosh, loving it, still could be better, her voice and acting was soooo great, but I know wshe can give much more xD

[MisSty2589]

Why Despina seems like a mistress and Fiordiligi and Dorabella seem like maids? It's the opposite! weird! :s

Despite that, this Despina sings very well ^^

[candacecromson]

The acting is great.

[cartoonandanime]

after this i love her for ever

[gellibeangurl]

i understand that it's a full production, but just based on the style and look of it, it looks cheaper, in my opinion, than what I usually expect from a full production.

[gellibeangurl]

it looks like a scenes production more so than a fully staged production.

[vankan0]

Why would you think that? It is a fully staged production, but only a couple of scenes appear here at YouTube.

[materialmyra]

Her technique is better shown in her Handel arias album. Much more legato and with the bel canto technique!

[Diegooover]

Di pasta simili son tutti cuanti!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gclef2288]

top is great....the middle and bottom need some work. WHERE IS LEGATO????

[idraote]

beautiful woman, nice voice, clear and full, she moves well on stage (such a horrid stage, by the way).

her pronunciation is excellent, one does not understand she's not italian but she could work on it even more to express the full meaning of da ponte

[otterhouse]

Ik had deze op tv gemist. Alleen de Don Giovanni had ik helemaal gezien. Ensenering van die don giovanni was niet helemaal geslaagd. Ik heb ooit Mono della luna van Haydn gezien met opera zuid. Daar zaten ook van die "foutjes" in (je kunt achter op het toneel niet sync met het orkest komen. Maar die voorstelling overtuigde verder wel. De don giovanni was soms zo inconsequent, dat die regie niet overtuigde. Volgens mij heef danielle geen stemlessen meer nodig hoor... (otterhouse) Rolf

[vankan0]

Ik heb alle drie de ensceneringen live gezien en de Don Giovanni vond ik verreweg de minste. Jammer voor de zangers, zij konden er weinig aan doen. Così vond ik een feest, met name dank zij Sally Matthews (Fiordiligi), Luca Pisaroni (Guglielmo) en Danielle de Niese (Despina).

[Chilair1]

She needs a few more voice lessons.

[SopranoJessi]

I would totally love to hear your reasons for why you think she needs a few more voice lessons. I think all singers should continue to study regardless of success, so I do agree. But really, what in your opinion does she need to work on?

[Chilair1]

She doesn't sing with ease. She makes it sound hard. Its not that she isn't talented, she obviously is. ITs just her technique isn't as strong.

[TenoreNikolasM]

complimnenti cara collega...!!

[SopranoJessi]

I LIKE her voice. I don't know why ppl don't like it. I'm curious though why ppl think she doesn't have a good voice though. Please post your reasons. Perhaps her voice isn't as full and strong but she definately forms beautiful vowel, especially her [a] vowels

[vitellia]

Me too! I find her voice more than pleasant and instantly recognizable. It has a plenty of volume (for her repertoire) and is agile enough. Her very top range (when she got adventurous with da capo ornaments in Handel) does sound strained, but in general, I think she's more than respectable. I think all the media hypes around her and her pretty face actually damage her reputations as a serious lyric singer.

[EricArceneaux]

Without a doubt, people hold her beauty against her. Prejudice comes in many forms.

[filippasavonari]

Actually, she holds her voice against herself...

[yesblanche]

I totally agree with you! She is wonderful yet so many opera fans are so cruel in their assessment of her gifts.

[SugarTomAppleRoger]

@vitellia A pretty face, a beautiful voice, a lovely and charm personality. What more do we want? I really like her.

[podkivanok]

The voice is indeed not very good... I like her videos more than audios, because she is a good actress and has charisma.

[grubiforever]

great and cute..ma vocalmente non ha proprio nulla di impressionante!

[gransasso101]

NO VOICE!

[andrecardi]

What a stupid (and ignorant) comment!

[RosaPudelProductions]

i love this woman =) she's great^^

[RosaPudelProductions]

xD the stage and the costumes are great xDD

[magicbrother]

nice interpretation...!

[rapiddominace]

wouldn't mind having her walking around in my kitchen in that outfit

[alejandra379]

very good, she has all the spice for that aria.

[dernieremode]

I think Danielle de Niese is one of the best Despinas to date, she is very charming

[NART65]

@dernieremode One of the best is Ileana Cotrubas fabulous Romanian Soprano.

[burcusoysev]

Great Despina!!!!

[benozzo71]

Cute Despina!
