6:39 Whistle note! ❤️‍🔥

Elle joue bien cette petite fée (je devrais dire cette poupée, pour rester dans le l'esprit du compositeur). Quelle voix mélodieuse et puissante. Que du bonheur. Bravo et félicitations

I am an Aussie and I grew up listening to Joan Sutherland singing this opera. It is a demanding role, and requires an ability to act, as well. Your ability to do both with equal aplomb is superb!

Excellent acting skills, too!

A coloratura encounter between Olympia and die Sternflammende Königin der Nacht. Amazing. A great coloratura soprano. Bravo! 👏👏👏👏 Cheers from Milano 👍

Your versatility is amazing, a pleasure to listen to!

One of the best voices you will ever hear!❤

I looked up your other clips after watching Tales of Hoffmann. I knew what I could expect, you did not disappoint. I am now a firm fan of your exquisite voice. 🇦🇺

No Dessay, but still enjoyable though.

What a sensational Olympia she is! ❤

che dire? talento vocale e ottima teatralità! vorrei essere stato a teatro ... standing ovation!

Charming performance!

quality..... Bravíssima

They wind up the spring in two different ways, 02:53 man clockwise and 05:53 woman counter clockwise.

OMG just wonderful! Those top notes! Holy Lord! Many sopranos can sing high Eb and E natural, but few can meake them beautiful! I am not an expert, jyst someone who loves opera! BUT you are amazing and I hope to see you perform live one day! Brava!

WOAH!!!! HOLY MAZZILLO!!!!!! Super HOT HOT vibrato as always!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's just SUPER EPIC how you've captured that almost long-lost long-forgotten epic Broadway soprano sort of sound you heard back from the 1920s through the 1960s!

What a beautiful voice! So sweet and the high notes are so amazing! Brava, just wonderful!

Very lovely performance! I really like it!

THE HIGH NOTEEE! You absolutely devoured that!

HOLY MAZZILLO one of my favorite sets of arias!!!!!!! Obviously you've got a SUPER SUPER HOT vibrato, LOVE it!!!! And you nailed them both!!!!!!!!!!!!! My favorite version of "Spargi" is by Mado Robin. I'm super surprised you didn't hit that B-flat 6 like Robin did! Because Robin's version was the first time I heard it, I thought the B-flat 6 was written in there! Like I thought that super high B-flat was part of the actual score! Bet we all wish it were!

Apart she's a good soprano, she's slso a good performer and very funny...

This is the third one I've seen with different cast but no offense Andre Rieu is the best one so far

WOAH!!!!!!! HOLY MAZZILLO, Brooke!!!!! SUPER SUPER HOT VIBRATO!!!!!!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!! Now I just wish that bad wobble vibratos didn't constitute 90 percent of most opera singers, but that's sadly the case. Figured of getting some friends of mine with hot vibratos together to make the 'No Wobble Vibrato Society' or 'Hot Vibrato Society'! Just a thought that hasn't even come up yet.

Just about the only sincere thing about Prof. Schickele is how matter-of-fact his obituaries are turning to be. He passed away on Tuesday, January 16, 2024 at age 88. In the end, PDQ Bach was more memorable. Still, it vindicates his entire life, and I’m sure all the angels are laughing now. Rest in peace, “Professor”!!!

“Madame Goldentrill?” You were known for your trilling even before you were inundated with hosannas about it here on CZcams?

BRAVISSIMA!!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹Excellent Performance!

This is the video that introduced me to your channel and got me to subscribe, Brooke. Most of these arias I've actually never heard before. I love the chromaticism / atonality. Some friends have introduced Ravel pieces to me and they remind me very much of Ravel.

WOAH!!! HOLY MAZZILLO I LOVE this aria!!!! Abby Raiford introduced it to me. Those trills are just EPIC!!!!!!! I'm planning to do a reaction to you singing this once I get a new hard drive for more audio space LOL.

This is THE FUNNIEST / BEST-EVER version of this French aria I've EVER heard! While I'm blind, the spoken dialog makes the plot SNAP-OF-A-FINGER easier to understand! THe easy audience makes it cooler to listen to on top of your super honestly HOT (for lack of more vagueness) vibrato! Emma Matthews and Madý Mesplé both MILK this aria too. Madý's version literally sounds like she was autotuned on the staccato notes even considering the fact it was recorded in the 1970s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey, I've got perfect pitch. Oh and if you're wondering, there ARE several varieties of French bagpipes. My favorite is the Binioux which is a whole octave higher than the Scottish Highland pipes. You'd be able to hit those notes! I'm talkin' B-flat 6!

My favorite soprano in the WORLD - Denise Leigh - introduced me to this aria from her 2003 solo album, which I didn't discover until 2018 (dating myself LOL). Nah, not really, I'm younger than you by 4 to 8 years ("Senior" as in "Senior Recital" at the bottom of your channel doesn't say which Senior you referred to, but I was a Freshman in highschool then LOL). I have a playlist entirely dedicated to amazing renderings of this piece, and because of your hot vibrato, you definitely qualified for that playlist. The old greats such as Rita Streich, Anna Moffo, Barbara Hendricks and Cristina Deutekom are just as amazing, but still you're not the ONLY modern soprano left in the world with an amazing presentation of this aria. Other than Denise, modern coloraturas like Elizabeth Sutphen, Abby Merke if that's her name, and Emma Matthews are all good too.

As this adventurous Italian bagpipe nut / coloratura-lover surfs down your channel to discover some possible arias I've never heard before, I found this. HOLY MAZZILLO!!! THis is a hard aria to find as far as wobble-free sopranos. But, Sarah Coburn, Abby Raiford, Emma Matthews, Natalie Logan and Madý Mesplé are four of my favorite versions besides yours. BTW, Mazzillo is the best Italian bagpipe maker in history, and yes, there are such instruments as Italian bagpipes. It's too bad you can't put links in comments, but if you type in "Mazzillo Italian bagpipes" and filter it by playlists, you definitely should get at least a result containing his recorded music. He was fortunate to be recorded, let alone in good stereo, tragicly unlike Antonio Stradivari. And he's still survived by his two stepsons, elderly mind you, but they still make the best Italian bagpipes ever. I need to hurry up and get one before they DIE! (You think the fact they were being born in 1963 makes them old? LOL). Also, just in case you haven't noticed, spelling DOES matter. "Mazilo", "Mazzilo" and "Mazillo" won't work. Think "Green glass door".

Surfing down your channel to discover some possible arias I've never heard before, this bagpiper / HUGE fan of yours found this. WOAH there Brooke: You know that your SUPER AMAZING version of this aria is one of only a handful of "good" versions of this aria I've heard? Tons of sopranos who cover this have the worst wobbles ever. Especially Damrau! Let me name you some great ones however. There's Emma Matthews, Cristina Deutekom, Erika Miklosa, Hannah Beth Alfaro, Lucia Popp, Rita Streich, Leah Krasilovskaia and Larisa Yudina.

Dear Brooke: To be honest, you're probably one of the best sopranos I've EVER heard in years. I discovered you just before this past Thanksgiving (2023) as I was trying to find rare and good (i.e. no specifically wobbly vibratos) sopranos. You're absolutely fortunate that you don't have that serious WOBBLE which I must confess about 90 percent most sopranos have. While I'm not a singer (I play the bagpipes haha... GO PETER HENDERSON the Stradivari!, and Mazzillo, Strad. of Italian bagpipes), I can usually tell if someone has a wobble because of their lack of their trill dexterity. Then again though, not every soprano with a specifically "hot" vibrato can trill that dexterously, so I've heard it both ways. But, I just wanted to say how much I find your voice just absolutely stunning, and very VERY rare to hear in the world of modern opera singers infested with the wobble-epedemic. I sure hope other people don't put you down for how, let's just safely say "hot", your vibrato is. I've known people who shun hot vibratos and prefer ice-cold wobbles, which I think is the reason why most people disgrace opera. But keep it up, you absolutely awesome coloratura! BTW, as a followup, I've reacdted to some sopranos on my channel. Haven't reacted to you yet but I'd love to.

Brilliant way to present and stage the scene. Very good singing and acting 😊

Absolutely GORGEOUS.. Bravíssima 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💖🎉
