    I don't understand such harsh comments here. She has a wonderful voice, she is perfectly in the character, her diction is great, overall she gives the aria everything it needs. People compare her with Flemming, who hasn't done as good job with Rusalka as Opolais is doing here. Contrary to Flemming, Opolais lives the music and projects all the emotions the water nymph is going through in this piece. For me she could easily be compared to Beňačková, who set an international bar with this aria in the late 1980's. Well done, Kristine!

    Shall I let this moment of beauty pass without comment? Indeed, I shall not. I have enjoyed many talented sopranos’ interpretation of this wonderful classic by Dvorak, but this performance by Kristine ranks among the top two or three. She is amazing. How is it I have not had the pleasure of her voice until now? I don’t know, but this will not, cannot, be my last.

    Every singer is a unique experience. Kristine is an extremely passionate singer. She is at the same time very straight forwtard in her phrasing. She hardly ever drops the end of the phrases. That is something that Renée does in a very studied way. She sings in a way that is secure for the conductor too. She can take more chances than she does here and use less voice and more shading. But this is a wonderful singer and a beautiful woman. I could imagine listening to her for a lifetime. Can't you?

She just bowled me over with passion & intention in her performance.Just going back to listen again,all the best,John from Australia

    I heard this beautiful love song by Dvorak for the first time sung by Patricia Janekova, then only 13. After searching youtube versions by several sopranos, thus far only Patricia and Kristine Opalais produce the proper separation of notes in the triplets that make the song so delightful. I love the way these two equally beautiful sopranos don't slide through those passages!

    • @juliaflowers4409
      @juliaflowers4409 Před 4 lety +1

      But there is big difference. Patricia is Slovak by origin and living in Czechia, so there is not problem with pronauncion in Czech. Kristine is another case and there belongs big respect for her.

  • @TurandotFanatic
    @TurandotFanatic Před 11 lety +1

    Besides the clearer pronunciation of all singers I checked on CZcams, is also the best "andamento" for this aria, in my opinion. She does not run, or drag the andamento. Brava!

    Wonderful voice, she's got a timbre of personality, with metal, beautiful vibrato, all under excellent control. I especially like how she uses the richness of her voice to the advantage of the slight variations and nuances of the song. She's certainly a singer of great promise and will enjoy a great career, I hope so (for the sake of the Opera fan world). Her undeniable beauty won't be a problem, at least for those who don't have envy problems with beautiful and talented divas.

    Oh moon, stay a while,
    tell me, where is my love ?
    Tell him, silvery moon,
    that my arms enfold him,
    so that for at least a moment
    he’ll remember me in his dream.
    Shine for him into the distance,
    tell him who awaits him here !
    If the human soul dreams of me,
    may he awake with that thought !
