Just heard Miss Morley sing this role live in the HD telecast from the Met. Absolutely lovely, vocally and visually. A long great career ahead for her!

I’ll say it again… Erin Left no crumbs 😫👌🏾

Oh my God! She is so good in this aria!!! I can't with her😂 Damn, flawlessly sang and with incredible iron lungs!

[davepalmer]

Can’t get enough of this! Absolutely beautiful!

Finally. An unforced, dead center pitch dominant, non-wobbly voice. We used to have LOTS of them. This music is brutally difficult to sing. Mrs. Morley’s recent Sophie at the Met was among the best ever there. The excellent Anna Case, who sang the first Met Sophie, struggled with the part (according to most critics) and was subsequently replaced by Elisabeth Schumann who sang it with ease (you can hear for yourself—she recorded the role twenty years later!).

Beautiful singing indeed, and Bryan Wagorn creates a great atmosphere in his playing. Can't wait to hear more!

I looked at the thumbnail for this video, and I thought this was a video for Joan Sutherland.

Gratulálok! Szép hang és gyönyörű pianok vannak benne, fényes a hang. Ez nagyon nehéz ária, az énekes benne van a dalban. Szuper! :-)

One part of me hung on every word. She gave me such goosebumps that I thought I might be coming down with something nasty. Another part of me -- and I know really good singers who have been hung out to dry for this -- who convinced her to wear a dress that looks like it was tatted by someone in the late 1800s? It is SO much harder for women in opera. Tenors can come to rehearsals straight from the gym, without showering. But sopranos have to do the hair and the make-up and the ears and the dress and take a cab across town with a "dliver who no shower". Kudos to anyone who recognizes the references to a pop song and a Broadway musical in that last sentence. LOL Bottom line: that performance is awesome.

where can i find sheet music for this?

[taylordorseybayes]

what's the name of this aria? she sounds amazing!

[voiceofwisdom]

Its not an aria, but a duet with Octavian missing

[frogmouth]

Loath the piano but her voice is super. The problem isn't the pianist: it's the recording and the unsuitability of a percussive instrument for some of this. Its too dominant

[swativyas]

🔥You created an amazing vibe, Have you heard of Sessions ? I think you will kill it there 💯!

Le timbre est assez laid avec un grave gras....
Triste performance !
