  • Happy Birthday Reri!

  • @skyhighsoprano I think that may vary with the exact type of voice--some types do seem to peak quite a bit earlier than that, possibly in the 26-32 range in cases. An elfin-lyric voice such as Grist's is so rare that reliable statistics may not even exist--I have heard only one other of the type (Judith Halasz.)

  • Superb.

  • Sopranos don't usually peak until their mid 40s (unless they damaged their voice through misuse). Film and tv has a lot to answer for, making everyone think that leading ladies should be no older than 25! There is such waste in the world of opera today because it has been infected by this point of view.

  • The flexibility of her voice at 48, it is just incredible.

    I have a great respect to her.

  • IMHO, the best Mozart-type soprano performer ever.

  • yes, she was 48. she's only in her early 80s now. this is lovely. i adore her

  • Just lovely - what a marvellous singer-actress she is! This is one of the most delightful, funniest scenes in the whole production - I love the way they play it! Got to feel sorry for Osmin (wonderful Martti Talvela) when she laughs at him for trying to be nice!!

    Btw - I think Reri Grist was only 48 here, not 58 - but whatever age, it's a beautiful performance.

  • That´s a true soubrette-sound! Wonderful!! I love that voice!

  • Even at this advanced phase of her career she still sounded lovely and clear and wonderful. That's commendable!
