Kristine Opolais, RUSALKA ''Song to the Moon''

[oldParasiteSingle]

If her posture is awful, its probably because someone is making her spend so much time on her back ;)

[lamentofhorde]

actually, there isn't anything wrong with her voice, but she has horrible posture, can't take a low enough breath, and needs to bring the head voice down to the lower part of her range. Not bad though.

[summerrain206]

She is so cute! looks like Rusalka herself.

Nice performance, unforunately I did not like the voice very much.

[herol64700]

happened on to this via a link. have listened to it 10 times so far WONDERFUL

[Monartpon]

Magnificent! Exalting and Alluring!

[Spantaocells]

Genial!! Like Anna Netrebko

[so451]

@Spantaocells ??? of course not !!!

[opernnarr123]

Kristine Opolais ist seit der aktuellen Münchner Kusej-Inszenierung die Number-One-RUSALKA weltweit. Eine exorbitante Leistung dieser jungen Dame!

[SuperJohnnykay]

I think for the Czech purists Urbanova,Subrtova and Souckova are the sopranos of choice due to ethnicity.I wonder if they shun the Slovak sopranos like Benackova &Orgonasova.Czechs or slovaks let me know.For the rest or us,this Latvian girl here is sensational!!! She just bowled me over with passion & intention in her performance.Just going back to listen again,all the best,John from Australia

[abracadabranque]

Belle femme,beau timbre,mais l'aigu à 2:28 est une pure hérésie vocale.Le dernier aussi d'ailleurs!...

[davidtiger]

Kristine I am your fist fun. You are talented Latvian star. And trust me. Soon you will be singing together with Anna Netrebko.

You have ability to touch viewers hearts and come back to Opera again.

Please sing the song: "O mio bobbino" . One of my favorites.

I hope you have nice people who take care of your career.

[MalotraktorM]

Teď sem ze sebe udělal blbce. Lucia Popp je slovenka. Omlouvám se.

[MalotraktorM]

Her voice is wonderful but her pronunciation is sometime awful

[gautama2009]

you know? Kristine's pronunciation in Czech is one of the best in the opera world! And if You don't understand that than do not post the comment. :))

[MalotraktorM]

@gautama2009 Ale nepovídej. Ano, je lepší než Renée Fleming, ale proti třeba Lucii Popp je o dost horší. A samozřejmě s Češkami a Slovenkami se nedá příliš srovnávat.

Ale jak jsem říkal, její hlas je nádherný, mezi nejlepšími.

Sorry if you aren´t czech.

[SuperMarkova]

@gautama2009 one of the best ... yes .. for not czechs ;) sorry my english ... :-)

[ElHombreForestal]

@gautama2009

For me (I'm czech) is accetable only Karita Mattila's pronunciation. I know that our language is very difficult and we are glad and grateful when someone makes that hard work and tries to uderstand our culture and language, but sometimes trying is not enough :-)

On the other hand this is not so bad. For example russian accent of Anna Netrebko in this song is really embarrassing.

[SavannahElliot]

@gautama2009 wtf man lol Malotraktor was right, her pronunciation IS awful. she cant even get the very first words right...mesicku na niebe? LOL. cant compare her to lillian roberts or others

[KatxThexRipper]

Wow voice but she sang the wrong lyrics a few times.

[rietummezi]

Skaisti, Kristine!

[mirific29]

one of the best performance, so expressive and her diction is so clear, you can understand every letter, great!

[mauriciozed]

hermosa voz, es increible como el humano (mujer, hombre) puede producir sonidos, texturas, sensaciones tan profundas, ojalá pudiera tener las oportunidades que ellos tienen, para afinar y pulir mi voz, bello el arte!!!!!

[Kiovigbax]

Snaží se, občas se to dá i poslouchat. Sice nesahá p. Šubrtové ani po kotníky, ale dá se to poslouchat na rozdíl od jiných verzí (Fleming, de Stade etc.).

[Nidoamor]

Brava ! Piu brava la Opulais che la Renee ! In piu quest` e´ una vera donna !

[thanksyounow]

Going to give this version my vote. Although it looks lke it was sung in an unlikely place it shines sung as a soaring dream.

[silvernitrate10]

That was really good. I think I like Renee's better though!

[cantanteporsiempre]

woo, a man who plays the harp! sexy

[deutschefach]

Every singer is a unique experience. Kristine is an extremely passionate singer. She is at the same time very straight forwtard in her phrasing. She hardly ever drops the end of the phrases. That is something that Renée does in a very studied way. She sings in a way that is secure for the conductor too. She can take more chances than she does here and use less voice and more shading. But this is a wonderful singer and a beautiful woman. I could imagine listening to her for a lifetime. Can't you?

[PaulaSeichei91]

In opinia mea aceasta este cea mai buna interpretare din toate punctele de vedere a acestei frumoase arii!

[PaulaSeichei91]

In opinia mea este cea mai buna interpretare a acestei frumoase arii !

[PaulaSeichei91]

I love her! Just perfect!!!

[kriklun]

she is very very very good...

but no way of camparing her to Fleming .. :D

thats absolutely celar

[monpitt500]

@kriklun There is much better than Fleming as far as soprano voice is concerned

[monpitt500]

In this aria,She's much better than Fleming!

[dougebraga]

WONDERFUL WOMAN! WONDERFUL VOICE!

[ribenive]

Great voice! Acting Sophia Loren of Opera!

[Arminiushoff]

Ohhh my God, She's singing from her Heart!, Thank you for this video, is really, really beautiful !

[AntySpid]

I think the same....but if u want there is another one... : Renee Fleming "Song to the moon" Rusalka Gala Tucker 91... she s got a very beautiful voce!

[Arminiushoff]

Thank you for your recommendation, and yes Renee Fleming is a awesome singer!, Thank You.

[AntySpid]

:) ^^

[elegie84]

She's so beautiful! God bless!

[4piglite]

Wow--nicely done, sort of patterns after Leontyne. Beautiful use of the lilting upper register in those tender moments. Good job--- :)

[LoverOfOpera]

Kristine!!!! You are always soooooo great! Thanks for the beautiful music. Thanks for the wonderful feelings.... Keep up... Simply beautiful! :-)

[Homoclassicus]

Wonderful voice, she's got a timbre of personality, with metal, beautiful vibrato, all under excellent control. I especially like how she uses the richness of her voice to the advantage of the slight variations and nuances of the song. She's certainly a singer of great promise and will enjoy a great career, I hope so (for the sake of the Opera fan world). Her undeniable beauty won't be a problem, at least for those who don't have envy problems with beautiful and talented divas.

[OperaPilot]

A beautiful woman with a splendid voice brings Rusalka to life. Thank you, Kristine!

[mamolinka]

A co ta chyba?! Kdo tu nan ceka, v první sloce refrenu!

[judron1]

Velmi interesantni dama! Snadno si ji lze predstavit jako opravdovou rusalku ( :

Very interesting lady. One can easily imagine her as a real Rusalka - the water nymph ( :

[waltermontani]

brava!!!!!!!

[gautama2009]

Jā, ir. Madama Butterfly ārija ''Un bel di vedremo''.

[shalloee]

es būtu Tev ļoti pateicīga, ja Tu to ievietotu youtubē!

[shalloee]

ak dievs, cik skaisti!tev var būt ir vēl no šī koncerta? :)

[parsifalito]

Kristine tanned and blonde! Naaah, I still prefer her with her natural colours.

[DonAlfonso63]

I've never seen her before, how does she look like "normally" ?

Anyway, I liked her voice and performance a lot !

[coryisawake]

Brava Opolais!
