[missmezzoyo23]

I love that Mr. Whitacre starts laughing at the end.



[frecklydharma]

[KathrynLouise44]

[krrista]

Thomas Ades had childhood soprano traumas.

This is what happens when you let Chuck Norris write contemporary opera.

How's your relationship with your neighbours? :-P

[Fereishte]

Wow!

[poltecho]

I wonder how many people accidentally blew their speakers just now.

[redsteelchair]

I am completely unfamiliar with this opera, but I would love to hear this part in context. Could anybody direct me to what part this is from? Thanks! :)

[rumilization]

@redsteelchair i'll send you the link in a message bc i don't think i can do it on this wall.

[redsteelchair]

@rumilization and @stephencraigen - Thanks! Got it.

[stephencraigen]

@redsteelchair Just type 'Ades Tempest' into the search bar and it's the first one.

[paigealannah]

My dogs ran to the window making sure no one was hurting me, but my ears are very please with that! She is a goddess.

[pokethunderdude]

0:46 XD

[binkleybloom]

So, I'm guessing you turned off the camera just before she chucked one of her shoes at you for interrupting? :)

[stephencraigen]

I think Cynthia Sieden is the only other person to have ever sung Ariel in the Tempest, because she's the only one who could/was crazy enough to try! Enter Exhibit B. Wow.

[SzymonChojnacki]

@stephencraigen

you should check Louise Fribo singing Ariel in Germany Theater Lubeck. Amaaaaaaazing !

[SzymonChojnacki]

@stephencraigen

it was in 2010 ...

[disposableteenager]

What.... is.... she made of.....?!

[scoobydoobydoo5006]

Amazing. The pitch of the notes made my dog go a bit nuts haha.

[kitai03]

Eric, put away your wineglasses - she will sing cracks into them!!!!!!

[rumilization]

Got through half the video without realizing my laptop was muted. The link Eric Whitacre sent me was titled "My wife is an alien!" so, only seeing her mouth moving, I thought, "Yeah... she's kinda weird..." Hah. Oops.

[Clatterpinch]

Jesus Christ. How do you live in the same home as this person and not go insane?

[elisabeth0205]

How does she do that!?!?! Absolutely amazing :)

[Kateexo315]

this just blew my mind.

[Cronnies]
