I’m so glad you used Luca Pisaroni for this. Truly one of my favourite voices and performers of this time! I’ve seen him in recital multiple times in Vancouver and he is always such a joy to watch.
He's great!! I'm glad i found him for this, cause i don't seen his name very often.
Anna, this is such a pleasure watching your input in the videos!
A smart, individualistic, intelligent, knowledgeable and charming opinion cannot but win me as a fan😊. Yehhhh! Wishing you all the best from Down Under here in Sydney, where I can recommend to you the marvellous productions of Pinchgut Opera (tomorrow’s opening is Dido and Eneas!)
❤
Just listening to new ones as you break them down! So excited to be on this Journey!💖
Such a fascinating look at one of my favorite arias! You've earned a new subscriber for this excellent video 😊
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Amazing reaction my friend Anna!!....In 2017, the music world was shocked by the bursting onto the scene of a 22-year-old singer named Dimash Kudaibergen, who performed on the famous Chinese competition show for professional singers called “The Singer”... It was just It was necessary for this young man to make his first appearance, making a cover of one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse", to be considered from that moment on as the best singer in the entire planet....No one in the musical field had ever seen a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges above 7 octaves and several semitones, that is, all 88 keys of a digital piano, which reaches a little more than 7 octaves and as if that weren't enough, sing the more than 12 languages...Since then all kinds of experts (Vocal coach, analysts, singing teachers, youtubers, reactors, etc.) have dedicated themselves to reviewing their presentations to try to understand how someone can sing this way...The incredible thing is that that presentation in China was in 2017 and 5 years have passed since then, but what Dimash has done in these 5 years is to further improve his wide vocal range, which is currently practically above of the 8 octaves... The Covid pandemic stopped his concerts worldwide, all with tickets sold in just seconds, via the internet, but at the same time it ended up catapulting him to the top of popularity worldwide...Anyway, since I think you are one of those reactors who have not yet met this impressive singer, here is the link of that presentation in China in 2017, with the song S.O.S. and I would like you to mention my name as the person who recommended him to you..It is a more recent video than the others, so it does not have the same number of views as the previous ones, which have millions of views, but it is a more complete video, with an intro, subtitles in several languages and with the improved quality of audio and sound....ua-cam.com/video/bDX3FhmyNac/v-deo.html
What a lovely channel! Thanks for sharing this interesting video
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it
And another great video, Anna! I not only learned a lot about opera, but also about women! :)
I'm starting to study and sing opera, I'm 15 years old. I think the information you give is really interesting and I really like how you sing in your other video 🤗💖🎶
Thank you! So glad to hear that you're starting your opera journey! 15 is when I decided to become an opera singer 🥰
Hoepfully gonna post more videos with me singing, but believe it or not, I'm nervous to do so! 🤐
That was a wonderful analysis and presentation. I would argue, though, with your assertion that the overture to Don Giovanni contains zero themes from the opera to follow. Actually, the opening chords of the overture are the same as those when the Commendatore comes to get the Don at his solo banquet at the end of Act II. But yeah, that is about it, the only thematic thread connecting the overture to the rest of the opera.
The Overture to Von Weber's "Der Freischütz" is one of the best examples I have heard of an overture in which the musical themes mirror themes in the subsequent opera, and in order of appearance. 👍😃
Hi Anna
Long-time opera lover and singer here.
I very much enjoy and applaud these very elaborately prepared and entertaining posts of yours. Brava!
I particularly love your personal, feminine reaction to these arias.
You're usually spot on.
In this aria, though, it seemed to me you got a couple of things towards the end of the aria a little smudged.
"Sua passion predominante è la giovin principiante" actually means "his main passion is for the young beginner (virgin)".
And "purche porti la gonella voi sapete quel che fa" means "as long as she wears a skirt, you know what he does". He actually grabs her skirt there to reinforce the point. 😃
Thank you for this! Did I translate it wrong? i'd have to watch it back, I don't remember anymore 😅
Thanks! It was about time you did Mozart! (Although you did do a full video preparing for Cosi.)
FINALLY, i know. I looked back over the composers at a certain point and was like... Wait, what??
@@operaanna I've watched it all. Will rewatch it and comment some more ASAP. By the way I recently read the original play by Tirso de Molina (well, the first written work we have of the DJ myth, which may much older), The Scoundrel of Seville. It's fascinating to see what Mozart and da Ponte kept, took away and what they borrowed from other sources, such as Molière's own Dom Juan (weakest of the three works imo). And it made me see the opera in a completely new light. The "hand given" for instance I thought was a nice line, nothing more. But it's an essential leitmotiv. It appears both in La ci darem la mano and in the Commendator scene.
I sing bass-baritone, occasionally bass, and this is the greatest aria. Smart, funny, sarcastic, vocally wonderful.
Excellent! Congrats! Loved to see a Brazilian meme in this video 🤣
f.......educed, loved it 😃😃😃
This "at the ast minute" overture is also one of the greatest overtures ever, with its, literally terrifying opening cords, for the first audiences it would have been absolutely hair raising. Mozart himself remarked about the lack of rehearsal could mean some of the notes might be 'left on the floor!'
It really is!! I can't imagine hearing that for the first time in the theater at the premiere 🤯🤯
Don Giovanni was my first operatic love after Carmen and it remains to this day my favourite opera. I must also confess that even though he's meant to be a scoundrel, I always thought his life seemed quite fun and I admired him as a seducer. Yes, yes I know. But Albert Camus said pretty much the same thing about him. I always thought there was a lot of "don't do that cool thing" message in the opera. He still needs a ghost to be defeated and even threatened by hell fire he's still defiant.
Oh he's for SURE badass, nad for some reason I'm like strangely attracted to him...but it might be bRyn Terfel 🤣🤣🤣
@@operaanna Oh I wouldn't like to look like Bryn Terfel (he reminds me of a former colleague), but if I was a Don Giovanni looking and sounding like Samuel Ramey, Rodney Gilfry or Simon Keenlyside in their prime? Well, yes, I'd be a complete cad. No but more seriously, I think Don Giovanni often comes off as an honest rascal, while the others are puritanical hypocrits. Of course it depends of the direction, but that's often my understanding of the opera.
Brava, Bravissima e la Tua pronuncia in Italiano é ottima!
Grazie mille! ❤️
@@operaanna Prego.
È la pura verità.
Buon lavoro.
Regarding the Catalogue aria itself, I think it has some positive elements to it: Don Giovanni finds beauty in all kinds of women and if he breaks a few hearts, he does bring them happiness, at least for a while. And I'm pretty sure the older ones did not mind having a much younger lover.
While i follow your logic, i wouldn't excuse his actions because he makes the women happy for a bit. The hurt he inflicts on Donna Elvira is in my view a good representation of how the other women he leaves behind feel. She just is in a societal position to be able to take the time and effort to try and find him (and maybe feels pressured *because* of her status) Given the time of the opera, the promise of marriage was probably a really big deal for her, and who knows how long he pursued her before she finally believed him ...
I do agree with you on the elderly women aspect of it, though 🤪
@@operaanna well that's why I said "some positive".
@@operaanna I've read the original play by Tirso de Molina and the introduction by the academic who did the translation. It really made me see the opera in a new light. Apparently, the reason why Don Juan is thrown in hell has little to do with his philandering. His cardinal sin is to lie to the women he seduces, promising them things he will not honour. If he had been upfront and transparent about his intentions, he might not have triggered heaven's angers. So it's not his many conquests that is reprehensible, it's the unnecessary suffering he caused. The means, not the end. As a teenager thoug, the aria sounded to me like a big "don't do that cool thing".
Hello! Found you looking up Der Holler Roche reactions. I'm not a huge opera fan. I'm not even really a BIG fan. But I love a few songs from Faust, ... The Pearl fishers??? Sorry I'm not good with that title. And I adore several in pop culture like the flower duet, nessum dorma, and o fortuna. My personal favorite tenor is Peter Schrier singing Standchen.
Could you possibly cover that, the seductive duet from DG, or the jewel song??? Another I would love context to I can't even spell, and my copy paste will not work. But it is used in the movie dangerous liaisons...malheureuse imphiginie??? I had to go back and forth from my favorites list so many times to type that!
I'll get on these ASAP! The jewel song is a great idea and I think i know the others you're referring to. The awesome thing about the genre is that there are so many styles and things to leave that we can listen (and maybe love) opera without having to listen to ALL of it.
@@operaanna sounds fun! One of the songs I was referring to but couldn't remember the name of the title at the time and was too lazy to look it up starts "Je Crois Entendre" I think. I could have badly misspelled those
About the last second composition. Well, there was allways the question of getting paid - for the composer. Wolfgang was very disappointed with the payment he got for the Haydn quartets, so as soon as advance payment didn't come - he stopped composing. Actually he made a living out of being a gag man. When a composer absconded and ran quicker than the creditors. Raupach fled to Russia and Mozart wrote a patch.
As to the performance quality then? I don't think the late arrival of the score mattered very much - in so far, as Mozart knew the conductors and musicians personally and he tailormade the compositions: Knowing full well, they would add ornaments etc.
Mozart even wrote major arias and duetto to somebody, that could not sing. Papageno is an example. It was originally "sung" by Schikaneder the owner manager of that opera. When you are on a budget, why waste good money on singers?
Queen of the night was similarly a last second addition as a similar story had just opened, and some OOMPH was needed, and Mozart made the aria - specifically for his sister in law to break her neck.
Pisaroni also made a version of this piece in a more modern setting. It's even more heart breaking.

please please please please do Nessun dorma Luciano Pavarotti please please please please.
That's my plan for the next tenor aria (ahhh don't tell it's secret 😛)
@@operaanna Thank you so much and I won't.😅
You don't see often an opera singer with actual acting skills, but Luca Pisaroni kills it! Wow!
I struggle a bit with myself that this overly sexist aria and this overly sexist operas are among my absolute favourites of all times, but then I say to myself: At least here, it's taken to such an exaggeration that I can't take it seriously, but as a joyful depiction of male fantasy, whilst in almost all other operas (and plays and novels), the sexism is more subtle and yet, dead serious, which is probably far more disturbing.
Questa è l'opera lirica eccelsa. Non annoia mai. Wagner Verdi Puccini.... 😂
ANNA - sweetheart ! Pleeeze isolate your microphone. We can hear every moved, knock and bump, which spoils your excellent articles. Also a pop screen wouldn't go amiss.
Your material is facinating and YOU are gorgeous x.
but how?? Yeah, a pop screen would be good!
my favorite opera bar none. I saw Bryn Terfel as Leporello(same performance I saw Isabel Leonard for the 1st time, she was Zerlina and knocked me off my feet, but the whole cast was incredible). I am depressed that the Met has now "modernized" and all three da Ponte/Mozart operas have become unwatchable for me. as an aside, da Ponte and Casanova knew each other, and described each other as the rake. da Ponte migrated to America, and he left his library of Italian literature to Columbia
I've been meaning to read da Ponte's biography, I've heard it's fascinating. Sadly the modern takes are usually more disappointing than thought provoking...
How about Idomeneo, Fuor del mar or something like that? I love your videos and your "super little big" mouth . The Catalogue seems to me a kind of a "proletariat revolution", don't you?
sorry for my "little big shit' english
tutte nel cor vi sento
Do you mean because Leporello sings it? I never really thought about it like that, but given that in his first arietta he says "Non voglio piu servir" about 9x, I think you can definitely interpret it that way!
Something from Idomoneo would be wonderful! Love that idea
@@operaanna Hope you enjoy
Nathalie Stutzmann
- impressive!
I think it's really hard to translate to other languages while preserving the true meaning of the text..
Oh 100%! We do our best though....
@@operaanna much appreciated
Well, Mozart was a master in "workarounds". After the Haydn quartets, which paid astonishingly badly. He wanted to be sure he got his money.
I don't like Don Giovanni - not because it isn't good; but because it is so pitch black. Hint, don't invite the statue to dinner - he might come.
Do you want to be silent over an opera piece? You destroy an opera piece!
I'm reacting to it, that's how a reaction video works. If you don't rather watch the performance I have it linked in the description box.
@@operaanna Yes but if you want only to explain the argument, you could put the piece at last, or to put it beginning the video, and then comment the same one. It's better, in my opinion. Don't forget that I am Italian and opera has a lot of Italian composers, even if this is Austrian, Mozart you know, instead breaking and breaking the sounds continuously. This is only an advice.
@@combattere100 I don't understand what you mean really. I also sometimes talk through the video (and stop it so often) b/c I am trying to avoid the video being blocked. This is what I've found works for me as a creator, and many others also like it.
In regards to you and lots of opera composers being Italian, I'm not understanding what that has to do with the video 🤔
