I don't normally like to listen to coloratura sopranos as their high notes often sound shrill to me. But this lady approaches perfection. Her top notes are crisp and clear, and the fioritura is executed with the highest degree of agility and skill. She injects feeling into the aria too - and if all that wasn't enough, she has a very striking appearance. She turns this aria into more than just a show piece.
Literally screaming, with perfect pitch, timing and diction, at top of her lungs. Simply unreal. It must be an amazing feeling to be able to do that with your voice.
It takes the whole body, with the diaphragm running the show. Having that much resonance in your head on the highest notes is extremely weird, indescribable, and not at all pleasant at the beginning, at least that’s how I experienced it.
58 year old metal head here. Decided to indulge in something different. Wish I spoke French. This lady is amazing. Is it natural talent, or years of training, or both? I had no idea that a human being had this range of voice. Is it supposed to make me cry when I can't even understand the words? I'm confused, and amazed.
@@luciacindy while i recognize that typical singing voice is about the range you descrbied it is far from truth. I can do E1 -> A6 rather okay, and this is not uncommon
Une interprétation magnétique et sublime. Quand l’absolue perfection rejoint une ligne chant stratosphérique et habitée: l’opéra en feu. Humains, priez !
When I was in college (2000s) I coached a couple of brilliant young women in producing a Lakme musical revue, and I thought we were pretty good, maybe even quite good. So humble right now, so many tears.
Non ho parole: è stupefacente! La più grande soprano di coloratura del momento. Damrau ha un registro un po' più corposo che le permette un repertorio più robusto. Entrambe sono divine
Remarcable❤❤❤ j adore l opéra en général ..mais l air des clochettes. Exceptionnelle et lege et difficile..tout en légèreté et en force/Douceur..😪🙋♀️👌NB
Une des meilleures sopranos de la génération actuelle. C'est dommage qu'ils n'aient pas fait une meilleure scénographie et une meilleure adaptation, un gaspillage d'artiste.
Interpretación sublime, tanto por la belleza y la precisión vocal como por la expresividad. A pesar de que los conservadores protestarán, la puesta en escena, con ese encantador teatro de sombras donde la noche se pone con delicadeza, también es muy bella.
@@HojotohoWhereverIGothank you! Now I feel like stupid... Why didn't I think about that? Anyway, I already order DVD and really excited to see whole show.
Unfortunately I do not remember the name of an early 20th century German artist who did animation with cut-out figures against a background such as we see in the middle of this performance. I have been fascinated with her work. Very beautiful to see this. Anybody know who I mean?
The lady seems utterly heartbroken, and the gentleman seems to have come from a TOOL video. Not a negative comment, just a first impression from my somewhat limited worldview. I know nothing of opera and find it very beautiful, if incomprehensible to my uneducated ear. Algorithm gave me a lovely rabbit hole to explore!

Elle court sur la mousse Et ne se souvient pas Que partout on repousse L’enfant des parias. Elle court sur la mousse, L’enfant des parias; Le long des lauriers roses, Rêvant de douces choses, Ah! Elle passe sans bruit Et riant à la nuit à la nuit! Là-bas dans la forêt plus sombre, Quel est ce voyageur perdu? Autour de lui des yeux brillent dans l’ombre, Il marche encore au hasard éperdu! Les fauves rugissent de joie, Ils vont se jeter sur leur proie La jeune fille accourt et brave leurs fureurs, Elle a dans sa main la baguette Où tinte la clochette, où tinte la clochette Des charmeurs.

Where does the young Hindu Daughters of the Pariahs go When the moon plays In the great mimosas? She runs on the moss And does not remember That everywhere we reject The child of the outcasts; Along the oleanders Dreaming of sweet things, Ah! She passes noiselessly And laughing at night Down in the darker forest Who is this lost traveler? Around him Eyes shine in the shadows He still walks at random, lost! The wild beasts roar with joy They are going to throw themselves on their prey The young girl runs And braves their fury: She has in her hand the wand Where rings the bell of the charmers! The stranger looks at her She remains dazzled He is more beautiful than the Rajahs! He will blush, if he knows that he owes his life to the daughter of the Pariahs But he, putting her to sleep in a dream Up to the sky he takes her away , Saying to her: 'your place and there!' It was Vishnu, son of Brahma! Since that day in the depths of the woods The traveler sometimes hears The light sound of the wand Or rings the bell of the charmers!
Adele the British pop singer? I hope you aren't comparing the two. Completely different singers. There are many things that Adele can do that Sabine cannot. I also wouldn't be surprised if Sabine was a fan of Adele's.
@@theoperazone3862 Seriously? How is that even a question? A whole lot which is why she out sells thousands of people desperately trying to reach her level. For one she is able to bring her chest voice to the top of the staff which Sabine cannot do with any consistency. This allows for a powerful sound in a way that Sabine doesn't accomplish. Adele also provides a whole slew of style options such as consonant exaggeration, slides, and runs that Sabine simply doesn't have the level of experience in. How are people so ignorant? In a contest of pop music Adele would win hands down even when judges by opera fans such as myself. We don't have to denigrate one type of singing to promote our own. But rest assured that each style of singing requires its own technique and its own path to mastery.
that she is good there is no doubt!! but have you really never heard anything in your life?? or do you have a short memory? there have been much better singers even in our times, THE BEST EVER mariella devia, natalie dessay, joan sutherland, lilly pons etc etc.....she is good! but not exceptional....

Words are approximate descriptors that music transcends. You are fortunate to have found this! ❤
A voice like this is a gift from God
Both. Talent AND years of training
The pianissimo on the high notes is incredible.
I can't believe i was actually there that night and saw this live !
lucky you!!!
@@DavidBerlin07 FAB!
Tell me that your jaw hit the flor when she did this 1:14 I got goosebumps from the video, I would've died watching it live ❤
Wow we're you fortunate to experience this live. When she hit that high note, yes goosebumps everywhere. Her expression too was just 💞
She is by far the very best when it comes to performing Lakme!
Nowadays definitely
My favourite performance of this part, is by Mady Mesplé. It's so perfect, and effortless
The reigning queen of the 6th octave!
??? 6 Oktaven hat nur ein klavier 😅😅😅 aber keine menschliche Stimme, sie kann nur 3 maximal 3,5 ...gruss von profisaengerin
@@luciacindy I am a coloratura soprano, and I can sing 4 1/2 octaves. Your statement isn’t entirely off, it just depends on the voice type.
@@luciacindy while i recognize that typical singing voice is about the range you descrbied it is far from truth. I can do E1 -> A6 rather okay, and this is not uncommon
Sans contredit la plus grande colorature de notre epoque, elle est incroyable etonnante tout simplement merveilleuse.
Comme je suis d'accord avec vous ! Elle est extraordinaire !
Sabine is an incredible, extraordinarily talented soprano❤️❤️❤️

Я атеист. Я просто слушаю то, что мне нравится.
Every generation a soprano comes along and blows it out of the water!! Brava!!!!❤❤❤❤
Vu en vrai ! C'était fantastique 🤯
Aussi léger, aussi clair, aussi limpide... merveilleuse soprano, même sursoprano !
Ecoutée tant de fois! Que dire, devant tant de beauté? "Seul le silence est grand, tout le reste est faiblesse".
When I was in college (2000s) I coached a couple of brilliant young women in producing a Lakme musical revue, and I thought we were pretty good, maybe even quite good. So humble right now, so many tears.
This piece is PERFECT for her!
Was that a read!? Lol
That was absolutely captivating. What a phenomenal performance!
Non ho parole: è stupefacente! La più grande soprano di coloratura del momento. Damrau ha un registro un po' più corposo che le permette un repertorio più robusto. Entrambe sono divine
I thank whoever it was that sent me to this full version of this aria.

It's good to see that Damrau didn't completely destroy the public's opinion of what good coloratura singing is.

Où va le jeune Indoue,
Fille des Parias,
Quand la lune se joue
Dans les grands mimosas?
Quand la lune se joue
Dans les grands mimosas?
Elle court sur la mousse
Et ne se souvient pas
Que partout on repousse
L’enfant des parias.
Elle court sur la mousse,
L’enfant des parias;
Le long des lauriers roses,
Rêvant de douces choses,
Ah!
Elle passe sans bruit
Et riant à la nuit à la nuit!
Là-bas dans la forêt plus sombre,
Quel est ce voyageur perdu?
Autour de lui des yeux brillent dans l’ombre,
Il marche encore au hasard éperdu!
Les fauves rugissent de joie,
Ils vont se jeter sur leur proie
La jeune fille accourt et brave leurs fureurs,
Elle a dans sa main la baguette
Où tinte la clochette, où tinte la clochette
Des charmeurs.
(imitant la clochette)
Ah! ah! ah!
L’étranger la regarde,
Elle reste éblouie,
Il est plus beau que les Rajahs!
Il rougira s’il sait qu’il doit la vie
A la fille des parias.
Mais lui, l’endormant dans un rêve,
Jusque dans le ciel il l’enlève,
En lui disant: ta place est là!
C’était Vishnou, fils de Brahma!
Depuis jour au fond des bois,
Le voyageur entend parfois
Le bruit léger de la baguette
Où tinte la clochette,
Où tinte la clochette
Des charmeurs.
(imitant la clochette)
Ah! ah! ah!
Where does the young Hindu
Daughters of the Pariahs go
When the moon plays
In the great mimosas?
She runs on the moss
And does not remember
That everywhere we reject
The child of the outcasts;
Along the oleanders
Dreaming of sweet things, Ah!
She passes noiselessly
And laughing at night
Down in the darker forest
Who is this lost traveler?
Around him
Eyes shine in the shadows
He still walks at random, lost!
The wild beasts roar with joy
They are going to throw themselves on their prey
The young girl runs
And braves their fury:
She has in her hand the wand
Where rings the bell of the charmers!
The stranger looks at her
She remains dazzled
He is more beautiful than the Rajahs!
He will blush, if he knows that he owes his
life to the daughter of the Pariahs
But he, putting her to sleep in a dream
Up to the sky he takes her away
, Saying to her: 'your place and there!'
It was Vishnu, son of Brahma!
Since that day in the depths of the woods
The traveler sometimes hears
The light sound of the wand
Or rings the bell of the charmers!
GM my dearest lover ❤.
C' est un air archi classique très bien chanté par SD mais l' interprète la plus extraordinaire reste Mady Mesplé ( on la trouve sur YT heureusement )
Where can I watch the full performance?
Did the description call this a comic opera?? 🤦🏻♀️
No, it did not. Opéra-Comique is the name of the theatre in Paris where this was performed (and also where Lakmé was first performed in 1883).
@@phdelpeuchYeah that I got that. But in the description box it says “comic opera in 3 acts”.

She sing beautifully but the stage setup and the lighting are horrible.
She is great. Shitty staging.
Strident on high note. No holding in pianissimo. Give me Lilly Ponce, Mado Robin, or Mady Mesples (and others).
Also, the correct spelling is Lily Pons.

Hmmm.... I'll take Mady Mesples.
They could play it in a parking lot and it would still be phenomenal.
