Well, this is much better than lots of opera performances in our days !!!!

Oh my GOD! the pupil actually has a beautiful voice! It sounds like a natural, true, soprano voice rather than a male falsettist.

[@rupert681602]

OMG!! It is almost 2 am and I am watching your videos non-stop. What a wonderful sense of humor and artistry! Your acting, singing, and your act of love of bringing opera to everyone is a blessing. Thanks!!!

[@MLamarmusic]

Ira, this is truly a master class. You sound absolutely divine!!!!

[@loecher8479]

the greatest thing I’ve ever seen

[@Alexmeister25]

The actor who makes the black pupil of the masterclass has a beautiful falsetto voice and very naturale looks like a sopranista and I believe that it should be a wonderful falstista and the voice remembers of a woman, since besides a beautiful voice is very natural also :-)

The funniest thing to me is that, unlike today’s young artists, they sing in tune.
