Dawn Upshaw. Messiaen.n°2

0:34 this is my favorite way to practice, alone in a big empty room, nothing but around me but my own focus

Her lower register is so beautiful.

Thank you!

I LUF DAWN UPSHAW!!!!! YEY!!!

The more l hear her, the more l love her, Dawn you are a great singer, a great ARTIST her voice is an angel voice.

Yes, Dawn Upshaw is married with an 18 year old daughter and 12 or 13 year old son. But she doesn't live in Chicago. She was raised and went to college in Illinois, but lives outside NYC with her husband and the two children. Check her bios. A lot of this information is given and even updated on the Wiki encyclopedia. Have fun.

She's glorious. I love that she is a normal human being! As for pitch, you must take into consideration the genre of the music as well as her voice type. She is definitely not a Wagnerian soprano! Instead she has a lovely light lyric sound. Considering this scene was written for a dramatic soprano with a larger voice, Dawn did a fabulous job.

I'm so glad you posted this! It's so helpful to see a fraction of the crazy work that goes into perfecting a major role for a gig like this.

I thought that Salonen conducted this production?

this is singing is not a walk in the park people she sings wonderfully!!!
