It's amazing how hard these people work. For years and years and years, like olympic athletes. Never giving up, continuing to go for it, trying and trying. It's just so inspiring how hard people work to become the artists they eventually become. I mean, they work this intensely starting at around age 10 to 12 and continue with this kind of attention to detail and this intensity, constantly. It makes me appreciate them all the more when I see what it takes to become a top singer. Wow.

So true... I want people to notice how hard every single one of artists works on their craftsmanships.. it always amazed me.. and sadly so many places to share still...I hope someday classical music has another renaissance. so many musicians have the chance to share whatever they have. Thank you so much for noticing.. it means a lot; truly...

They don’t start at 10. It’s more like 13-15 for females and 16-17 for males. If anything is happening before then it’s mainly choral or cutesy musical theatre. Boys don’t have any clarity before 15 due to puberty changing literally everything.

Only that hard work and suffering doesnt lead to artistry. That' s a fraude of the capitalism. What we hear in this Video is exactly that, hard work, but surly that isnt Art.
Don't forget the pianist...they are always forgotten he's marvolous! It's an open eye when she's giving her lessons a wonderful person and singer ofcourse, otherwise you can't do it!

For many singers, the pianist is simply a karaoke player.
I enjoy watching these masterclasses a lot. Joyce, besides being very skilled at teaching and singing, is just a bundle of good energy. She really gets extatic when a pupil does something good. I love that.

Thx for correcting people's spelling. What an enrichment to the life of everybody. Well. I wouldn't call these classes generally useless. It depends on pupil, teacher and setting. I have the sensation that for some singers it can be a push in the right direction. Receiving thoughts they never had or approaches they never thought of. For others though it may be just confusing and making them insecure. Plus, these events also serve as an opportunity for networking. Which is also quite important I believe. PLUS: DiDonato is an intelligent and skilled teacher who has very good imagery when explaining something.

This is amazing...it really is an art!! The work...the discipline!! The accompanist is a gift too...they are so patient and humble as well and brilliant in their gift to play. What an amazing and exceptional teacher!! I've heard opera, but never knew how much training goes into it.

Opera is amazing! It requires passion, talent and above all dedication.
There was something just so special about this master class. I've watched it several times. Joyce brings out the best in her. Amalia is wonderful. I can't wait to see her in something.
This shows what an incredible teacher she is. At about the 20 min mark something amazing happens
What a God given gift, so rich a soprano voice, physical beauty and stage presence. Her voice goes straight to touch my heart strings. Would love to hear her sing the Micaella aria in Carmen and the Lui aria in Turandot!!! Great future for this amazing soprano. Pray that the Met will discover her.
Joyce is such a gifted teacher... BORN to teach! Amalia could not be more charming. Adam is lovely. 21:57 just makes me smile so big, no matter how many dozen times I play it. To understand opening, lifting, buzzing, etc. I watched the video (helps to watch ALL of them in this series) a few dozen times, with headphones that were turned up until I could easily hear the difference. Magic. She's taught a very gifted soprano who sings beautifully (I think my favorite out of all the master classes) how to touch an audience in the feels, lifting her performance skills and technique in such a way that lifts talent into mastery. These master classes will stay with these students for the entirety of their careers... if they're smart, and this one is. On a side note, WOW Joyce's hair cut and wardrobe - omg - love love love.

I agree. I think Joyce's master classes are the best. I watched some by Kiri and i was shocked at how forthright Kiri could be. She told one singer "ok now you are just droaning on and on. Put more life into it." Rene Fleming is a bit boring. Her exercise with the blowing through the straw is boring. But i think Joyce's masterclass with Jakub Orlinski is the best one.

Heartfelt lesson. I almost cry for what she sung after her lesson.
I love how surprised and happy the soprano is when she suddenly nails it. So genuine and refreshing!
So good. Joyce is one of most accurate, skilled, and kind master teachers any woman singer could wish for. 💖

Gorgeous!!!!! What a rare and girgeous gift to be guided corrected advised taught educated polished refined by Joyce DiDonato...what a gift from God...like a warm hug from the baby Jesus Himself!!!
Her timbre is dark and slightly veiled with a big vibrato but oh so nice to see how it can be opened up to bloom in its full glory!
i also was thinking i wanted to see her on stage...which is rare for these classes. I'd cast her today! I'm a tenor, and how marvelous it would be to study -- like these fortunate people are -- with Ms. DiDonato.
This soprano is very good and indeed, already she's got a lot in spades for the future.

I think there's a video on KZread of Robin Follman doing it. She was an opera star for about 25 years and starred in about 50 operas. She stopped after being assaulted byva conductor and dealing with a lot of stalking, and removed almost all references to herself from the internet. She is a soprano who has it all, and was always in high demand! She has several videos of her doing Mimi, where the acting and singing are just superb. Check it out.

It's coming from America and Russia these days, it seems. Is it that it's become more popular in America than it is in Italy, so more people are studying and starting pretty young? Robin Follman is a great example of a wonderful American soprano. She has starred in over 50 operas all over the world and she's American.... etc.
That just might be the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. I once tried to counsel a mezzo in the very way who pushed her middle and lower voice, but we had limited time. I wish we'd had time to do more work!
The pianist though :)

Her jaw is shaking in the top note near the end. That's not a good habit. It should resonate and vibrate freely. Anyways it sounds fantastic. She is very good.

Another way of thinking of it is that composers love writing dropping, dying phrases for dying sopranos - but your soprano job is to send that dropping, dying phrase outwards and upwards over the orchestra and to the back of a very large theater....

Remember the voice is a wind instrument, Joyce is visualising the sound as spiralling on the top of the air column. Think of a ball at the top of a fountain jet. Amalia was letting the ball lower and fall, Joyce says the jet widens and narrows but the ball must not fall.

However, it’s a common misconception that they cannot sing because they sing with nasality; that’s simply not true. They demonstrate a lot of control. But, it is not traditional opera - rather, something new that is intended to sound opera-like.
