Переглядів 1 тис.Рік тому
Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro shaped the future of opera buffa and is in many ways the perfect opera. Continuing the story of the characters from Il Barbiere di Siviglia, this masterpiece offers a good dollop of farce, adultery, role-playing and cunning scheming. It also touches on abuse and mental health issues, seen in the Countess’s poignant navigation of her fracturing marriage. Presented in ...

I have listened to the famous duet of Pearl Fishers again and again, of all ages, and yours is one of the best I have heard. Wishing you the very best for your future in opera.
❤️
Fabulous initiative - well done to all!
Good day, I more interested in learning to sing like a professional ,Im a tenor singer how can I join the cape Town opera foundation studio ?
I disagree about the 8/8. It is exactly the same time as 4/4 and what you gave there with the 123 123 12 was merely a configuration of the rhythm. Just like 7/8 can have 123 1212 or 1212 123, which are two different configurations, so the 8/8 can have the configuration you gave, but also 12 123 123, 123 12 123, as well as 12 12 12 12, which is really a 4/4. Also, I come from a country called Macedonia, and I can tell you that given the different rhythm configurations of the 9/8, at times it has to be done as a four-beat rhythm. The instances apart from the 3/3/3 configuration which you showed, where this has to happen is when the configurations of the rhythm are as follows: 12 12 12 123, 12 123 12 12, 12 12 123 12 and 123 12 12 12, where the 123 is always only one beat like the rest of them. Of course, you can't find these configurations often or in every country.
Such beautiful voices 😍
I'm blessed by this voice❤️
PЯӨMӨƧM ✌️
Siya 😍❤️

Your voice is beautiful effortlessly 😍
@CTO do you have a full performance? This was well performed
Nice!😍
Phenomenal 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾
This is a wonderful song
I have to sing this I'm soo stressed
I have to play this, I'm more stressed 😫
Can Francois PLEASE share the fingering to this piece, because WOW hey...I'm finding it challenging to navigate without crippling tension creeping in.
Love it!!! Amazing singing. The mezzo and especially the soprano are fantastic!! Tight harmonies. So good!!! The soprano is so relaxed and assured, she makes singing looking fun. The tenor could follow her a bit. Maybe his placement isn’t low enough so his sound comes across rather shrill and not as warm and textured as the other four darker voices. Overall, I love these voices and this piece. I’ve watched it a million times. Great job!!!!!
gg well played ma digga
