Sumi Jo - Lehar - Merry Widow - Vilja Song

Franz Lehar composed operetta "Die Lustige
Witwe" in German. However, this operetta has
been often performed in English. English title
is "Merry Widow." Sumi Jo also sang it in
English in this clip. Maybe, Renee Fleming
also sang it in English in her album.

Seoul, South Korea. 2004.

She's marvelous. A very solid singer, beautiful, and perfectly

dressed. I'd buy a ticket to here her anytime.

Korean singers (or at least all I've heard singing) have this absolutely beautiful way of using the head space... Sumi Jo nailed this technique made perfection of it, of course, but I wonder if this is really something all Korean voice teachers teach?

LOVE how she says "Vilja the witch of the wood" at 4:01.

@carolinetxwatson yes you are right she probably accidently messed up

[ghsanchez]

@carolinetxwatson yes you are right she proobly accidently messed up

[carolinetxwatson]

isn't the second verse supposed to end with "no maiden of mortals so sweetly can kiss?" instead of "he looked and he longed for the magical maid" again?

otherwise, she's an absolutely beautiful singer!

@hipocampelofantocame She does have very good dress sense and taste.

[thirlestanelodge2]

@hipocampelofantocame she is a lovely singer, but her diction is appalling.Worse even , than your spelling. You mean hear, not here.

[TomfromSosnowiec]

It is amazing, she sings this marvellous song almost without any burden. She does it perfectly and light. And by the way - she is very beautiful lady.
