O Mio Babbino Caro Carmen Monarcha

[filmstar9]

Who can doubt the presence of sheer class?...and the beauty and delight in her lovely face.Magnifico.

[MegaKillie1]

Definately the best version of this classic

[V4L3NC14N4]

OMG!! she has the voice of an angel is one of the most gorgeous voices i've ever hear it bring tears to my eyes =')

[franco36able]

Mio Padre! Che nostalgia e che pena per la sua perdita. Ascolto questa bellissima lirica e la splendida voce di Carmen e gioia e tristezza invadono la mia anima. Grazie Andrè,grazie Carmen.

[siracvsanv]

Oh MY GOD!!! brings tears to my eyes.

[RustArtRed]

All, My whole family Knows this Crew, There Awesome !

[DeathStarHalfOff]

Hoping to get Andrea Rieu to perform at my wedding. I wonder how much it would cost? Lol.

[tuckerdutch]

this song (i believe) roughly translated is a girl is begging her father to let her visit a boy in the next village and if he doesnt let her she'll jump off the bridge into the river....teenage girls havent changed much in 120 years.

[luweiland]

Parabéns Carmen, voce é fantástica!!



[cowboy45longcolt]

Outstanding!!!

She is working the song to the maximum.Gesture-eye contact etc,,,,,a most wonderfull performance from this woman.She made you feel you was part of it all,and deliverd her great voice with gusto.This has to be my favorite,and very happy i took the time to listen.

Carmen---I salute you.

Thank you very much,

Henry

[sfstoryteller]

on wikipedia you can find not only the lyrics but the whole story about the soprano aria from the opera Gianni Schicchi (1918), by Giacomo Puccini, to a libretto by Giovacchino Forzano. It is sung by Lauretta after tensions between her father Schicchi and the family of Rinuccio.

now you can enjoy the beautiful voice of Carmen Monarcha, together with Andre Rieu and his fantastic ochestra.

[sopapus]

Pq me emociono toda vez que vejo?

[marinha63]

Cuánta belleza y dulzura en esta bella cantante, orgullo para su hermosa tierra brasilera !!!

[justontocomment]

So far, this is the most moving interpretatation of the dozen or so singers

I have listened to perform this aria.

[alexvivacqua]

Maravilha de cantante. Interpretação comovente. Tocante. Maravilhosa.

tres grand talant magifique

[franklingasper028]

Bravissimo, me arrepio todo de ouvir esta musica

[bondwr]

Brings tears to my eyes, the beautiful and elegant Carmen Monarcha along with Andre Rieu and orchestra make in my opinion the best version of this song and many others. Simply breath taking, Bravo

[MsPEPIT]

Linda música!

Andre é popular. e leva a sério o que faz.

[traiclher]

Veramente bravo lui...dolcissima lei. Grande Puccini!

[mrpaiva04]

bullshit

[mrpaiva04]

brega e melhor

[alejales]

Que estes "clips bregas" se espalhem logo pelo Brasil! Pois precisamos

urgente de boa música. Parabéns a André Rieu, Carmem Monarcha e

a esta talentosa orquestra.

[jjhurt01]

Os mais puristas têm um certo preconceito com músicos como André Rieu, chamados de "crossver". Apesar de seus "clips", digamos, um tanto "bregas", sua orquestra e músicos, incluindo as cantoras, são muito bons. Carmen Monarcha está agora cantando em concertos com a OSESP...um novo público está chegando às salas de concerto.....Comecei com Waldo de los Rios

há 40 anos e hoje gosto de Palestrina a Jonh Cage.....e sou wagneriano roxo..

Choro sempre que a ouço cantando essa ária. Grande emoção.

[antinous3]

Choro sempre que a ouço cantando. Grande emoção mesmo.

[NathalieCornod]

O mio babbino caro, mi piace e bello, bello; vo'andare in Porta Rossa a comperar l'anello! Si, si, ci voglio andare! e se l'amassi indarno, andrei sul Ponte Vecchio, ma per buttarmi in Arno! Mi struggo e mi tormento! O Dio, vorrei morir! Babbo, pieta, pieta!

[SQUIRTHUNTER2]

I would like to hear in a concert and no microphones in order to appreciate its voice

[Liuvv]

Segura a mão do regente não, menina!

who could ever dislike this???

[ailtonpo]

Magnífico, belíssimo, show !!!  SBC-SP 18-02-11

[StupehNeighbors]

I wish all kids now-a-days would realize how beautiful this music is.. I'm 16 and kids my age don't appreciate the beauty there is in music. This is was beautifuly done and I love how theatrical she is with the song. The song itself is very cinematic and I adore this aria. My favorite. :)

[MsKlari]

jaj de gyönyörű!

[carynalexis23]

The actual aria is all of 2 mins. long and doesn't repeat. I don't really understand why she did this.

[biografmand]

@carynalexis23

'cause her boss told her to - simple !

-And lovely :-)

[joannalovesit16]

Amazing. One of the best renditions I have seen on youtube!

[98k2500]

This lovely lady does justice to this lovely aria!

[antinous3]

É com certeza a melhor, imbatível!

[flarty95]

Esta bela jovem canta e da emocao a essa tambem bela cancao. Busca de dentro da alma ; algo que da vida ao Bambino Caro.

[Julian21L]

¡Me encanta!

Una de mis versiones favoritas.

:-)

[TheCastadiva]

guapa y talentosa una digna diva de la opera

[rogbow69]

I have never in all my life heard such a gorgous song as this..I'm not a fan of the classics but this song just drains every tear from my body...so beautiful...how can anyone write such music without the help of angels...when I close my eyes and listen to this it's like there is an Angel caressing my very soul sending shivers up my spine...Puccini had a good day when he wrote this with Gods help...just beautiful

[Lewie82]

@rogbow69

Wouldn't it be even more awesome if Puccini wrote it by himself? Without the help of some infinite being? That would make him a genius, not just the tool of something else.

[1voceunica]

@Lewie82 Not sure if you're serious, but I would say, "no," for then it would just be vanity, and that's, well, dull. Having been supernaturally inspired gives credit where it's due, as it were--to the source of infinite goodness and beauty (as the best art usually tends to--go figure). Nothing exists in a vacuum, against our sometimes wishes.

[1voceunica]

@Lewie82 Thus to be a vehicle for such goodness is rather an honor and privilege. In any case, it's much more fascinating than self-reference, don't you think? And infinitely more true, as it were.

[jwcasciato]

@rogbow69 Yes, the same has been said regarding divine inspiration and intervention about many of the great composers of the past. Perhaps the musicians of our current day are out of touch with the divine and the creator of all that is and ever has been!

[MrCrisbene]

Para Duda, meu filho de 22 anos, amor eterno.

[erictrans]

adembenemend hoe ze vertolkt. Pracht van een zangeres.

[vacevedo67]

I love this song. She sings with so much feeling. I feel her pain. I have heard other women sing it but Carmen tops them all. Bravisimo, Bella.

[Humanclay7]

Bravo, Bravo, Bravisssimma!!!!!!!!!!!! Estupenda

[jaceville]

absolutely stunning voice....!!!

[leeslittlebird]

i think she sings it twice because Andre wanted to make an impression. i mean, why have her on stage for just for two minutes, song ends, kicks her off? she has a beautiful voice coupled with a wonderful orchestra, why not show them off a bit and repeat it, leave the audience with that sweeping feeling in their stomach?

[edsonsud]

Salve Carmen Monarcha!!!!

[fuegho18]

Excellent Performance, Wish I would have been there!

[61Tinkerbella]

Wunderschön!!

[robi2000]

All those beautiful talented women Andre' is surrounded by... he must be one of the world's luckiest men however crazy it gets lol

[elvisbycarlos]

Jehovah God should be praised for all His creation-of course, Andre and all his musicians as well are part of it.

[anniebananny123]

If you have to understand what she is saying to "get it" you don't "get it." Music is about being MOVED. Like when I listen to Edith Piaf, I don't understand a word she is saying, but, I UNDERSTAND what she is saying.

[EscapeToNowhere11]

I don't understand why she sings the piece twice. Besides, her italian is not very good... but it's catchy.

[chicoriante]

how would you know ..loser ? you don,t even talk italian.

Your suscribe is in English. Stop hating and do something with your own life.

you loser

[EscapeToNowhere11]

@chicoriante You're wrong, I'm italian. And I didn't insult her way to sing. -.-'

[villanuevamojica]

excelenteb interpretacion y comunicacion con el auditorio me quede sin aliento y sin palabras..asi que de esta melodia ni hablar...uuffffffffffffff viva la musica

[rcalmeida]

A Carmem Monarcha é exemplo a todos os brasileiros e, ela sim, seu talento, seu esforço para chegar onde chegou devem ser motivo de orgulho para nós. Devemos nos orgulhar do que nós construímos, e a Carmem batalhou por cada centímetro de espaço naquele palco. Parabéns a ela e, quanto a nós, desejo que comecemos a no espelharmos em quem tem algo a acrescentar, deixando lado a banalidade e o jeitinho.

[TheTchiule]

Em uma nação de 180.000;000 tirar duas,,,fora oq que ainda estão escondinhos, é um orgulho...Vc e a Carla são dois otimos exemplos q esse pais pode muito!

Voce é maravilhosa! Parabens,,,vc nos enche de alegria! parabens!

[TheTchiule]

Maeavilhosaaa!, em 180.000.0000 conseguimos duas beldades! (Vc e a Carla)Nesta hora emociona-nos deser brasileiros! Obrigado por nos brindar com seu sucesso.! Muito bom !

[EmblemaRockBand]

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!

[erlock21]

ah andre ,,the walt disney of classical

[kennyhuang888]

Love it, and thanks for sharing with us...

[Akuchan7]

I thought she was like 12 until she opened her mouth. Not the song I was looking for, but totally worth watching!

[gabybonita81]

quien cantara así...

[Baldgol4]

Beautiful voice, a precious smile and big brown eyes to melt any man's heart. This is such a perfect performance. Thank you.

[grupogalatas]

é uma pena que o brasil esta em crise musical... estamos perdendo muito!!!!

[daysmaria]

@grupogalatas infelizmente eu concordo com você. O que é bom está longe da midia, eu acredito. Melhor assim.

[Sopranelsker]

Your smiley unveil to me you just got yourself a new hero. I'm happy for you.

[srtopolin]

mujer hermosa , con una bella voz y una magnifica interpretacion.quisiera que me ayudaran con la traduccion en español.gracias

[Jeneverput]

Wat een mooie vrouw !!.

Che bella donna!!

[evastessa]

This can be much better!

[laksa72]

This is one of the best heard so far.

[Sopranelsker]

I guess you didn't listen to Sissel.

[laksa72]

Sissel was average at best. :)

[freitascal]

Simplesmente magnifico....é contemplar esse mágico momento.

[marlonss]

This is one of my favorite performances of any artist. Beautiful Carmen Monarcha, great voice, with a superb orchestra, led by the charismatic Andre Rieu.

[MrLamontSanford]

Carmen is proof there is a god, and that he is good. Wow! This is what heaven sounds like -and looks like!!

[RosanneB]

Ive seen Andre Riew and the JSO in concert several times. I am in awe of such talent. In this song, Carmen is so deeply in character that you forget that she is performing and believe that she really is a young girl in the throes of first love. Her little temper tantrum is charming and reminiscent of a child who is used to being spoiled by an indulgent papa who has put his foot down for the first time. Amazing performance!

[jofigueiredool]

Ela faz qualquer pessoa se emocionar, com esta voz que Deus lhe deu. Ela irradia luz, com esta voz de anjo.

[jaimeled]

rsrsrsrsr é brasileira... rsrsrsrs

[saturnaspider]

This beautiful woman pulls at the heart strings as she gives voice to this wonderful aria. Such feeling and emotion. Excellent.

[pammyinlp]

Just beautiful.

[jamar229]

wonderful

[skulluminati]

It took me so long to find this video. I had to see Andre Rieu live after seeing him on the television, which was one of the greatest experiences of my life, and this was one of my favorite performances. I am a fan of Hip hop/Rap/R&b mostly but I appreciate all music genres (I was probably the only one at the performance in Salt Lake City wearing baggy jeans). Seeing this live almost made me cry if you could hear it in person there is so much more emotion than you can hear unless you're there.

[Bobbbiejean]

This is so precious......she is asking her father that her boyfriend and she may marry......so tender......so pure her voice....wonderful.

[Lana777W]

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!

[melibea56]

BELLISIMO !!!!!!. Todos los sentimientos en ésta interpretación.

[ramy2schuts]

really good

[liran2005]

I'm not a fan of operah.

In fact, I think this is the first time I like a piece.

This Carmen angel. She sings so beautifully, I've compared this version to others on tube...In my opinion THIS one is the best.

I think I might start to like this genre because of her skills, her singing is really touching.

[skulluminati]

I've seen this performance live, by Andre Rieu and the singer. And I did not appriceate opera truly until then. I almost cried, which I very rarely do.

[NiedermayerRob]

GTA III

[lilkitten723]

la mejor interpretación que he visto, bravo!

[rafaelhamham]

Carmen canta muito! é muito talento! Linda musica!

[robbyperez]

Did she get a nose job...

[billyboyproductions]

I heard the CD and thought she was an older woman... Perfect for this performance...

[romoloricap]

bella la scenografia integrale

[GreenEyedBlues]

There's no doubt she's got a great voice.

But this song is supposed to be evocative of a sense of pleading and despair. She's got this insipid grin on her face when she's not singing. Boo

[biografmand]

If Carmen was sending You that smile, You would not protest... ;-)

BTW: She does not smile for long, so You just keep quiet and enjoy.

[sasukebora]

I love her! beauty unparalel! such power and control, it moves me just to hear the furst few seconds of it.

[joejurahd]

o carmen you are so lovely...this sends me

oh to heights of bitter sweet. so sad so expressive oh its heaven

[MrAlphastyle]

Wonderfull voice

[Tenorbravo]

It is FANTASTIC, LOVELY, BELLISIMO, I LOVE IT..WHAT A VOICE AND TALENTO SHE HAS..IT touched my heart...

[vivianerojas]

i thought that her voice was nice, but her expressions are SOOOOO over the top it's irritating. i wanna shoot her.

[Claire1Rogers]

its opera ....ignorant

[vivianerojas]

watch MARIA CALLAS, then talk to me about Opera.

Ignorant.

[Claire1Rogers]

You wanna shoot somebody cuz u dunt like their expression, and IM ignorant. lol, whtever makes u happy.

[amynmiami2]

She should be showing expression, the song is about a girl pleading with her father to allow her to marry the man she loves.

[bassfanne45]

@vivianerojas I absolutely agree with you! And her outright crying at the end I could have done without.

[bassfanne45]

@vivianerojas She could have a classical career with more training to improve her breathing and other aspects of technique, but once Rieu discovers these girls they seem to just tour with him and forget about anything else.

[majaldinho]

@bassfanne45 THGIS HEAVENLY CREATURE WHO DELIVERS SUCH BEUATY IS A BRAZILIAN YOUNG LADY FROM THE FAR NORTH OF BRAZIL. I AM BRAZILIAN FROM SAO PAULO AND I AM QUIVERING, IN TEARS, TO HEAR THIS. AND TO THINK OF PUCCINNI, THAT GENIUS, WRITING THIS ETERNAL ARIA FOR A BRAZILIAN YOUNG LADY TO MAKE SUCH INCREADIBLE REGISTER

[spicymona]

Beautiful!

[zengenSanji]

She has a perfect timbre.

All special.

A rare jewel!

[Sopranelsker]

watch?v=dyGcgEvIteU

[constantlyinlove]

Best performance ever for me

[melomano55]

Formidables artistas. Oir a Carmen Monarcha me emociona profundamente.

[gris0408]

wooow maginifico una voz muy fina..espectacular interpretacion

[2008sempre]

Esta Brasileira é fenomenal.

[Frinoon]

She sings and acts the best among those who plays the part!

[lucasbastos10]

she makes me shiver, bravo!

[enativel]

beautiful voice ! no comment !

[eddieman2004]

Her Ave Maria is stunning too..! gets my first prize there too! she is an absolute GEM!

[msisis12]

I absolutely agree. I see that great minds think alike....lol! Take care.

[msisis12]

Carmen by far is the best performer of this aria. It brings me to tears everytime I listen to it.

Bravo Carmen, Bravo!

[eddieman2004]

I agree! ..I used to have a soft spot (and still do actually) for Kiri Te Kanewa's in room with a view.. it takes a singer who loves singing ..no t showing off.. for the feeling to come through and here it is just gorgeous!! it hepls having a gorgeous face and smile to of course ;-)

[bennysue52]

The best, I am new to this and have been listening to many versions from different very wonderful singers. Her performance emotion and sound are incredible.

[leba12521]

Incredible voice, I love this song by Carmen

She has such a great presence on stage.

And her beautiful broen eyes, who wouldn't say yes to her when she looks at you in this way

[mekpet]

beautiful , and she's brazilian!!

[LisaCuddy4]

Genial de las pocas sopranos talentosas que conosco les recomiendo escuchen tambien a Emma Shapplin.. Helen Donath son Muy Buenas.... Pero Cada una de ellas es única

[moello88]

I liked her facial expression,too.

[eclecticcowboy]

A beautiful woman, a beautiful voice and one of the most beautiful arias of all time. I just wanted to lean back, close my eyes and let the music wash over me, but I couldn't take my eyes off her.

[julinhasam]

é esse tipo de cantora que o povo brasileiro precisa conhecer! parabens carmen!

[jerzeetoad]

This performance gives me major goosebumps, and a lump in my throat. Carmen Monarcha is not only beautiful and talented but she performs this song like no other.

[filinhafe]

Uma das vozes mais lindas .

Interpretação maravilhosa .

E È Brasileira.Brasil.

[Arashi110]

Very nice character interpretation, especially in the repeat. Finally I see a true Lauretta.

[tatersall2008]

Unas Voz Angelical, hace mucho tiempo que no se escuchaba una voz tan Calida, con tanto sentimiento en su intepretacion, una muestra de lo que es un don divino.

[glendasa101]

What an angel! I love Carmen. :)

[vonDali]

Carmen - you alook beautyful and your performance is perfect too!

[roserouge3945]

quel chateuse de grand talent bravo carmen

[lenmurielwatson]

to hear my last request on this earth would be Carmen Monacha O Mio Babbino Caro NO ONE CAN match Her voice

[natalier06]

I only get chills when Carmen Monarcha sings this aria... No one else...

[eddieman2004]

Kiri te kanawa is pretty good too!

But Carmen Monarcha has the sex appeal and charm with it too!!

[post0886]

좋아요 굳~

[Frinoon]

I think Brazilian opera singer Carmen Monarcha sings better than Maria Callas and Sarah Brightman.

[chechereses]

absolutelly better!

[Frinoon]

Carmen Monacha sings better thanMaaria Callas and Sarah Brightman.

Tuenoon

[plutoniangirl]

different schools .. Maria Callas i agree .. not sure about Sarah Brightman

[yaniraem]

vaya un circo...el del violín no tiene ni idea de dirección y toca lo justo.Ella canta bien pero las hay que cantan esta aria mucho mejor y están en los conservatorios, además,¿por qué repite el aria?? ¡vaya una hoterada!

[ivanetelilja]

Que maravilha!

[princesssunshine34]

this looks familiar think i've seen this on tv, it was real good

[frank529]

Ótima...não sabia que ela é brasileira...

[wilvanliefland23]

Een schatje die nog prachtig zingen kan ook

[abrilseis]

Carmen, gracias por darnos la oportunidad de apreciar la belleza de la vida atravez de tu voz...hasta mi hijo de 4 años te siente tan divina

[lberettal]

u got to be joking by saying something like that right

what a moron

[Dortmunderstrasse]

She has a good voiced with much potential, but she succumbed to the King of Kitsch - this is horrendous.

[delinacs]

Fico comovida toda vez que assisto, porque é lindo e também por Carmen Monacha ser brasileira.

[lalolito80]

carmen eres extraordinaria, tu voz me conmueve

Não conhecia a soprano Carmen Monarcha. Estupend
