@broccoliaka3 It is sad. It's all around here, great operatic arias as well as much classical music gets very few views. This excellent interpretation of this beautiful aria at least gets 600,000 views. There are some amazing performances here that don't even get a 1000 views including those by Kiri te Kanawa, but many other great singers too. People just don't know classical music, and very few people like opera these days, many don't even know what it is. It's sad.
La verdad que esta soprano fue sobrepagada y sobreestimada. No es tan grandiosa ni mucho menos. En mi opinion es "justo lo que debia ser", pero nada magnifica.
@robertas2391 This is classical music. Giacomo Puccini is a composer, he wasn't "composed" he composed music. He is dead, but the music he wrote is alive. His operas are still performed in all opera theaters all over the world, his arias are performed in concert. Why? You only listen to music of composers that are alive? BTW - some singers are dead to and we have their recordings.
" O mio babbino caro " - What it means ? - I know the answer ! In italian, it means " Oh my dear dad " . Nobody did tha question . Happy Christmas to all of you . ( an old brasilian man, from Brazil )
Hello everybody! My name is German. I was surfing in internet when I saw a nice kid singing two amazing songs; Caruso & Nessun Dorma. He sings super! If you want to see him, you must put in the youtube search: Guido Aberastain! He sings really amazing
I was very lucky to get to see her performing alive. She´s absolutely magnificent and her voice is so powerful, stil to tender and touching. I remember I cried with every aria she performed.
Listen to all of the other singers posted on youtube who sing this song...and then go to Jackie Evancho in Houston, and hear the most elegant, sublime version you've ever heard...and she's only 11.
@nailycai If you haven't listened to this 11 year old's performance of this song...then I can understand why you wouldn't get that there's more to the beauty of a classical music piece than just knowing what it's about. And if you've listened to it, well then, you have no clue what true inspiration is.
Talk about the dumbing down of every art form by mass culture...blech. I hope the kid does well, I hope she learns to sing like an adult rather than imitating some base idea of what "opera" should sound like. I wish her no ill at all. But it really does make me cringe when I hear people comparing a novelty act like hers to somebody like Kanawa.
@nailycai i prefer a girl's version than that of a woman's version for the simple reason that this song is supposed to be sung by a girl who is in love with a boy. not, sorry to say, an old and fat woman who sings this song because she is more mature and thus able to get the role in opera. opera should change [others have already put in mikes] so that girls can sing this song in opera. old and fat women [sorry] have their places in opera, but please, don't sing this song. you look silly.
@basakboy - you really ought to stick with the Back Street Boyz or, maybe, your comb and tissue paper. You have no clue about real singing or women. I'm surprised, though, that you spend the hour your mother lets you use the computer like this.
@hcb7562011 so you like old and fat women singing girl's song? good for you. not my type, though, even if i get as old as them. i like girls [hayley, jackie, etc.] who are old enough to make this song believable. i saw this opera once. it was laughable watching a fat middle age soprano singing to her father who was fatter but younger than her.
@basakboy You consider a 10-year old singing how she'll throw herself into the river if she can't marry a boy believable? As to opera putting in mikes - unless you actually have been to opera and heard how much more beautiful the unamplified voice is you've no clue what you are talking about. Opera is "music first than words" and then looks. You don't see the details of faces from most of the seats btw, still there are many slim and beautiful opera singers. Check out Nadine Sierra singing this.
@jewelmarkess believable because they married young those days. not "beautiful" when they shout their songs over the orchestra trying to reach the people at the back. the orchestra should be at the back of the stage or put mics. would be better to stage opera at stadia. more people, bigger revenues but lower ticket prices, better pay for performers. no need to jump to crossover for better pay - already there. nadine is nearing 30. so she's already old and getting stouter for the role.
@basakboy 1. They didn't marry at 10. Maybe at 14, but not at 10. They certainly wen't falling in love at 10. 2. You clearly have never been to opera. Projection has nothing to do with just being loud. Opera singers are heard when they sing pianissimo. Nadine was 21 in 2009. Really, until you actually listen to how unamplified voices sound like you have no clue what you are talking about.Also, in opera orchestra is in front but also slightly below, it helps with acoustics.
@basakboy Google "how opera singers are heard over much louder orchestra" - there is an article by a physicist explaining it. It has nothing to do with shouting. Also, there is more to singing in opera than just being heard: there is phrasing, good legato lines, diction, expressiveness. Classical singing technique allows singers to be effortless even in very difficult passages, so that they can express better, also it allows them to survive a full opera. You don't understand opera.
@nailycai I don't understand Italian, and until recently I didn't know where this piece came from, or how it "should" be sung. The only thing I know is, I've listened to it performed by many professional adult singers, and listening to an 11 year old sing it, makes me feel better than all of those other singers. And when I listen to any kind of music, I do it because of the feeling I get. I would imagine it's the same for you...right?
If you are suggesting that a person is ignorant when they are moved and inspired by listening to a beautiful song sung by a talented artist, then you don't even know what MUSIC is. I would reevaluate your perspective.
@143paramore143 really?you can't diss classical music it's been popular for hundreds of years. rock is pretty good i have to say, but classical is beautiful.maybe someday some rock music is going to be forgotten.and if u dont like this why did u look it up and watch it?and u shouldnt really write that here especially when most people here would disagree with u and just argue with u.dont u even think about arguing with me cuz i dont wanna take this any farther.thx.:)
@143paramore143 It's easy to love this music, it relaxs you and lets you drift IMHO. I also love Rock & roll music lots of screaming guitars-huge EC fan, but I also like country music and a little hip hop and reggae. I say long live music what ever type you love.
She says "l'anello" in a childish - very appropriate - manner; and the "vorrei morir" is the same... how a child can understend death?
I've listened for dozend versions. Never found an "ideal", but this is near. No Callas, no Tebaldi, no Scotto, no etcetera. This is NOT an aria for a primadonna! This is not Tosca or Butterfly! A little opera, a little role, a little woman, a little character.
Sorry for my english. I'm italian, my father is from Toscana... I know Puccini, Lucca and Florence.
i have heard so many people trying to hit the higher notes in this song and just end up screeching it at the top of their lungs and totally ruining the brillance and beauty of this song, but her voice is beautiful and lets me fully appreciate the peice
Beautiful voice Kiri te Kanawa an please go here in youtube Naomi Montero o mio babbino caro and time to say goodbye this little girl sings like an angel
@bluebean52 Personally? I like Leontyne Price singing it very much and although she is a bit of an acquired taste I loved Victoria De Los Angeles recording too. There are others, I'd have to think about it.
@RainPoetry It's excellent, but I prefer Maria Callas. I'm not saying 1 is better than the other, it's just a personal preference. Actually, as I was writing this & listening, I am kinda getting 2nd thoughts!, hahaha
@gjc82071 I've even tried listening to Maria Callas' but something is missing. :P It's just me. I'm no opera fan, but I first heard this in the opening of the film 'A Room With A View.' Just incredible. The theme is used throughout the film, but Dame Kiri te Kanawa's vocals are almost otherworldly. She has a very unique quality in her voice which even this non-opera fan can distinguish.
@RainPoetry I think the issue with Callas is that the clip of O mio babbino caro here is taken long after she's lost her voice. Also, even opera fans are divided on Callas, I like her, but mostly for her artistry rather than the beauty of the voice, but many find her voice a bit harsh. Kiri te Kanawa's voice is beautiful. BTW - if you like this, there may well be other opera selections you'd enjoy. Operas are all different too - even opera fans like some operas and dislike others.
This has always been my favourite opera song ever since I heard it, and Kiri Kanawa just brings the house down! Ever time I hear her sing this song in particular I always turn into a child again. It's too beautiful! It should be illegal!
@kaisi Sarah Brightman is fake to me in almost every way. She tries too hard, where as, you will watch Kiri's performances and you KNOW that she feels them from the heart.
@kaisi for me Angela Giorgio is the absolute best! And Anna Nutrebko! I'm going to see Angela with Domingo in a couple of months :-D I sing opera as well so I can NOOOOOOT wait! hahaa!
@jenson7720 Yes, my mother used to be an opera singer, she started at 14 in the school choir. When she went to college is when she discovered it. She's sung this piece over and over, her commentary on J.E. is that she had parts of the Italian pronounced incorrectly, and that what only made her special was her age. Takes a lot to do this.
Jackie vocal coach Yvie Burnett trained as an operatic mezzosoprano, and sung professionally with the Welsh National Opera .Burnett uses Estill Voice Training techniques.EVT is a programme for developing vocal skills based on deconstructing the process of vocal production into control of specific structures in the vocal mechanism.By acquiring the ability to consciously move each structure the potential for controlled change of voice quality is increased. I hope this helps
All do respect Does your mother also resent young kids singing Opera arias, All Great singers started as youth such as Beverly Sill and Julie Andrews. The Beauty of Jackie's Genius is to inspire young kids to listen to classical music. Discrediting a 11 year child is a losing proposition. Many classical musicians are proud to work with Jackie. I hope your mother can see her live Oct 16 at the Pittsburgh Opera house. There will have the chance the power that emanates of her
@phantomoperarox Does it matter if parts of the Italian were pronounced incorrectly... I don't understand any of the words anyway...so it doesn't matter. All I know is...Jackie Evancho's voice and delivery brings me peace and joy whenever I hear it. She could sing the phone book...and it would be lovely. And I don't care how old she is.
Try to generate 32 million viewers and Obtain a record deal Sony records.
Surely you have more experience and talent than a young 11 year child. There are auditions at Britain Got Talent, Send you talented student Amie Dyer, they accept applications for classical singers.
Jackie has a right to sing Puccini's arias, Matter if fact her rendition of Nessum Dorma was viewed by millions on "Britain Got Talent" Ask Simon Cowell a fellow Brit
No excessive vibrato here; nothing overdone. Gentle, pure, elegant form. This is as lovely as it can possibly be. A singer at the top of her craft displaying absolute perfection. This is the Gold Standard.
@RagingMango2009 Although Kiri probably sings it as well as Puccini could have desired, a few months ago I discovered another wonderful singer named Sissel. Not as developed an operatic voice, she is charming, however, and even Placido singled her out to sing with her on some pieces. If you haven't seen her yet, check her out here on YouTube. Her O mio... and Pie Jesu are enchanting... or maybe it is just that she is so sexy. I suppose that counts for something too!
@KingOfErehwon I agree than Sissel has an enchanting voice but I fear that you are judging somewhat south of your ears. But, hell, that is why we all love Maria as well. Great voice, but combine that with sexiness and you have a legend. Come to think of it, do we remember Cleopatra or Helen of Troy for their intellect
I love Kiri, I love Callas, and I love a rising star named Barbara Padilla. She shocked everyone on America's Got Talent and has the voice to make it big. She's also beautiful to watch.
I saw her in person and she sang this as her encore. She had sung it in the opening credits of Room With a View. Her voice is so beautiful and her looks are positively regal - a great presence.
Hello everyone! If you are studying this aria I have an accompaniment and a diction video done by a professional company for study on my channel here on youtube. I hope you will take full advantage of it! =) Cheers!
YOW! How beautiful was that? Remember when that aria was used on TV in the Tott's champagne ad? I was too dumb to know what "song" it was, but I only bought Tott's from then on. I later worked for an opera singer in a menial job, but she had a great sense of humor and I "made" her sing that and "Un Bel Di" to me before I would I would pick up the mop. Thanks, Sheila!
@junglegrllll YOW! We are just soooo impressed that you used to work for an opera singer in a menial job! Did you pay taxes or were you still working under the table? Just asking...
With all due respect, in Opera, the correct term is aria and not song. Yes, this aria was whistled by Woodstock in She's a Good Skate Charlie Brown. Te Kanawa also sang this aria in the movie " Room With a View ". Great voice!!!
I love Dame Kiri. The wonderful thing about youtube is the comparative listening that you can do. I do not wish to get into an argument as to the merits of Maria, Renata, Montserrat, Joan, Renee or Anna, to name but a few. I love them all. But what you can definitively say is that the efforts of those who are not classically trained opera singers are on a different, and, I am afraid, a much lower level.
The voice quality of Callas and Kiri is so different that comparing them is like comparing orange and apple. You can't choose one over the other because both are good and delicious. Which one is *better* simply depends on personal preference and what you feel like to have at a particular moment.
"Babbino" is second only to "Depuis le jour" as my favorite operatic aria. It is perhaps the clearest and most forthright example of the incomparable Puccini's wonderful ability to craft a soaring melody that can stir the heart and touch the soul of even the person who incorrectly claims to have no innate musicality.

@RainPoetry It's excellent, but I prefer Maria Callas. I'm not saying 1 is better than the other, it's just a personal preference. Actually, as I was writing this & listening, I am kinda getting 2nd thoughts!, hahaha

@gjc82071 I've even tried listening to Maria Callas' but something is missing. :P It's just me. I'm no opera fan, but I first heard this in the opening of the film 'A Room With A View.' Just incredible. The theme is used throughout the film, but Dame Kiri te Kanawa's vocals are almost otherworldly. She has a very unique quality in her voice which even this non-opera fan can distinguish.
RainPoetry 9 months ago
@RainPoetry I think the issue with Callas is that the clip of O mio babbino caro here is taken long after she's lost her voice. Also, even opera fans are divided on Callas, I like her, but mostly for her artistry rather than the beauty of the voice, but many find her voice a bit harsh. Kiri te Kanawa's voice is beautiful. BTW - if you like this, there may well be other opera selections you'd enjoy. Operas are all different too - even opera fans like some operas and dislike others.

Kiri, has the most amazing and polished voice of all sopranos. Her phrasing emotions are spot on.

This has always been my favourite opera song ever since I heard it, and Kiri Kanawa just brings the house down! Ever time I hear her sing this song in particular I always turn into a child again. It's too beautiful! It should be illegal!

@jenson7720 Yes, my mother used to be an opera singer, she started at 14 in the school choir. When she went to college is when she discovered it. She's sung this piece over and over, her commentary on J.E. is that she had parts of the Italian pronounced incorrectly, and that what only made her special was her age. Takes a lot to do this.

Jackie vocal coach Yvie Burnett trained as an operatic mezzosoprano, and sung professionally with the Welsh National Opera .Burnett uses Estill Voice Training techniques.EVT is a programme for developing vocal skills based on deconstructing the process of vocal production into control of specific structures in the vocal mechanism.By acquiring the ability to consciously move each structure the potential for controlled change of voice quality is increased. I hope this helps

All do respect Does your mother also resent young kids singing Opera arias, All Great singers started as youth such as Beverly Sill and Julie Andrews. The Beauty of Jackie's Genius is to inspire young kids to listen to classical music. Discrediting a 11 year child is a losing proposition. Many classical musicians are proud to work with Jackie. I hope your mother can see her live Oct 16 at the Pittsburgh Opera house. There will have the chance the power that emanates of her

@phantomoperarox Does it matter if parts of the Italian were pronounced incorrectly... I don't understand any of the words anyway...so it doesn't matter. All I know is...Jackie Evancho's voice and delivery brings me peace and joy whenever I hear it. She could sing the phone book...and it would be lovely. And I don't care how old she is.

Try to generate 32 million viewers and Obtain a record deal Sony records.
Surely you have more experience and talent than a young 11 year child. There are auditions at Britain Got Talent, Send you talented student Amie Dyer, they accept applications for classical singers.
Jackie has a right to sing Puccini's arias, Matter if fact her rendition of Nessum Dorma was viewed by millions on "Britain Got Talent" Ask Simon Cowell a fellow Brit

No excessive vibrato here; nothing overdone. Gentle, pure, elegant form. This is as lovely as it can possibly be. A singer at the top of her craft displaying absolute perfection. This is the Gold Standard.

@RagingMango2009 Although Kiri probably sings it as well as Puccini could have desired, a few months ago I discovered another wonderful singer named Sissel. Not as developed an operatic voice, she is charming, however, and even Placido singled her out to sing with her on some pieces. If you haven't seen her yet, check her out here on YouTube. Her O mio... and Pie Jesu are enchanting... or maybe it is just that she is so sexy. I suppose that counts for something too!
KingOfErehwon 11 months ago
@KingOfErehwon I agree than Sissel has an enchanting voice but I fear that you are judging somewhat south of your ears. But, hell, that is why we all love Maria as well. Great voice, but combine that with sexiness and you have a legend. Come to think of it, do we remember Cleopatra or Helen of Troy for their intellect

YOW! How beautiful was that? Remember when that aria was used on TV in the Tott's champagne ad? I was too dumb to know what "song" it was, but I only bought Tott's from then on. I later worked for an opera singer in a menial job, but she had a great sense of humor and I "made" her sing that and "Un Bel Di" to me before I would I would pick up the mop. Thanks, Sheila!

With all due respect, in Opera, the correct term is aria and not song. Yes, this aria was whistled by Woodstock in She's a Good Skate Charlie Brown. Te Kanawa also sang this aria in the movie " Room With a View ". Great voice!!!

I love Dame Kiri. The wonderful thing about youtube is the comparative listening that you can do. I do not wish to get into an argument as to the merits of Maria, Renata, Montserrat, Joan, Renee or Anna, to name but a few. I love them all. But what you can definitively say is that the efforts of those who are not classically trained opera singers are on a different, and, I am afraid, a much lower level.

The voice quality of Callas and Kiri is so different that comparing them is like comparing orange and apple. You can't choose one over the other because both are good and delicious. Which one is *better* simply depends on personal preference and what you feel like to have at a particular moment.

"Babbino" is second only to "Depuis le jour" as my favorite operatic aria. It is perhaps the clearest and most forthright example of the incomparable Puccini's wonderful ability to craft a soaring melody that can stir the heart and touch the soul of even the person who incorrectly claims to have no innate musicality.
