Henry Purcell opera Dido and Aeneas, Dido's Lament

[perovanlierop]

I love the posts from Dido and Aneas, but haven't you posted 'With drooping wings' entirely? I love it.

[3lectricalStar]

Wow! Truly amazing!

[Wavewolfaroha]

I am truly moved by your performance of this, my favorite aria...

[Hercsulina]

azért egy kicsit hamis

[queeche]

omg Gail? The Gail I know and love? hahah cool!!!

[blackcastle7]

the tempo is kinda faster. lovely voice but i don't like her acting. definitely

[americankgb]

How much more beautiful a broken heart, than one unstirred and atrophied from non use? I would die like Dido a thousand times over, having known for a fleeting moment, than live a life without love. The best art often has as its origin, a heart bereaved...

[nannygoatj]

This is lovely. Her emotion makes it more powerful. How could anyone sing this withOUT such intense feeling?

[xoxpenguinxox]

*goosebumps*

[margonavarra]

Очень хороший голос!!!! Чистый! И как она им владеет!

[pongkingtail]

I thought this was a beautiful performance and I really felt the anguish in her voice and in her acting. Superb.

[SandrineSoprano]

Lovely voice..

[lizzymexicana88]

oh she's got such a gorgeous voice

[BreeVassar]

I hope she is discovered and does very well. she has a lovely voice.

[MyLittleEye]

Mmm... She seems a bit upset

[lizzymexicana88]

the character is upset because her love just left her to go pursue his destiny far away from her that a witch had made a fake prophecy about to take him away from her so she would heart broken

[markus713]

Quite good - she definitely has some potential! I do think it needs to be slower though.

[DieSonneSinkt]

So hammy, I could make a ham sandwich out of it.

[smitschagen]

The nice thing about music is you can deeply feel the emotions by which the performers put into it

Often advanced students that are just not there completely do this so well!

in this case that is what strikes me

no matter imperfections of voice support, it is the total that counts and I just love it!

[Aniretak205]

Lovely, lovely voice, enchanting performance, but she's clearly still studying. The highest notes are pinched, and in places, she lacks support. But she'll be marvelous if she keeps it up.

[Gnarbel]

Who is she? How can you not post her name?

I was very taken with this video nomatter tempo, imperfections etc. Her voice... she'll go places.

"CGrec" , who plated Cara must have her name and nationallity?

Thanks :-)

[VShamas]

this is beautiful

[okoncentrerad]

Oh My God! I cried.. ! This was awsom!

[dinmolle]

i wanna be like her!!!!:o

my favorite dido<3

[dinmolle]

holy shit, she's good

[perovanlierop]

Pity 'With drooping wings' wasn't included entirely... these amateurs are doing a good job, and with much enthusiasm. Really enjoy seeing them and listening to them.

[epvideochannel]

sometimes i think there are somethin more beautiful than the opera?

[epvideochannel]

she's magnifique! n good college not

[CalifaJohn]

Try to make it slower, darker, weightier.

[cheesydutchman]

yes, the lament should be slower. the whole opera builds to this moment, where the sorceress finally succeeds in destroying dido.

[fluffygutss]

died of a broken heart....

[unagondolaunremo]

bravo the Vassar College and its Opera Workshop!

[yunhicoline]

De toute ma vie, je n'ai jamais vu une chanteuse d'opéra jouer aussi bien... Je suis très impressionnée, très belle performance, et quelle voix! magnifique, j'en ai pleuré...

[saturne46]

Magnifique et très émouvant. Bravo pour vos talents de chanteuse et d'actrice.

[SinNanna]

Brilliant! Almost brought me to tears.

[CGrec51]

Hi! I'm not sure who posted this, or if it's a student or a parent - but you have a DVD of the opera! (This is Cara, who played Belinda). Is there any way I can get a copy? I'd be so happy - I've been trying to get my hands on one. Thanks!

[dinmolle]

the work your group did is awesome..! i've seen this part over and over^^ can you please tell me the name of the girl who played dido?

you're all so good^^

[VINZZ78971]

[ottokees]
