Devine voices, gorgeous harmony, beautiful ladies & wonderous presentation. You have it so flaunt it! More elaborate presentations like this for all your arias please.
Perfect! The outfits and hair are over the top, but then opera is over the top. That's what makes it so great. I love this. And I doubt Bellini would turn in his grave over this performance. I think he'd be delighted. Bravo!
Saw them live in Derby June 2007 with a string quartet. They are excellent....apparently discovered busking 6 years ago outside Covent Garden..since then toured worldwide..sang at Jubilee concert, Buck Palace - see their website with obvious url
This clip is really amazing. I am an ardent fan of Maria Callas. And I declare this is as splendid as her own recordings. La Callas would be glad to hear a new interpretation of Casta Diva.
Emocionante, excitante, tranquilo, beleza, exótico, deslumbrante, viciante,... Tanto que apetece neste enorme Tema, tanto que descobrimos de nós. Liberdade tranquila. Beleza desejada. É vibrante!

Me encanta esta canción y los arreglos que le hicieron. Sin duda Opera Babes es uno de los mejores duetos clásicos una Mezzo y una soprano. Tengos sus dos producciones: Beyond imagination y Renaissance, son excelentes
Great debate! just goes to show that Rebecca and Karen are not afraid to buck the system. some will hate, but some will love them. at least they don't stand up and do the same crap that everyone else is doing. everyone wants to be like them in their field, but they are toooo chicken...! operababes, you rock and i for one admire your guts and creativity...
I saw Karen singing at Covent Garden back in 1999, with another girl, down in the wine-bar spot. She made a big impression on me then - quite something to hear them at close quarters. She made opera look young and sexy. This clip does not do her justice in that aspect. Her hair was light mousey-brown (ok - dusky blonde) then. I was smitten !
Que béla música, que armonia, que conjunto de beleza, os trajes, o ambiente das salas, as vozes, a beleza das cantoras, os olhares, o erotismo em que tudo isto me envolve, a provocação de envolvência,... É espéctacular!!! Muito obrigado. What a beautiful song, that harmony, that beauty set, the costumes, the ambience of the rooms, the voices, the beauty of the singers, the looks, eroticism in everything that surrounds me, provoking surroundings, ... It is spectacular!! Thank you.
Their problem is not their voices or anything visual, until paired with the name. "Opera Babes" really? Did they really expect that to go over well? Too bad, cause I'm loving this video and the voices of these women! Very curious to hear more.
What the hell is this? The Abba of the opera world? Sheesh, I've just been watching Caballes performance of Casta Diva, Orange, 1974, and then clicked on this,.. from the sublime to the ridiculous.!
Taste is in deed personal, i love the music, the voices are great, not totally sure about the vid and the costumes though, they could have done something more meaningful
their voices are lovely but their appearance sharply contrasts. Yes they are pretty but their physical beauty is more like that of a showgirls while they have the classically trained voices of proper Opera divas.
lovely lovely lovely lovely and even more lovely... at least these 2 dare to be different instead of doing the same old crap that everyone else does - keep it up girls
Their earlier video was better. I agree with some of the comments about it looking too tramped up, especially in context of the lyrics. I find the mezzo, Karen England (the dark haired one) beautiful.
hmmmm you obviously haven't been to the opera lately. they are all at it. its called marketing. English National Opera, Royal Opera House, Welsh National Opera, etc etc...
fantastic, and of course they know what they are singing about - they are both trained unlike a few other singers out there I could mention who just 'fake' italian and get other people to sing the 'high notes' because they can't. mmmmmm!
I love these girls voices and can happily accept a duet transcription, but do we also have to accept the video which is far removed from a druid priestess singing a prayer to a goddess. After all operatic arias tell a story and this version isn't telling it as Bellini and his librettist intended. The opera babes are gorgeous and I wish them well , but I prefer the Beverly Sills interpretations.
Casta Diva es una de las arias mas contudentes y sutiles de la historia, esta produccion es un insulto nefasto! tienen voces lindas pero por el amor de Dios respeten! CASTA DIVA!!
There are three things Italians are very good at: 1: Sex 2: Eating 3: Judge people who are not italians. So closed minded. It's as if they were not europeans
Well sung indeed... but do the babes have ANY notion what they are singing about? This is a PRAYER by a Druid priestess, which begins with words "Chaste, virginal divinity". And what we get, is a weird hybrid from punk band groupies and Beggar's Opera-esque baroque sluts... Opera is much more than just the ability to produce sound. It starts in the BRAIN, and the brain obviously wasn't there...
If i dont like something i just go and dont listen again..sissel is not a opera singer but she got a nice voice..and she dont claim to be a opera singer..
They look like a couple of strippers looking for business in a Buz Luhrmann movie. Norma is a tragedy and this is too, another case of image winning out over meaning. Would be nicer if they could snychronise their entry consonants. Still, they sing better than me and have a recording contract which I do not. So........Go girls!
Opera Babes are wonderful. Their voices are smashing.
Жили в Корее в 2017 году, по телеку эту песню показали, были рады до усрачки что европейские лица увидели.

Never heard of these ladies before, never heard this music, utterly awesome.

That hits the heart strings and feeds the soul. Most delightful in every way.
are you kidding me? this may be the most beautiful music I've ever heard
I love these women with all my heart!!! i wish i could meet them!!!
breathtaking!! They angels singing on the heaven`s gates!!
What a relief after the Callas tragedy.. when the music sinks down.. there are still two babes to be watched. how ingenious!
devem ser de outro planeta.magnificas em dose dupla.prova cabal da existencia divina.obrigada pela postagem.
wonderful and unique interpretation
Awesome version of this song, i love it

Great harmonies. Never heard this sung by col and mezzo before.

This is BEAUTIFUL as a duet, and beautifully performed! Video is rather campy, but who cares??? Close your eyes and enjoy the music.

Magnífico

How is coming from 2023 😢

Precioso!
This is the link to The Call of Aurora (a chamber opera based on Douglas Mawson's 1911-1914 expedition to Antarcrica)
I hope you enjoy it.
Joe Bugden awesome
What the hell is this? The Abba of the opera world? Sheesh, I've just been watching Caballes performance of Casta Diva, Orange, 1974, and then clicked on this,.. from the sublime to the ridiculous.!
Close your eyes and listen
Sweet jesus they're hot... and obviously EXTREMELY talented.
the video is not connected to anything, but they are singins pretty well. :} The mezzo soprano singer is just beautiful:)
My thinking is with the name, they are trying to appeal to a broader audience.
Маленькое чудо
Taste is in deed personal, i love the music, the voices are great, not totally sure about the vid and the costumes though, they could have done something more meaningful
their voices are lovely but their appearance sharply contrasts. Yes they are pretty but their physical beauty is more like that of a showgirls while they have the classically trained voices of proper Opera divas.
no, still is - after all he did invite them to sing with him in an opera gala at Los Angeles Opera.....
❤
Grazie Bellini U.U!
anyone know where can i get their music score?
lovely lovely lovely lovely and even more lovely...
at least these 2 dare to be different instead of doing the same old crap that everyone else does - keep it up girls
Hahaha Opera Babes! Saucy!
If we got thius on highschool, during "music", I would even have paid attention....
Their earlier video was better. I agree with some of the comments about it looking too tramped up, especially in context of the lyrics. I find the mezzo, Karen England (the dark haired one) beautiful.
which girl is the mezzo?
hmmmm
you obviously haven't been to the opera lately. they are all at it. its called marketing. English National Opera, Royal Opera House, Welsh National Opera, etc etc...
I never got the random 'Si' parts when singing this song?:P
fantastic, and of course they know what they are singing about - they are both trained unlike a few other singers out there I could mention who just 'fake' italian and get other people to sing the 'high notes' because they can't.
mmmmmm!

Casta Diva es una de las arias mas contudentes y sutiles de la historia, esta produccion es un insulto nefasto! tienen voces lindas pero por el amor de Dios respeten! CASTA DIVA!!
the blonde is a soprano.. 2nd one is mezzo soprano
I hope for their sake that they are not innocent as they look on this video....
dis songs greatness is enhanced by da buff ass blond singing
There are three things Italians are very good at:
1: Sex
2: Eating
3: Judge people who are not italians. So closed minded. It's as if they were not europeans
the human race huh? such beauty while others only see war. what a pityful difference of opinions.
Well, divas they may be, but they certainly don't look very casta ;-)
MA CHI SONO??
Of course, we're not!:-D
Well, used to be.
Well sung indeed... but do the babes have ANY notion what they are singing about? This is a PRAYER by a Druid priestess, which begins with words "Chaste, virginal divinity".

this feel soo heavy!!!

but the video is psycho o.O
He ahi el detalle, la decadencia de la epoca contrasta con su propio lujo, aunque lo que dicen el Aria no tiene nada que ver con todo ese rollo ;p
If i dont like something i just go and dont listen again..sissel is not a opera singer but she got a nice voice..and she dont claim to be a opera singer..
Belle fighe
really?...
