Listen everyone, here is a very special voice. No excessive vibrato so common these days, great expressive singing, many absolutely glorious notes, a slight edge to the voice which gives distinct character. All in all the promise of an outstanding operatic singer to be favourably compared with the greats of the past. This was recorded 7 years ago yet I’ve never encountered her before. I can’t find any reference to her performing on the major opera stages?
Thank you for such a beautiful comment. I was with the Vienna State Opera for 5 seasons after this wonderful competition. I'm currently home in South Africa now. 😇☺️
@@BongiLizwi_Edutainment Thank you for your reply. I listen to this recording every time in preference to all others. There is something very special about your voice and the expression you bring to the music. Best wishes to you,
So lovely. Hope we'll hear and see this very talented lady more!
Absolutely outstanding, a genuinely great mezzo voice and the expression in her singing is amazing. IMO 10/10.
We had to delete a comment here. You may of course also state criticial opinions here, as long as you refrain from personal insults and other kind of abusive language. Thank you. (bu)
Un mezzo soprano che si intuisce esteso anche a buona parte del registro acuto del soprano. Una bella voce e una brava artista.
Beautiful. Callas would be proud of her.
Her voice is soooooo beautiful! Wow. A new fan
Wow! To think that there is genuine operatic talent out there is very reassuring. Wonderful!
Thank you for such a beautiful comment

Beautiful voice
Ugh finally a true mezzo, not a blunt soprano - so much color in the lower register. Sumptuous singing. Brava!
Өте әдемі дауыс екен,әрі жақсы орындады!
¡Maravillosa!¡Espectacular !¡BRAVISSIMA!
Bravissima, che bello❤️
simply the beeeeeest!
I really really believed she would take first prize. I was so shocked when she was announced 3rd. Have you listened her Rossini. My word!
Fabulous voice!
Thank you💖
Muito boa cantora.
브라바~~🎉🎉🎉
This was definitely the most interesting voice in the competition. Nakani often reminded me of the wonderful Florence Quivar. Whether she should be singing this dramatic aria at this early stage of here career is questionable. One hopes that she will wait another 10 years before tackling roles like Santuzza. By contrast Ulrica seemed to hold no problems for her and the Rossini was stunning. With good nurturing this is a voice that could shoot to join Yende on the major opera house circuit.
Her last professional opera performance was in 2021 in Cape Town. It seems your prophecy has come true
BRAVA ! ! !
She killed this, unlike anyone in the comment section. 😌 Post your version, or mind your business because she ate this aria and left no crumbs.
ESPLENDIDA!
Miss Nakani, what is the role that you’ve played that has felt the most ‘you’ in terms of voice?
❤
She sounds almost as a true mezzo
1:52 did someone just play the wrong bit?
БРАВА! НАСТОЯЩАЯ КРЕПКАЯ МЕЦЦО!

better in that Rossini.....
This is a beautiful mezzo aria in the style of verismo. Miss B. Nakani's voice is also beautiful but she perhaps wasn't ready for this aria yet. This aria requires absolutely fulfilled bel canto singing with wide, very musical legatos and rich, a bit more matured voice, representing the depth of emotions.
In 'opera verismo' it is a MUST and she wasn't able to deliver this depth and quality here in my opinion. Hopefully she already has improved a lot (2018 now ) at singing, progressed to become more matured with her beautiful voice and talent. :) Thanks
aria difficilissima.
quest'aria si canta con la tristezza e dolore...
la cantante deve appoggiarsi sul colore e la bellezza divina della voce!
questa bravissima giovane donna ha fatta una scelta sbagliatissima di cantare Santuzza con la voce del soprano.Santuzza si deve affrontare con il colore del contralto e non quello del soprano...
questa bravissima ragazza doveva entrare nel personaggio con la sua vera voce,con la stessa voce con la quale cantava Ulrica...
e così poteva vincere il concorso...
Siamo sempre lì: mancano i direttori di una volta che indirizzavano i cantanti..Questi bravissimi cantanti sono lasciati soli a se stessi...
Santuzza è La Nicolai, La Dilova...
questa ragazza è giovane e ha tutto il tempo di studiare e imparare.
parole sante !
hai ragione !
totalmente d'accordo
Santuzza è un personaggio che vive una forte sofferenza interiore, un ruolo difficile da interpretare.
Questa artista comunque ha una bella voce ed ha compiuto una buona esibizione. Inoltre è ancora giovane, con molto margine di miglioramento con un buon maestro.

No
Beautiful voice, but... not a Santuzza.
Yes it's not santuzza. Its hers and it is beautiful. Maybe even better
Cornelius Bates this is Santuzza’s aria...
Quest' aria e' da mezzozoprano non da soprano. Se pur brava
Senza dubbio, ma le qualità di questo soprano sono indiscutibili.lunga carriera a questo ragazza di capacità indiscutibile👏👏👏👏👏👏🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶🌷🌷🌷
It's a soprano role, just lower in tessitura. The composer's favorite Santuzza was Lina Bruna Rasa who was very much a soprano. Further, he went on to state his dislike of mezzos singing the role.
Girl, don´t sing the heavy stuff too soon. It sounds like a little bird is trying to scream like an eagle. Stick with proper roles and approach slowly towards the more dramatic repertory.
Aria meravigliosa, voce molto bella per santuzza ia voce e da contralto,
@Robert Lee, Countertenor Show us how it’s done then, post your version 😗
It's all about proper technique which she technically doesn't have... there isn't any scuro let alone chest notes in her voice, only chiara. Meh, no hope in any modern opera singer except Saioa Hernandez
