  • I do love Sarah's voice. I think she has made wise career choices in the types of music she normally sings, and looking after her voice. WRT opera my opinions are similar to those of jewelmarkess a few months ago. I think Domingo's decision to sing this with her in this context is a correct one, because it may attract some of the classical crossover audience to see what opera is like. Opera is expensive. Perhaps some companies could have low price performances for those who have not been before.

  • awesome i wish there was a better quality of this around

  • @geoffphuket

    I do know a reasonable amount about her career and her achievements.

    I also enjoy much of her singing. I am aware that she has had some operatic training.

    Like quite a few other opera lovers, however, I do feel she falls short of most opera sopranos,

    both in this video and elsewhere, nor am I aware of her ever attempting to perform a full opera. I think she is great in much of what she performs. I doubt if she wants to perform full opera as such. If I am ignorant, show me where.:)

  • @operafan0anegnd You are not ignorant you speak truth. Sarah is NOT an opera singer. She has never sung a full opera and I have heard every thing she's ever done. She does sing opera arias(Nessun Dorma etc) but she is a Classical Crossover singer. Her voice has really never been strong enough for true opera singing.

    Plus she makes far more money, and has far more fun, as a globe-trotting Superstar which she likely never would have been as an opera singer.

  • Obviously would not hire Sarah to sing this in the opera, but in a fun concert like this, we should not demand such high standards. She has talent. If she was prepared to put in a lot more training, she might attain a higher standard. Having a go at it in this setting is probably not a bad thing. People with much natural talent should be encouraged to improve themselves. They do need to be aware, they have work to do to sing opera proper.

    Understandable Placido wants excuse to hold her hand. :)

  • @operafan0anegnd Do you know ANYTHING about - at all? Your comment is completely ignorant of her career.

  • @operafan0anegnd I completely agree. I happen to just like her voice very much. And I think this particular performance is definitely one of her stronger completely classical performances.

  • Me encanta Sarah y Placido, grandes ambos!!!. a quienes no les guste, pues bien, pasen de largo y busquense alguien que sí. Talvez encuentren el mismo placer que yo al ver esta presentación. Sarah, Placido me emocionan!!!

  • Just wondering... has she already sung the operatic repertoire on stage without any mike? It would be a complete disaster.

  • @Simdaperce Opera singers don't use mikes. The orchestra is down in front below them so they sing over the top without mikes.

  • @dieseldog00 True! There is something unsavory about this duet. She is young enough to be his granddaughter. Also her face is so distorted to attempt to sing grand opera

  • beautiful..

  • I'm beyond sick and tired of reading all of these prolonged debates about whether or not she's an opera singer!!! Especially the comments in Spanish calling her a deplorable singer! Both of them are exceptionally-great singers, so why can't everyone just be quiet and enjoy the music???

  • @zucchini2007

    You are right. And if somebody dont like Sarahs or Placidos voice, just go away and listen to music you like.

  • Sarah-bella como siempre, maravillosa y exquicita su voz, y plácido sin duda alguna singular registro de voz ^u^

  • @KOKETOMX, si, de verdad, tio? No me digas¡ Joder cuanto enteradillo anda por aqui! Y a ti, quien te paga por estos comentarios?....desde entonces ajo y agua¡...para algunos, claro.

  • @mrdarkeyes1987, a palabras necias oidos sordos¡...ladran Sancho, luego cabalgamos¡ Que mas puedo decir de tu comentario tan estupido e improcedente.

  • i don't care about the commnts that say Sarah isn't better then Maria she is "The word's favorite Soprano".She is the best!!! Love you Sarah <3

  • @Lovett19991 Opera purists think that because she's technically NOT an official opera singer that she can't hold her own in opera but she's definitely proven what she can do here. I'd love to hear her do the mad scene from Lucia di Lammermoor.

  • @musicbox63 "Opera purists" don't judge her by any harsher standards that they would an opera singer, they simply apply the same high standards of excellence. If you look at any opera video you can see that the audience is demanding. Yes, she can hit the notes. Yes, she has a lovely tone. It's not enough. Her diction is bad - I can barely make out the words; and she is not expressing words or music, not communicating what she sings about.

  • @jewelmarkess I agree with that... but however is better for her sings popular music

  • @rey982 Agree.

  • La pareja más cursi de la historia.Patéticos.

  • She is talented, she is not world-class in her category

  • PLACIDO!! TE PAGARON PARA QUE CANTES TU Y NO PARA QUE TU ESCUCHES AL PUBLICO. DESDE ESE ENTONCES COMENZASTE A PERDER EL PISO. SARAH INMACULADA!!

  • AWFUL

  • @kertie159 We already knew that about you. 

  • Comment removed

  • sarah makes me fall asleep compared to other singers, i dunno if thats good or bad.

  • Es evidente que Placido se la come con patatas,pero eso no quita que Sarah canta bien con sus registros,yo por lo menos lo disfruto.Al que no le guste ,no esta obligado ha escucharlo

  • She shakes her head so, its making me dizzy.

  • Sarah is such a talent! Placido Domingo, nuff said! Such beautiful voices!

  • OMG she will faint if she keeps trying...

    she should stick to her own music and leave this to more capable others

  • °_°...x dios_!! qe maravilloso en vdd....sarah..la reina de las reinas y el señor placido domingo , sin duda la mejor version qe he visto de esta aria......

  • brightman-disgusting...

  • @Olenasoprano you--- jealous

  • @MoNyOh no, i just think she could sing pop, because classical music she sings like a chicken. Her vibrato-OMG.. i like how she sang Webber's requiem thats all she sang normally in my opinion

  • @Olenasoprano She can sing whatever she wants. She has the voice for it. THE END.

  • @MoNyOh she can do it, because she has money and she is famous, that's all

  • @Olenasoprano haha, just admit you're jealous of her "olena soprano" lol... I don't care what you say to me, you really sound very jealous XD bet you can't even sing "falalalaaa"

  • @MoNyOh I can't sound like something, because you don't hear me, you just read so..and you know this is funny always after some not prising comment to read comment like-tou're just jelalous..oh..yes I am, because I want to sing all I want with Plasido Domingo and good orchestra without an appropriate voice...

  • @Olenasoprano yah yah, take another week to reply to me, and learn to write a little, it's PLACIDO ;), and I do really hope you sing one day with an appropriate voice, not without it! peace, love, merry xmas, be happy

  • I understand exactly where the critics below are coming from. There vidios will be shown next. Uh well I thought they were next . Uh where are they, no the good ones. What do you mean they dont have a vidio. Damn I thought anyone that knew that much would be on here.

  • ESPECTACULAR!!! Sarah no sólo es bellísima, su voz estremece el alma deleitando todos nuestros sentidos!!!

  • Otherworldly!

  • SARAH BRIGHTMAN!!! THE BEST SINGER EVER!!! AMAZING!!! PERFECT!!!

  • @daniel0Naruto are you actually tone deaf? or comedically challenged?

  • Er macht aber auch wirklich alles für Geld.

  • Placido is in another universe, way higher than Sarah. Her voice is too Flat and soft for this aria... and she is not even performing (actually she almost doesn't move as she is making visible effort singing this.) Any person who knows the role of Violetta (the character that sings this role) understands what I'm saying... Violeta needs a Dramatic timbre.

    Sarah may be great with her own stuff but she is weak when she tries this kind of things.

    Viva Placido!

  • SARAH BRIGHTMAN!!! AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL VOICE = PERFECT!!!

  • SUPER!!!

  • Sarah can do anything and everyting she pleases! I love her!

  • Красотаааааааа!!!!! НЕТ СЛОВ!!!!!СУПЕР!!!!!БРАВО!!!!! Я 99999 человек который смотрит это видео!!!!!

  • Красотаааааааа!!!!! НЕТ СЛОВ!!!!!СУПЕР!!!!!БРАВО

  • She is just not...

  • Not a classic performance to say the least! Opera as show-biz with no respect being paid to the composer is starting to make me sick at heart. This stuff, well meant or not, cheapens great music.

  • He's a sellout and she sucks.

  • @VinylToVideo

    Placido is past his prime; Sarah is still great.

    You are an asshole.

  • @RPenta Get your facts straight ignorant fool. This is "opera" at its worst. Mingo (where's the Do?) never really did have a prime and Brightman is just plain awful; always has been. She has no reason to even be singing this.

  • @AUDIOPHlLE

    Look Audiopilehead: I called him by his first name; maybe you should learn to read. He is on many critics lists of great 20th century tenors-not one of my favorites but that is ok as I am not an opera snob like yourself. As to Sarah she has a good but not great operatic voice and that and her phrasing and orchestration gives her a wide range of material she can do well, some of it awesome well. But her wide range is not as wide as the empty space between your ears.

  • @RPenta He is on many critic's list as an honor to him, and because he is a versatile singer that has sung for many years. And because he is relatively recent compared to the legendary DiStefano Tucker Kraus Melchior and so on. "Better than Bocelli" says nothing. He is prostituting opera, performing with this excuse for a singer. This fad, that completely talentless singers should sing opera...Westernra as Isolde will be the next great operatic event. Domingo and Pavarotti did anything for $.

  • @mozzrt

    You are just one of way too many smug opera snobs who throw darts on great crossover artists like Sarah; you make yourself look like the asshole you are by insisting Sarah Brightman is a "talentless singer". Thanks for helping me make you look like a liar. You certainly play the role well. Buona Notte.

  • @mozzrt Mate, you are an absolute animal,and you

    have not idea about good music and good singers.

    Placido is a very powerous opera singer with a very

    beautifu and versatile voice and now, he needs $

    for nothing. He has enough to live three luxurious

    lifes, and Miss Brightman is an angel and her voice

    is a miracle. Please do not say more nonsenses.

    Fu.. yourself.

  • @circulista No I'm not an animal and I DO understand music and singing which you obviously don't since you are hailing Brightmann. Domingo might be slightly better but he is the most overrated tenor of them all. To name him as the greatest before Caruso, Bjoerling and Tucker is an insult to the art of singing.

    I take it that you are an admirer of such 'voice-ruining' crap as Netrebko, Cura and Milnes while throwing Merrill, Peerce, Gedda and Tibbett at the rubbish-heap?

  • @mozzrt Please, read what I wrote. I don't mention

    Caruso,Börjling, and no one else. May you don't

    like Miss Brightman,OK, but say notthing bad about

    her.And listen, I'm 62 yo and I began the music

    school when I was 6 yo, I can play many instruments

    with a good result and I teach also to singers.I think

    I am in the position to judge who is good or not. My

    titles gives me the right to this.And I say that now a

    day, Domingo is one of the bests, Sarah sings as

    an Angel and I think y.a.an animal.

  • @RPenta Any critic who puts an artistic whore who cracks on a regular basis on their list of greatest 20th century tenors ought to be smacked. One list even had MINGO (WHERE'S THE DO?) at the top of the list above Caruso!?! On the same list were names like Heddle Nash, one of the worst voices on record. Even Mingo must of had a good chuckle at this. Only people with empty spaces between their ears are fans of singers like this.. apparently that's what it takes for them to sound good!

  • @AUDIOPHlLE

    Audiofile: go delete yourself.

  • @RPenta

    RPenta: drop dead. The music world would be a much nicer place without people like you around to support such shitty "artists."

  • @AUDIOPHlLE

    No, asshole, the whole world would be a much nicer place if vicious cretins like yourself did not want people who disagree with them to die.

  • Really great but with Playback...it's easy !

  • @marintar HAY ES OBIO QUE ES EN VIVO DAAAAA

  • Placido Domingo! This chap does much better than Bocelli in this song! Sarah Brightman was just fine.

  • Stupenda!! Brava!! Impressive performance... and sarah is so beautiful... i was 4 years old then when the video was taken... cool!!

  • Amazing!!! I love Sarah, and my respect for the maestro

  • I love this! Two of my all time favorite singers and one of the best operas ever!

  • Sarah's voice sounds very POWERFUL here, this is definitely one of the best performances of her career! She is singing at the same level of technical ability as Domingo in this video. Who says she's not a Titan in the world of opera? I think she certainly is!

  • Comment removed

  • Sarah is a very sexy woman ...i love her!

  • I love Sarah very much. For me she is one of the greatest voices, but outside opera. Placido is and always was a legend.

  • She is lovable and so so talented!

  • por otro lado continuando mi comentario anterior queria preguntarles sin animosidad. cuantos de los que aqui critican a sarah brightman, se hicieron conocidos y tuvieron la oportunidad de cantar con las grandes figuras como hizo ella. no hay que olvidarse que desde 1986 en forma ininterrumpida esta sobre los escenarios alrededor del mundo.

  • veo que las aguas estan muy divididas en cuanto a los detractores y defensores de sarah brightman, yo me considero una persona con algo de conocimiento musical ya que estudie canto lirico en la escuela del teatro colon en Bs As, sarah no es de las cantantes liricas puras pero tampoco canta solo pop, a mi parecer ella fusina el pop y lo lirico en un ir y venir constante creando un nuevo genero musical que le da mas vida y menosd acartonamiento al mundo de la musica clasica.

  • Sorry but Sarah Brightman can only sing with Bocelli and Paul Potts

  • Idiot! Sarah has never sang with Potts, she is too much for him. Indeed, she is too much for Bocelli, Groban, Il Divo, she paved the way and created a market for them ignorant. You should have a bit of more knowledge before posting comments.

  • Impresionante sarah!!!

    Los que la critican es porque no entienden que ella es la nueva operaaaa.-... bravooo!

  • ITALIAN SONG

  • He's amazing!!! Her on the other hand... no comment

  • She looks those scary doctors and nurses in that famous Twilight Zone episode.

  • He is amazing!!!! She looks like she's on something... I like her voice but she looks kinda wierd when she's singing

  • wuacala que asco se escucha bn putilla jaja pero si la respeto canta bn pero le falta porque canta como chiquiada y antes de criticar intetna hacer la voz asi para que veazs que no es cualquier mamada no cualquiera cnata asi

  • mira filippagiordano 1 no mames a juzgar por tu nombrecito ya es de zorra la neta sarah brightman canta impresionante y le slaio estupenda la interpetacion pero creo que tu estas acostumbrad@ escuchar a la popera de filippa giordano por si no te has dado cuenta a sarah brightman casi ni le gusta cnatar musica asi porque ella quiere crear otro estilo y lo esta haciendo genial no como filippa giordano cantando habanera

  • @lunadel94 pfff! no digas más por favor.

    no quiero sonar descortez, pero si alguien es popera aquí es sarah brightman y junto con Giordano, entonces tenemos un caldo de cultivo de mala música, su pseudo técnica para cantar es deplorable. Si, yo estudio canto.

    Deja de defender lo indefendible, Sarah no es ni cantante clásica, ni tampoco respetable en cuanto a su forma de ser con la música Preferiría que se defina en un genero que le quede.

  • hola amigo no hay problema pero lo que me gusta de sarah es que quiere hacer algo diferente y pues me gusta mucho su voz es impresionante como alcanza el fantasma de la opera en un agudo abierto y es complicado y filipa giordano es respetable pero no me gusta se me hace demasiado pop y sarah canta musica clasica pero con otro ritmo pero respeto tu punto de vista pero si la mejor cantante de musica opera es maria callas por mucho pero sarah tambien es impresionante y flippa pues no canta tan mal

  • @RoOodOoOloOmeg coincido plenamente con su opinion. nunca tan bien dicho. gracias

  • sara tiene una bna voz pero honestamente esta vez le quedo grande el papel su interpretacion de la viletta valery apesta verdi se ha de estar revolcando n su tumba al escuchar esto, bnas interpretaciones las de anna netrebko o maria callas la valery de brightman es basura!! y lo siento por los estupidos fans!

  • filippagiordano1: Ya me dijiste estùpido, por mi parte puedes ir a chingar a tu madre.

  • @filippagiordano1 por dios de nada sirve tu educacion cuando caes con tan bajos comentarios sobre una persona

  • Comment removed

  • Creo que kingromeraso tiene razon Sarah antes que todo es un ser humano y tiene sentimientos al igual que todos piensen un momento que ustedes son Sarah B y que cantan por amor a la música y piensan que sus fans les encantara su presentacion y si mas ni menos la empiezan a ofender e insultar, creo que Sarah es muy buena en lo que hace es realmente una DIVA y tiene una tecnica muy buena su registro vocal cambio con los años de soprano ligera a Soprano Lirica,

  • not too bad for be a broadway singer

  • to bad sarah never got the channce to sing with pavarotti =/

  • me gusto mucho el final!

  • sarah sos lo mas!!!!I love Brightman!!

  • vaya ridiculo de sarah, no le salen los agudos...sorry no nacio para las árias de ópera, que siga cantando cats o el fantasma de la opera....pero hay que admirar lo que hacer para tratar de cantar ópera

  • Comment removed

  • tuvo jeje

  • Por ciertomplacido tambien tuvo un desfine al principio de la obra, asi que no solo critiquen el pequeño error de sarah ok!!

  • usd tuvo dos errores:

    "tubo" y "herror"...por lo demás....son solo palabras....mi opinión....es solo una opinión...y gracias por los insultos...yo a usd no le ofendo...pero es simplemente una opinión...

  • El problema no es que no me salgan los agudos, su técnica no es la apropiada para cantar ópera. Si embargo la culpa la tiene Plácido por aconsejarla a hacer eso jaja: La verdad es que tiene buena voz si se dedica a lo suyo, a mi me encanta.

  • callate ya el pinche hociko DAVID (BRIGHTMANIACO en la pagina de SBWMX) mira pinche jota obvia te la pazas criticando como si tu fueras mui talentoso jajaaahjja por eso todo mundo te odia por marikon lioso amargado nomas ke sigas shingando vas a ver.

  • Uuuy mira como tiemblo

  • deberias hehe.

  • Comment removed

  • Mexicanas locas

  • Que ridicula pelea, la interpretación de Brightman aquí se pasa de excelente y si no les gusta opinen, pero no la insulten, que si bien Sarah es una Diva y una cantante famosa, es humana y que creen que pasaría si leyera esto?

    Yo se que no lo va a leer, pero es de mal gusto insultar de esa manera a una persona, en especial si se trata de Sarah Brightman!

  • Que mejor voz puede ser que esto?

  • fullplayback

  • thats truh....you have reason...it awful this aria with sarah

  • First of all you should improve your english, this aria performed by Ms. Brightman is beautiful.

  • @kingromeraso Yes, she's fine, but not as good as Angela Gheorghiu or Maria Callas.

  • Yeah I know she is not even close to Maria Callas. But trust me, I know a LOT about female voices and Ms. Brightman is one of the most talented singers I have heard.

  • @kingromeraso She's painfully far from being a talented singer (classical).

  • @kingromeraso Vibrato doesn't make you talented. She is far from being an even average classical singer.

  • Comment removed

  • @LordHettrick Ironic that it took a "non-classical" as you put it not "even average opera singer" to actually bring and expose non-classical listeners to classical music and enjoy it. Yes this so-so singer did something that a classical trained soprano (which she does'nt claim to be) could'nt really pull (unless your a classical trained listener and a follower) and that is BRING MORE NEW LISTENERS that can appreciate classical music and opera. We should all be THANKFULL!

  • @kingromeraso im agree with you!! i think she is one of the best sopranos in our times!!!

  • @kingromeraso I agree! She is a fabulous singer!! By FAR one of the best voices ever! That's why she holds the title as "The World's Biggest Selling Soprano of All Time"! Clearly she is VERY talented if everyone is listening to her voice, buying her music, and going crazy over her concerts!! I love her amazing voice, such a talent!!!!

  • How stupid you are, this is not playback, no way!.

    Its out of sync, which is different

  • Gracias por lo de estúpido, se agradece mucho, Que grosero es usd, bueno, la verdad no duele pero incomoda, para usd y para mi, si admito es pésimo mi ingles!

  • Gracias por lo de estúpido? Ese comentario era para aquel que afirmaba que esto es Playback. Lo escribí para AnimeKing8000. Yo a usted le escribi acerca de su inglés y el hecho de que esta aria es hermosa interpretada por Sarah B. En ningun momento escribi "estúpido".

  • sarah you are the best female voice !!!

  • i love the Pavarotti version

  • Plácido Domingo is like a mischievous kid here, haha

  • I love Sarah

    Omg I have never seen her hair like that lol

  • Domingo is full of baloney (...and himself!)!!

  • Admiro a Placido Domingo, pero mi novio ama a mis Brightman

  • sarah is nice or bad...everone is said bad but come on...this atmosphere is very nice...they are smile everytime..please not said to about sarah bad words..i m so sorry about my english...i m learning :)

  • No puedo creer que no les gustò. Me parec que son demasiado exigentes detràs de una pc

  • Estoy con vos totalmente!!! Es muy fácil sentarte en tu casa y ponerte a criticar....A mí me encantó!!!! Amo a Sarah y a Plácido Domingo!!!!!

  • a mi no me gusta sarah..................pero bueno tampoco la critico jeje

  • AMAZING!! I WANNA SEE ALL CONCERT!!!

  • it is good enough to me,,,,,, i think it was great, both of them!!!!

  • Although Sarah Brightman isn't an opera singer, she printes her own style in everything she sings. She is amazing.

  • I think Placido has over done it with singing with all sorts of performers. I consider agreeing to this one simply insane.

  • Vravo Placido bien como siempre aunque si hay un pequeno desafine al principio de la cancion.

    A mi me gusta mucho como canta Sara pero en esta ocasion no mucho le hace un sonido raro como de gato al cantar.

  • she is not broadway singer!!! she only performed in phantom and cats....she had a classical vocal training,and she was offered to sing in opera but she refused it!!!!!!!!

  • If she refused it, fine. She should not singing with Placido Domingo then.

  • I'm quite sure nobody has the right to tell her what she can and cannot sing. She can sing what she likes, and Domingo has repeatedly said he finds her voice beautiful, that Opera purists should learn to accept Crossover, and that if she wishes to sing that way, no-one should stop her.

  • SHe did refuse it. . .

    thats just one song not an opera

  • Love it !!!!

  • i just have to say it.

    I love brightman, but, in this performance, it appears that she screams more than sing.

  • Is that Sarah Brightman? She looks so different...

  • Brighton?

  • Yes I hear this duet sung by many opera artist. I know very well what is opera.

    But I have to insist. If you don't like how Sarah sing this piece, don't listan and/or watch her!

  • don't listen or watch? but what if we want to listen and watch Domingo? then we have to sit through the torture that is sarah's voice.....

    that's not fair, is it? :)

  • Yes, If you don't like Sarah Brightman, Mr Domingo has sung this piece with a lot of sopranos. See him singing this with Anna Netrebko O.K.!!

    Tell me, please, Why does Placido sing with Sarah Brightman if she is a bad singer? He can sing this with lot of sopranos of every part of the world!! Doming and Sarah, has sing concerts together many many times!!

  • Sarah is bigger than Placido you know? But Plácido of course is an opera legend. Sarah is a new age, pop, rock, classical, broadway, jazz, country, crossover legend.

  • I think Domingo recognizes the need for cross-over artists such as Brightman and others to expose opera to new generations. Some people (being fans of Brightman, perhaps) may watch this video not knowing anything about opera and get curious about the art form. More likely not, but I got interested in opera through such artists, so it is possible.

  • @anasconuto He sings with her because he sings with everybody, no matter who talented the person is, it matters who is "hip", maybe that is the cause why he sings with Katherine Jenkins. But if you have enough money to spend, he would even sing with you :-).

  • @JussidelMonaco And he sing with you? Please. If you don't like Sarah don't hear her. That's all! I don't want to be rude with you..

  • @anasconuto

    They usually do good job together, especially the "Requiem".

  • They are really awesome~!!!

    & Sarah was soooo beautiful~

  • It doesn't matter!

    I'm a big Sarah's fan and she never sung or will sing and opera.

    Anyway Sarah approach the classical music to another people who usually don't hear this kind of music.
