i never thought i could hear a better performance than anna's. but this is simply out of this world!!

[operaxige]

I saw her perform Gilda (Rigoletto) at the Met and the Countess (Le Nozze di Figaro) and her voice is as big as it needs to be. Her strength is her divine control and delicacy of tone.

[MEDITATIONSTODAY]

you are wonderful. I learning by listening and watching how you sing in this aria.I aspire to one day perform at the Met,

[maikelektro]

so light on the high notes! Most sopranos seem to go in with all the power they have - but I love the lightness in the A'' s. A great example..

[lamiacuffietta]

@maikelektro she is a light soprano.... very well done but she does it in HER voice and often Antonia is a lyric soprano

[flowersings]

@lamiacuffietta Agreed! Definitely a lyric.

[monileigh33]

She's amazing! And this song is perfect for her voice

[meriomeri]

ooo I love her!

[evilsushix]

So simple and beautiful! The end made me tear up.

[BelCanto1211]

I absolutely love this aria. I'm singing it now for a recital and it's just a beautiful song and I especially love singing the high A's :)

[ximenadore]

WONDERFUL!!!! I LOVE HER VOICE

[audepriya]

Sublime! J'y étais, la beauté de sa voix m'a tiré des larmes.

[Rapicienta]

Muy linda interpretaciòn...

[robinorene]

[SALIMPUL]

Un des grands triomphes de Ruth Ann ce soir-là à l'Opéra Bastille. La salle était subjuguée et les applaudissements qu'elle reçut furent les plus sincères d'un public envoûté!
