I desagree. It is extremely clean and bright. And the performance is outstanding: Sabine achieve with her performance (singing and acting) the true "unheimlich" of the Tale of Hoffmann ("The Sandman").
I saw part of this on Instagram and came to UA-cam to see if I could find the entire song and luckily I did. Sabine is amazing. I had never heard this piece before, I love it. Jeff❤❤❤❤
Exactly what I thought coming across the thumbnail. Her automaton actions are heightened (as well as her hair) by the Bertonesque effect. She’s dazzling!🏳️🌈🤨🏳️🌈
It is admirable that you wish to voice support for your friend/countrywoman/???, but it is not necessary to compare the singing of one soprano to another. In this instance, it is even unkind. Sabine Devieilhe has a very well schooled voice with a superior technique. She is very polished performer with a high coloratura soprano voice (in one cadenza she went up to Ab in the altissimo). Patricia Janeckova is a charming lyric soprano with a moderate range of only up to an Eb. She is young, but I suspect, based on the New Year's Eve Concert I just watched, that she is done with training and this will be the extent of her ambition. She will sing in operetta where the demands on her slim technique are few but she will be applauded and paid and for many that is enough (Sarah Brightman, Charlotte Church, etc.). Madame Devielhe will have a successful career as one of the greatest coloratura sopranos in the world and she will always be the First Soprano on any program.
i know you did not reply to me. but yet your comment shows me, how little i actually know about opera, singers, techniques and the common 'opera-language' this is exciting! so much stuff to discover :)
Unreal. She is a treasure.The control she has over her instrument is a master class in technique. She drives the aria, the aria isn't driving her. She interpolates the A, but it doesn't become all about it.
This is no woman- This is a Goddess!! Her technique is stunning and her pitch is perfect!! I love the interpretation as well. Ms Devielhe is truly a master of the art of Opera! If I ever have the privilege to see her, I'm bringing flowers!
I LOVE the dynamics in her performance! Also, the hair and movements are clearly inspired by Mars Attacks, which is brilliant because that character was a disguise, moving with a very inhuman quality. It's a nice departure from the clearly clockwork-y movements of some other performances.
3:33 is where slayage begins. I love Natalie Dessay, Diana Damrau, and Luciana Serra, but none of these three had anything like 3:33. This is the best version overall. There are instances where I prefer what one of the other three did, however, this IS the cleanest version.
The short story this aria is based off is nightmare fuel. It's interesting how even tho it has obvious comedic potential, it always conserve at least one element of eeriness in its execution
robert111k Désolée, mais nous sommes bien nombreux, des initiés, à ne pas être d accord avec vous ! Sorry, but, so many , myself included, and we are not some random listeners, and , we absolutely don’t agree with you !
I love how she plays this character! She's creepy and refined like a Stepford wife, not an animated and silly child's dolly as most performances are done. Her voice is stunning perfection, so with all that, you can't take your eyes off her. LOVE!
Agreed, I find myself skipping around the videos of many other performances of this aria, because the "doll acting" is usually a little cringeworthy. Sabine is masterfully reeling us in
Jeff, the God of Biscuits this is pretentious opinion of academia. It is narrow-minded to decide a sound that doesn’t exist in French language is superior to the more natural rétroflexe. There are many unusual sounds in German, so why are those allowed when rétroflexe and nasal are discouraged in favor of things that “sound better” but undeniably make the singer harder to understand for native speakers?
Absolute Spitzenklasse! Ich habe schon einige Darbietungen dieser Arie gesehen oder gehört. Das was Sabine Devieilhe hier vollbringt ist absolut höchste Schule. Diese Klarheit und Virtuosität sucht derzeit wohl seinesgleichen. Bravo, bravo, bravo,....ich bin zu Tränen gerührt!
I don't know how many times I watched this. It's close to hundreds probably. The satisfaction I get out of her high notes is uncomparible. It's the moment when Anton Ego eats the ratatouille. It i so good, it brings tears to my eyes. Everytime. Just amazing.
C'est extraordinaire, c'est magnifique, et oui... un la bémol... comme Dessay... elles ne sont pas beaucoup... quelle merveille!!! Même après la dixième audition aujourd'hui j'en ai encore les frissons... Quelle beauté.
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.
The best interpretation I have heard to this day, crisp, clear, agile voice performed with ease. Simply stunning. Sabine hit each notes like they owed her money.
A-FRIGGIN-MAZING!! I agree. I've never heard this done so impressively! And with such easy. I actually don't mind the slight nod to Mars Attacks. I thought the whole thing was just brilliant
This is one of the best performance of les oiseaux dans la charmille. my favourite one so far.❤ This aria is sung so well and with that little overtones of sabine makes it more bird like and smooth than other versions. 3:42 ❤ is just magical.
The breath control is just out of this world. Those silky high notes r to die for. She slayed this one 12/10
her pitch is so perfect...it's almost scary...even during her extreme coloratura...impressive
Was E above high C? Amazing.
@@RustyRogersit was A flat above high C
The coloratura made my hair stand on end in the best way
I'm not a huge fan of the direction of this scene, but this was possibly the cleanest and most impressively I've heard this aria sung. Brava!
I desagree. It is extremely clean and bright. And the performance is outstanding: Sabine achieve with her performance (singing and acting) the true "unheimlich" of the Tale of Hoffmann ("The Sandman").
ua-cam.com/video/3dlGDNoliH0/v-deo.html. Much better!
@@GlowingMpd That is also very impressive! Much better stage direction, too.

I know she's a great singer and her high notes are superb, but let's talk about what she did at 3:32 - 3:41 WOW 😱 that was REALLY IMPRESSIVE!!! 👏🏆
She takes aria to highest level.
Oui, bien vu!😲🤯
Yeah, but what about 3:22?
sounds like a bird😍
Insane!
I saw part of this on Instagram and came to UA-cam to see if I could
find the entire song and luckily I did. Sabine is amazing. I had never
heard this piece before, I love it.
Jeff❤❤❤❤
Same here!!!...And it is amazing
Same here haha
Same! Ahahahah
😂
I did exactly the same and my jaw's still dropped
This is my absolute favorite version of this aria. Her surgical precision and mastery of tempo and dynamic variance is unparalleled.
ua-cam.com/video/3dlGDNoliH0/v-deo.html. Much better!
I love the nod to "Mars Attacks" lol
I know! Right?!?!
Was this the only reference in the production?
I really don't think that's what they're going for. She's just a glamorous beehived 1960s barbie doll
I was thinking, " I can't be the only one thinking this right now!"
Exactly what I thought coming across the thumbnail. Her automaton actions are heightened (as well as her hair) by the Bertonesque effect. She’s dazzling!🏳️🌈🤨🏳️🌈
one of the best versions on youtube.
her high notes sound so soft and as if she is singing this with ease
marvellous!
as Patricia Janeckova

No.. natalie dessay or sumi jo is all time best
I like Luciana Serra's version
Unreal. She is a treasure.The control she has over her instrument is a master class in technique. She drives the aria, the aria isn't driving her. She interpolates the A, but it doesn't become all about it.
The level of technical excellence in this woman is amazing. She really is one the most "perfect" singers out there.
If I could sing like this I would NEVER shut up. I'd sing in my sleep!
drôle
This is no woman- This is a Goddess!! Her technique is stunning and her pitch is perfect!! I love the interpretation as well. Ms Devielhe is truly a master of the art of Opera! If I ever have the privilege to see her, I'm bringing flowers!
mon dieu quelle voix.It's amazing, incredible. là on frise la perfection. Bravo Sabine Devieilhe.

4:50 I DIED. SHE'S FANTASTIC!!!
I agree, it's awesome!
3:22 blows my mind.
Her singing makes me tear up, in general.
Her voice is out of this world! It's breathtaking.
3:33 is where slayage begins.
I love Natalie Dessay, Diana Damrau, and Luciana Serra, but none of these three had anything like 3:33.

Damn! That was thrilling!
Christopher Costa
Omg Fr!
I started screaming lmao
Holy darn you're right.
Every soprano I've heard sing this song so far have had something special to give to the song, but that is just amazing!!
IKR! I wish she used that staccato during the verse with the Ab6 instead of doing legato
Damn, that gave me goosebumps.
L'art de la perfection et de l'esthétisme. Que de beauté et de pureté. Merci Sabine.
Philippe de garrigues
À la française…
Vivat le cabaret parisien !…
Vivat !
Un chef d'odeuvre😇
This gal is something else! My goodness, her voice is a gift to the world!!
Chère Sabine, vous êtes pour moi une vraie enchanteresse, vous avez définitivement converti une metalleuse et fan des années 80. Merci 💜
pas mieux
I think this might be the best performance of this piece I've ever heard. And the a-flat, flawless.
Flawless indeed! I wish I could go that high...
Extraordinaire de précision, une voix magnifique aussi, bref: la perfection
The short story this aria is based off is nightmare fuel. It's interesting how even tho it has obvious comedic potential, it always conserve at least one element of eeriness in its execution
There is nothing beautiful than a French soprano singing a French opera 💙💙
If you like nasal sound, without a doubt.
robert111k Désolée, mais nous sommes bien nombreux, des initiés, à ne pas être d accord avec vous ! Sorry, but, so many , myself included, and we are not some random listeners, and , we absolutely don’t agree with you !
There are Italians soprano singing Italians Opera. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@robert111k it's the American singers who are nasal sounding when singing in french!
A certain greek soprano beats them all. 😉
Эта версия пожалуй лучшая из всех, что я слышал! Браво!
I love how she plays this character! She's creepy and refined like a Stepford wife, not an animated and silly child's dolly as most performances are done. Her voice is stunning perfection, so with all that, you can't take your eyes off her. LOVE!
I suspect that it's hommage to an alien lady from Mars Attacks
I agree! stepford wife was my thought too!
Agreed, I find myself skipping around the videos of many other performances of this aria, because the "doll acting" is usually a little cringeworthy. Sabine is masterfully reeling us in
It sounds like she was even able to incorporate the authentic french guttural R sound in coloratura, astounding!
She should be doing it. She's French 🤣🤣 . Be proud of your culture

Yes! And it's so cool.

The best Olympia ever.... omg, it is so beautiful...
Je regarde cette performance pour Nnième fois. Je ne m'en lasse pas
Sencillamente...!! F A N T A S T I C A !!
So far, this is the best version ever 😍 ❤️ 💕 🤩👏👏👏 bravo' sabine 👏👏👏
Best version I've ever seen of this song. Perfectly executed, amazing voice...

I used to think Beverly Sills sang this best but my mind has been changed! Chills! Holy moly, NO scooping! Thank you for posting.
C'est extraordinaire, c'est magnifique, et oui... un la bémol... comme Dessay... elles ne sont pas beaucoup... quelle merveille!!! Même après la dixième audition aujourd'hui j'en ai encore les frissons... Quelle beauté.
It’s all about personal preference. For me, Sabine’s version is the best one :)
This was the cleanist performance ever. Just perfect 👌
Absolument vertigineux ! Purement renversant ! Profond merci, Mme Devieilhe ! Bravo !
Sabine did very, very well in her interpretation and execution of this piece. Bravo!!!
Fantastic! The sound, the control, the beauty of movement a welcome departure from the usual doll shenanigans! Wonderful artist!
No conocía esta versión , pero me ha dejado totalmente maravillada!! Que voz más espléndida y clara. Tiene unos matices espectaculares!!Increíble!!
Es difícil describir la grandeza de esta actuación.
One of the best renditions of this song. A true coloratura.
Un'interpretazione superba ! Negli acuti, la voce è pulitissima e tagliente come una lama di rasoio . Bravissima !
Her beautiful song Ís outof this world, and off th charts
So graceful! One of the most refined versions on UA-cam.
What an astonishing vocal control in the highest register. I am reminded of Rita Streich.
Mai avrei creduto che una voce umana potesse eseguire cose simili, così perfette, pure, chiare, un talento unico. Bravissima Sabine.
Stunning. Cleanest version I've ever heard and completely impressive, even if the stage direction was...lacking. IMO. Absolutely fantastic.
ua-cam.com/video/3dlGDNoliH0/v-deo.html. Much better!
She's in a category all her own!
Beautifully sang !!!
She looks like 1960s time traveler in her futuristic clothe😂😂😂
Look is inspired by Burton’s “Mars Attacks” Ithink. Briljant!😂🤣
Well, the Idea was to Make Olympia as Fake looking as Possible
The hairdo and her way of moving is from Mars Attacks! LOVE IT!!
Sabine Deveille!
O sol brilha no céu, nas águas do Tejo, em todas as manhãs!
Saudamos as manhãs ao som da sua voz!

Quelle incroyable interprétation
She makes perfection sound real and possible! Chapeau!
Oh the thrill of the trill ! Very accomplished technique and pitch perfect !
Elle est la meilleure soprano de nos jours!❤
Wow. I think I have just found my new favorite soprano. Smooth as silk to the tippy top. No shrieking at all. Amazing.
Fantastic. Including the look and moves. Extraordinarily well performed.
I'll watch it again! Wheee!
There are no words to describe this presentation, it's just amazing!!!
Sabine is one of the best singers ever!!!!
Her accuracy is unreal!
Лучшее исполнение что я слышала!!!
i like seeing all the different doll costumes from different directors!
Her range is stupid good! The clarity of that Ab6 is incredible!
Magnífica, excelente, grandiosa. Diva absoluta ❤
The higher tones are just too seamless and they seem to flutter in my head, if I may describe it.
That perfect, fluid voice. Can't get enough of it.
Ive never liked this peice till Sabine, and i really dig her hair
Grazie Sabine! Sei la migliore!!!👍👍👍
Elle est trop forte .....c'est la meilleure ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ya he visto varias sopranos intentar hacer esta aria y nadie hace lo que Sabine, ella es la mejor 💙💙💙💙💙
Amazing! What an extraordinary Voice! And such exceptional, rare Technique! Thank you so much for this video!!
Escucho esta aria una y otra vez y quedo fascinado por tu perfección en tu voz clara, pura extraordinaria… Bravo 👏🏻 je taime Sabine ❤
That was Perfection, I loved Dessay 's rendition but Devieilhe' s is unreal, you are Olympia. Bravoooooooooooooo🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

@@GlowingMpd I already knew Maria Aleda, she's fabulous
Chilling Stacattos ever 😍
Realmente a maior interpretação que pude visualizar!
Estupenda!
Magnífica!
That crowd wanted to throw flowers at her so bad lol. Beautiful
what an artist!!!…a national treasure for this performance alone!!A LIFETIME OF BRAVO!!!!!!!
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.
Screaming?
You don't really get opera do you?
😓
Epoustouflant
! Quelle voix mon Dieu mais quelle voix. Merci à me Devieilhe je suis eblouie. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is PHENOMENAL 🤩
Straordinaria 👍❤
She's amazing 👏🏼 😍 ❤️
I love this version! Some passages are so elegantly sung!
In 2014 she was 29 years old omg 😮 what a brilliant futur Miss Devieilhe will have 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Поразительно! Одно из самых лучших исполнений!
Irréel ! Sublime
Идеально исполняет. Качество голоса - супер. Большая певица.
Extrêmement beau!
