Well since you wanted an opinion and not just praises. 1- I like the color of your voice, very very pretty, reminds me tremendously of Nana Mouskouri. 2- Your phrasing is interesting, has a bit of jazziness to it, maybe like Renee Fleming.
Now, about technique, overall you sound a bit rushed, maybe try to think of the melody like a taffy that you have to pull...keep it always legato. And your high notes are about squeezed, but other than that very nice and enjoyable :)
I happened up on your videos actually by accident. I heard this, and I fell in love. I think that this most beautiful piece Puccini ever wrote, and you do a beautiful job of it! Keep up the good work. God Bless and Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much! I just listened to you as well and you have a wonderful voice. You sound like Elvis but you also sound like Douglas Sills. A remarkable Broadway tenor. Look up Scarlett Pimpernel, "Into the Fire" Douglas sills. YOu would blow that beautiful song away!
What a difference a studio makes - this recording brings out the fullne timbre and complex subtlety of your voice. You clearly work very hard at your craft, and your love for the music shows in your artistry.
As for the comment upstream about Nessum Dorma being a tenor piece, it has in fact also been sung by sopranos (as a recital number, not as a trouser role) going back to least Deanna Durbin in the 40's.
Thank you for commenting. Sarah Brightman sang this as did Diana Durbin over 50 years ago. Yes, it is a tenor aria! but such a beautiful one... sometimes "us girls" like to give it a try!
Yes it is beautiful. But unfortunately its become an extreme example of a war horse. The tenor popera singers have overdone it enough without help from the sopranos. There is plenty of soprano repetoire. Have you done other Puccini arias such as "Vissi d'arte" or "Mi chiamano Mimi"? You do have a fabulous voice.
I've never been to heaven, so I haven't heard the angels sing. However, I can say that Ms. Breen sings just the way that I have imagined angels singing when they get together and sing. Thank you, Ms. Breen, and thank you, Broadwayzozo.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Every singer wants to hear that they sounded as you described. Again, thank you for listening and for the kind words.
wow beautiful

Thank you for giving us this new video.
As always, it's beautiful.
Don't let anyone tell you a woman can't sing this.
You sound great to me.

This is such a beautiful Aria and it was intended for a tenor.
But some of the great sopranos have performed it over the years.
Thanks for your wonderful support!

The timbre is soprano...the key is mezzo. I suppose the tenor aria attracts more attention than, say, O mio babbino caro...I'm here.
