Woah it’s even more impressive when you read her wikipedia page: “She had less than four hours notice that she would sing that night, and the curtain was even briefly held past 20:00 to allow her to walk the stage. She interpolated a High A-flat (A♭6) into Olympia's aria, which, at the time, was conjectured to be the highest note to have ever been sung on the stage of the Met.”
At 3:54 the guy “playing” the harp next to her I love his reaction to the high note his face is just like “these damn diva sopranos and their high notes” 😂😂🤣
@d brel For real!! Opera connoisseurs will probably argue that she’s over singing or adding to many unnecessary notes but the fact that she’s hitting and holding those HIGH notes with such comfortable ease is so flipping crazy!!
@@mariaashot5648 there's something about being able to perform in front of an audience that resembles a privilege. There's indeed a lot of hard work behind this performance, but music is not just "work".
It's amazing how everybody notices her high note at 3:56, judging by how every single person has a reaction to it, even those we can't even see their faces.
dick richard she goes a whole octave over what it's supposed to be on those high notes. Trust me, it's genuine. At least on 03:50 This was her first time singing that role on a stage. She was the understudy, and blew everyone away in shock.
If you haven't already found and compared the video of Kathleen Kim (for whom Rachel was the understudy) singing the role in the same production, do so. You'll see that the reaction to Rachel's high notes was far more noticeable.
I was there and saw both of them during this run. I wasn’t expecting a performance much different than Ms. Kim’s but the interpolated high notes electrified the audience!
High School students get a kick out of this aria - specifically Rachele Gilmore's rendition... It's UNREAL the notes she hits in this. Kids absolutely love it! Highly recommend it.
When I was growing up we had a CD called "Classical Child at the Opera" that had approximate english translations of a lot of opera greats and I listened to a rendition of this song on repeat. I can attest to that statement. I owe nearly all of my operatic interest to this song in particulat
6:30 minutes of this without a break for her voice! Phenomenal! I love how she stayed perfectly in character through all that applause, taking cute little, robotic curtseys!
What I have to say to all the people who are making less than nice comments about Rachele's performance in this video: Y'all are crazy. I was a supernumary at this performance and Rachele. Was. Brilliant. She only had a few hours notice that she was going on. That loud popping noise you hear at 6:02 is a lightbulb bursting backstage. I shit you not. She made a bloody lightbulb burst with her voice. Stagehands told us later no one had touched the light that broke, it was her voice.
Paul J kinda like how you can overheat beakers with plasma, etc, but they appear fine on the outside but can break randomly due to damage. Glass can sometimes not show any visible sign of damage while being close to breaking, you can sometimes only really tell on a microscope. And it was probably on, maybe old, so more stresses there.
When I watch opera videos featuring male soloists, there is much less comparing in the comments. "He's better/more adorable than [another singer]." etc. Far less nitpicking on looks and clarity and high/low notes or whatever. What is it about women that makes people more critical than they are with men?
I've heard this aria from many artists - but Rachele Gilmore is simply unbeatable. She sings the coloratura A and any note with such self-evident charm and ease that it amazes you. Especially knowing that it was a suddenly stand-in role, practically she had almost no time to prepare for the performance. Bravo!
The highest note stuff is just a cherry on top, I literally can't stop watching this. She blew this performance out of the water. I wish UA-cam would tell you how many times you've seen a video.
Rachele Gilmore, who was Kathleen Kim's cover for Olympia, makes her Met debut with four hours notice when Ms. Kim falls ill, and proceeds to bring the house down.
Sahara She goes a whole octave above what it's supposed to be. As a 15 year old soprano in training, I would personally have fallen off the chair if I was him.
She hits the A flat over high C..was part of the performance. ...the guys reaction was blocked and scripted...as a bass baritone with many performances at the Met under my belt...NOTHING happens on that stage that is not expected.
@@vampireratt oh, like an understudy coming in last minute and taking it to another level? I've seen other performances from this company and those reactions were not the same. The reactions here are far more genuine and you can't blame them.
I often show this video to my friends, who would never listen to "some opera", but after they see and hear Rachel, everybody has chills on their skin :)

i love how you can watch a different part of the cast each time and see how each of them react to her, its absolutely splendid and I'm in just as much awe. especially after learning the circumstances behind the performance.
She's definitely at the top of my favorite Olympia list her high notes are wonderful and her coloratura vocal display are done with such ease & comfort.
This is so cute and charming. I've watched this about 50 times and I love it more each time. I really love the 2 times she winds down and they have to wind her back up again. Her voice is also amazing. I wish I could give this 1000 likes.
Thank you so much for re-downloading this. Rachele has made most of her videos private. I lost about 6. So I start again downloading what I think is a marvelous coloratura. I love her voice. Her F# (or G) just amazes me. I don't understand why she would "private" her videos.
I don't know that much about opera, but I found this video and I'm so amazed. I can't stop replaying it! She sings beautifully and I love watching others in the background freak out by her high notes. This whole video is goals.
Can we also talk about how beautiful her diction is here? Not only does she have a glorious chiaro scuro balance, not only does she have this ridiculous upper extension, not only does she have all of that with a gorgeous tone, not only does she make all of that look easy, but you can also hear every single word. Glorious!
That girl is REALLY superb. Though, i think that she did all this MARVELOUS singing because it was her first chance there and she wanted to win the audience! I hope that she will be smart enough and not waste all her magnificent high notes too soon! Bravo again!!!
I thought I've watched the recording quite a few times, but I never saw the long standing O that they had at the end for her. Well deserved! And those reactions from the chorus look pretty authentic!
Incredible clear and powerful, beautiful sound... brilliant stage play - and in the end that bobbing that graceful curtsy are simply amazing and lovely. Bravo!!!
@MrLupo23 Come on man...are you serious? This was her Met debut, unplanned. I saw Kathleen Kim sing this a few times during the same run and can say that the bold abandon with which Ms. Gilmore takes the coloratura is utterly incredible. It stood in contrast to Ms. Kim's clean, but "safe" rendition. I think this was great, whether there were a few flat notes or not.
But I hear some bulls eye, razor sharp clarity too...one must take in account the circumstances. The last minute call to PERFORM. Imagine how excited she must have been! I think she's breathtaking. I hear accuracy in her tones at pretty open, potentially brutal parts of this aria. Refreshing! BRAVA DIVA!
If a singer can't sing in tune, she does not belong singing at a major house. This is one of the fundamentals of vocal training and used to be taken for granted.
George Chaka on a piece she hasn’t had days and days to practice on? something of literally last minute? even so, she sang and did well enough cause they ain’t kick her out cause I’m sure the professionals understood
@@georgechaka4243 You don't know what you are talking about, this is from the singer herself "In this particular aria, the first verse is sung as the composer originally wrote it, and then the second verse is done with embellishments that are usually chosen by the artist.

And isn't the harp playing guy José Van Dam by any chance? Just a wild guess...

Yeah, probably an understatement. One of those moments you think about for the rest of your life I imagine...
Literally, a thrill indeed!

At the time, it was the highest note ever sung at the met.
It is, but she made their job very easy.
Yes, but the note has been song before. She didn't break the record, the equaled it.
This brilliant soprano is blinking to hold back tears here. She knew she nailed it and she's so full of genuine emotion it's amazing
she is the freaking understudy? talk about an amazing performance, very lucky audience
She's the understudy because she was a newer singer.
Unbelievable!!!
Ahahah I get it :) But remember, Pavarotti was once an understudy too (to di Stefano for Boheme)
Yes! Understudy ≠ Unskilled!
And Leonard Bernstein first made his appearance to cover for the conductor who called in sick. The rest was history

She sung late November 2019, Olympia at Colón Theater Ópera House at Buenos Aires, with a great success 🌺🌷🌹❤️
Cool info!👍
She has a wonderful clear ringing tingling voice. I did like the surprise little sharp highs she did as an exclamation towards the end of her piece!

Agree. I thought the one from Patricia Janeckova was already so excellent, but this is much better.
Beautiful, crisp and clear, with a few incredible notes added for emphasis. Her voice is like a flute in clarity...
She sings like a dream!!
