@@mariezenaida you are right about his speaking voice. He indeed has a light, high and soft speaking voice in contrast to his dramatic and dark singing voice. Kind of strange. Many other tenors actually have deeper and more resonant speaking voices however their singing voices are lighter and less dramatic or dark than Kaufmanns. Weird like that dont you think?
@@dreamthedream8929 Head voice engagement and also higher larynx position. There's many bigger voiced people who talk in the 3rd octave, giving the illusion their voice is smaller. Kind of a weird example, but former NBA player Richard Jefferson has a very hooty and kind of high speaking voice on TV broadcasts, but I heard him slip all the way down to around a D2 when he was mumbling during a podcast interview. Speaking voices can be deceiving.
@@somerandomguy84 but i think that kaufmans speaking voice doesnt match his big singing voice. Mostly opera singers speak the way they sing, in the same range and of course with loud and resonant voice as they have trained like that. His speaking voice if soft without much resonance, light and high compared to his lower resonant singing voice. Simply put i wouldnt expect a voice like that to come out of him when he sings based on his speaking voice. While other tenors, baritones and basses when they talk yeah i can see how they could sing the way they do, it matches well
It was fantastic to see Fanciulla in cinemas! Thank you once again for a stunning production! This was the first time I had seen Fanciulla, although I'd listened to some of the music before (and Andrew Lloyd Webber obviously has). Kaufmann's voice is so powerful, but what does it for me is his acting. Every character he portrays on stage comes to life!
I hope he is paid. This is on the Met’s own channel and vividly illustrates how the company is caught between the stars in the foreground and the company members who make it all work in the background - falling down and getting back up
lieber jonas deine überraschung zum 90 ten hat mich sehr getroffen. habe ja alle liederabende von dir gehört die mir immer seh sehr gefallen haben. angeln ist nicht mehr -leider. habe gerade das walbühnenkonzert wieder gehört.klasse,sehe dich immer hinten als dunklen schopf-so war meine erste begegnung.evl.möchte ich dich mal auf ein kleines stündchen besuchen es gäge viel zu erzählen auch was ich fü kollegen hörte--also weiter toi toi toi-dein verehrer wilhelm vom gärtnertheater die cd mit tessier bekam ich auch geschenkt-passt sehr gut zusammen
I love Eva and Jonas who were vocally and artistically fantastic in this opera. The entire cast was also great. It was such an entertaining performance!! C❤❤
I don't know if this version is available on DVD, but the Domingo-Milnes-Daniels performance at the Met years earlier is. I love the 1992 version. Here's a link: www.imdb.com/title/tt0256020/
Pilar paco, es decir opera on líne, cuando Jonas Kaufmann, estaba, promocionando, como en un Espejo Belmonte de San José, Beca de nuestra Marta Esteban en Berlín, Fidelio Claus Guth, Emilio Sagi, Teatro Real de Madrid, Guillermo Carbonell, una noche, con Puccini, Fidelio Zurich, Hala bah, hala, bah, Miguel Angel de Miguel Martín, maría José Rebullida Julián carmen villegas, Teresa López Pellisa, Mari paz pellisa, Josep Inglada, Corita, pachin, ramón Mur Gimeno, Jesús Pastor, Sandro Santana, José Javier de Miguel Martín, etc
Pilar Paco, ex alcalde el Javi, José Javier de Miguel Martín, a los pocos días usted vino, le preguntaron, y usted respondió, Mi mujer, Nuria, ha dormido en Málaga, hasta con el abrigo encima!!!
Brilliant performances by all, especially the conductor who this idiot "interviewer" left until last and cut off leaving him rushing back to pit. MET really needs audience questions instead of this idiot to avoid wasting time and insulting the leads by talking about playing cards while actors roll their eyes waiting for any query about the actual performance.
People comment sometimes that he is baritonal, but listen to that speaking voice. He is a tenor. A gloriously rich tenor.
ediblemarie actually on this video he has a terribly tired voice
@@FilonProd Oh, I hear that too, a bit. But I've heard him speak on other videos also.

I do hope this will become a DVD! Fabulous performance!
Magnifique spectacle total merci Monsieur Kaufmann quelle chance on a d'entendre un tel artiste sur vous

I thought you're a critic of Kaufmann?
@@tsquare076 this is opera has some odd views sure but a lot of what they say is spot on.
For someone born in Munich, his English is better than most people's in Queens, NY !!!
1:03, hope he is ok :-)
Kevin Mansilla thank you is really good
I hope he is paid. This is on the Met’s own channel and vividly illustrates how the company is caught between the stars in the foreground and the company members who make it all work in the background - falling down and getting back up
I do hope also this opera will become a Dvd!!
I saw this performance at the Met, and it was glorious to experience.
Yep, it's all about you, Patricia!
@@Marcel_Audubon Thank you!
@@Marcel_Audubon Wait a minute! I thought you said it was all about me! Now it's Patricia too??
Thanks Jonas, for your wonderful performance, I've seen it in cinema...:)
I was at the Met for the matinee performance. It was thrilling! Jonas, Eva, Lucic, all fantastic.
Yep, it's all about you, Dave!
@@Marcel_Audubon You're right. Thank you so much!

The interviewer is renowned American soprano Susanna Phillips. She's sung leading roles at the Met practically every year since around 2010.
