Placido Domingo Masterclass 3

[jmiller05]

Puccini is so hard to master, because often these young singers think the evocation is more important than the text.

[Beth29252]

This is one of those arias that I desperately want to sing when at and after college/university. It is so beautiful, and this soprano sings it beautifully. Loved Domingo's advice and understanding of this particular aria, and he also has all the qualities I love in a teacher such as kindness and patience. I'll be seeing this clip a few more times and take note of what Domingo says so that when and if I do sing it I know how to effectively without doing too much or too little.

She is my aunt ceil.

[Petrokwstas]

She is better than Maria Callas

[Petrokwstas]

She has great voice. Beautiful!!! Who is she?

[Lowriderr]

SIGNORE ASCOLTA -TURANDOT-PUCCINI

[sbocciai87]

what is the name of this aria?

[fiddleriddler]

Why does she keep holding her hand near her face when she sings?

[biranc23]

Does anyone know the sopranos's name ? I loved her.

[corellithebest]

Domingo is really a great teacher as I can see and he has a lot of patience and is kind to his students. And the soprano is very good and certainly has potential in my opinion. I like Domingo's deep understanding of the aria.

Le bel canto existe toujours de par le monde...et en Italie notamment.....Mais que dire des pays sud-américains qui nous fournissent une kyrielle de bons chanteurs d'opéra.....que nous avons le plaisir d'entendre chez nous..;et ailleurs.

Une bonne voix peut chanter beaucoup de choses. en direct,sans micro......une voix peu travaillée ne chantera pas grand chose....si des variétés avec micro et un arsenal de technique pour améliorer artificiellement la voix.....

[Chilair1]

she does the weirdest thing with her body @ the end. Its so weird, but kind of funny.

oh yeah, and he's AMAZING.

[renaissance27]

she's just sitting into it for more support but yea lol it looks pretty funny there

[Darkkittydemon]

Well, you hear how strong her voice is? she's singing with her diaphragm. That's what opera singers do, and your diaphragm is a very strong muscle to use. So, when you use it your body reacts regardless, from all of that power and strength you're using.

^_^ How do I know this? My mother was an opera singer too.

(Also, I'm posting this again just in case my first reply didn't send. =3 )

[kazimierzmichalkiwic]

beatiful falsetto

[sm417472]

What is the name of this aria?

[golossov]

"Signore, ascolta!" by Liù (soprano) from the opera Turandot

[sm417472]

Thank you.

[APhantomPhan]

I have to commend these people on their courage. If I was in a masterclass with Domingo, I would be shaking like a leaf. Or, more likely, I would be so terrified I would have fainted on the stage.

[SVENSKSOPRAN]

Very beautiful voice...

[limshiru]

What happened to all these students who participated in the Philadelphia masterclasses? (ie, Where're they now?)

[martafloria]

I have noticed that nearly all the singers who participte in masterclasses never become very succesful!!

[796824]

Correct. It's Voice, Voice, Voice that counts. The Art of Bel Canto does not exist today. There is a reason they entitled the past THE GOLDEN AGE OF SINGING.

[AlexiouValenti]

I agree with both you and "martafloria"!! But I think that the art of belcanto will live on! if only in a handful of singers!!!

[235binelli]

Dear 796824 you're wrong, THE BEL CANTO DOES EXIST to demonstrate what i'm saying please visit my videos. We are from the Association "IL BEL CANTO" FROM Italy

[JuillHope17]

i think also that is because the artists giving the classes are teaching their methods and what they know, which cannot help sometimes because to be truly successful you need to bring something that is your own, and not what everyone else has done. that's why it's actually even more important to watch master classes than actually be in them, or watch opera rehearsals or anything, because you have time to formulare your own ideas, and build upon what is being taught to the person in question.

[Agorante]

Not true! See the Pavarotti Masterclass video with Schaxnader. He had 200 performances at the Met.

Domingo is a vastly better teacher than Pavarotti but his students are not too good. In the previous video in this collection almost all of them are hopeless.

This soprano is pretty good but Liu is a very, very competitive part. Everybody can sing it. If she could do Turandot she would have been famous.

[HappyHounde]

Many people after awhile want a different kind of life. Not everyone has to be famous to be appreciated or valid.

Me encanta el video
