I'm so thrilled and moved by the fact that elementary school students are going to a screening of the opera. We're sooo smug here in NYC and think we live in the center of the universe, but I bet there's not a single school student here who will attend a performance of an opera. Brava, Ms. Hill!
I went to celebrate my 54th birthday all by myself on Saturday, January 28 at the Met hoping to see Placido Domingo and witness his marvel in the opera, however, I was mesmerized by all of you and your performance...I am a part time college professor and would love to take my students to the opera...thus giving them more culture than just classes to find a job...the arts is needed to become an intellectual and appreciative of all things human.
I just went to the performance yesterday, and I AM STILL ASTOUNDED. Absolute artistry and beauty on stage last night! Could not have asked for anything better in an opera.
I am a Brazilian singer and I understand Mr. Pisaroni concerning English words. We are going to perform "La Grand Duchesse of Gerolstein", by Offenbach, in English and it is pretty hard for me. Thank you, Ms. DiDonato for this wonderful interview!
Oh, the HD was WONDERFUL, I really loved it! And this video is utterly lovely, please, keep them coming! Many interesting aspects of the performance to be discovered. Thank you so much, all the best for you (and Luca as well! you both do an amazing job). Kisses from Argentina!
What a treat! Saw The Enchanted Island on Saturday evening and had so much fun! Enjoyed your performance the most. The emotions, the sound, the expressiveness of the movements in the scenes where Sycorax consoles Caliban took my breath away. Thank you!!
Joyce, thanks! This video was so interesting :) Please do more q&a (about settings, makeup, customs etc) videos. P.S I think you look great as a brunet :D Even one with feathers in her hair!

I found it so interesting about the feathers and the subtle changes in the costuming ... I'll be watching for that myself on the 21st. Thanks Joyce!!
