- This is the second to last song in Act 1 of Gioachino Rossini's comic opera The Barber of Seville. Just before this • Everyone Freeze! (Ferm... Count Almaviva, disguised as a drunk soldier, was under arrest until he secretly showed the officer about to take him in the insignia of the Grandees of Spain (apparently an order that he belongs to that's proof of his nobility or something) causing the officer to let him go with no further questions asked. When this video begins, Doctor Bartolo, who feels personally wronged by the "soldier", is so flabbergasted that he's gone catatonic.
NEXT: • Ma signor / Mi par d'e...
I'm a genetic freak with a weird voice -- a cis woman with a tessitura roughly equivalent to a baritone and a range of F1-F6. In this video you will hear me repeatedly go down to A♭1 like a champ. Furthermore, while I don't portray her on camera, I recorded audio for Berta's part and it's present in the mix; due to that, the highest note you'll hear me sing in this video is E6. Nearly five octaves in a single song! Pretty nifty, eh?
I have since learned I'm super mispronouncing the Italian "g", oops. I'm a Spanish speaker and this is hard for me okay!!! (No but when I was practicing this I was working off of the score alone, I should have been more regularly referencing professional recordings, so that's my bad, sorry.)
This is part of my project to sing all of The Barber of Seville by myself. You can check out the rest here: • The Barber of Seville
A♭1 like a champ! Very impressive!
