Had the privilege to be in the audience last night for this rare concert! What a thrilling voice and what a wonderful, personable woman she is. Her rapport with the audience was unique.

tout est beau!!! A entendre et voir Lise Davidsen parfaitement à l'aise, on croirait que cet air est facile à chanter👋👋👋

[brodereck]

A magnificent voice. I saw her a couple of years ago in Don Carlo at Covent Garden. Sublime!

Despite the tumult in the world outside, I feel Lise Davidsen ushers in an era akin to those of, say, Birgit Nilsson, Renata Tebaldi, or Maria Callas, where a soprano performance is a penultimate event to look forward to.

First thought, when she hit the first note: "Dear, God!"

Some in the comments know sooo much better than the judges in all the competitions she won, and the management of La Scala and Metropolitan opera houses, the two most famous in the world.

Tidenes vakreste jente og Årtusendets beste stemme ! Jeg liker ikke opera, men elsker stemmene til Lise Davidsen og Mario Lanza ! Crossover songs ! Jeg elsker hver millimeter av Lise Davidsen ! Hun er verdens nydeligste elskling !

She needs to sing more Wagner. She has the power and what a voice

[antonyoflaherty]

Haliday was one of the few that put in a good shift.

Glorious! but still it's not the same thing as sitting in the theater: it sounds a bit dry and lacking the enveloping warmth

[ulrikewermann]

Darkened voice, therefore wobble and neither clear highth nor depth. Why today singers do not learn the basics?
