Wonderfull this lady, amazing!

Even as a teacher!

She still sounds like a young woman.

This year is her 50 years stage anniversary!

[despina31]

leaving the old, behind....

[despina31]

nice as Des..

[baritonebynight]

She sounds great! I wonder what her secret is?

[nairbittar]

@Mayana1987 what the hell was that??...she is wonderfull no doubt, but the scenery is totally random, the other singers are doing just whatever..omg.

[tommieboy1657]

Helen Donath is great! Her voice still sounds as youthful as on recordings of 40 years earlier. She has kept her voice in a good shape.

Maravillosa, una de las mejores interpretaciones que he escuchado de este aria.

[Sonne1000000]

I really liked Helen Donath as Königin, etc. But - one should know, when the time is there to leave the stage.

Despina sang like this is downgrading this part to a only acting part. And Despina is definitely not!

66 ans ! génial ! aussi bien qu'à 30 !! voilà une excellente réponse à celui (ou celle) qui se demandait si sa prise de 1998 n'était pas truquée en Vilia. Et en fait, peut-être aussi que Mayana tu es effectivement seule à trouver cette mise en scène et le jeu des actrices bizarre. Moi je me régale.

[Mayana1987]

What is that!? I don't mean her singing - that is very good indeed - but the scenery? the costumes? the other singers' acting? .. am I the only one finding this staging a little strange?

[cookforsoul]

I enjoyed watching her master class in Salzburg! She seemed like a wonderful woman with great energy.

Excelente interpretación

[elegie84]

Perfect! I enjoyed Helen's singing and acting so much! God bless :-))))

[ngurrytenore]

Helen Donath, a perfect example of good singing and artistry. Such a great career is a result of both, talent and well trained voice through the years. Brava!

[coramdeo1463]

Helen is my aunt! I love her voice and she's still amazing to this day! The vocal talent runs in the family!

[cc85kk]

唱得挺好的呦,年纪好像也不是好年轻的咯.就是另外两女孩好像有­点做作.

[moghedien13]

WOW!! Shes like 66 here and sounds amazing!!! I think ive heard maybe 1 other person whose voice has aged as well as this.

[ivankakrasnaja]

Helen Donath is just amazing! does anybody know where is she holding masterclasses?where does she live in Italy?

[Neanerbeaner1988]

I think they changed the plot cuz it was out of context for the festival...thats my guess...cuz...honestly? no way haha

[drutle82]

a girl of 15?!??!?! ha!

[fanoftheopera]

Wow - if wikipedia's year of birth is correct, she's 66 years old here. Great voice, and even having fun in that regie-costume!

[miamichobit]

I love Helen! She is so much like that character in real life! So full of life and energy. :)

[Ginii1]

[Fustikia]

[pavarottifreak]

Helen Donath is so amazing! I've had the opportunity to participate in several masterclasses with her.
