Ever since Lise Davidsen made her highly anticipated debut with the Metropolitain Opera as Lisa in Tchaikovsky's Queen of Spades back in 2019, she was described as "the most superhuman of singing Scandinavians." If seems she was equipped with both silver-bright top notes and warmly expressive, mezzo-like lower range...but no doubt she had the elemental gift of being able to fill the gigantic Met auditorium with rich blazing tone. I loved her ever since. Here she is with the Norwegian National Opera Children's Choir and the Norwegian Radio Orchestra, singing what may be the most beautiful listening of Silent Night.
That was gorgeous; melancholy, almost. I'm going to have it play on a loop for me today.
ReplyDeleteShe's beautiful
ReplyDeleteAn exquisite voice!
ReplyDeleteI’d like to attend a live operatic performance. This was stunning!
ReplyDeleteI had the pleasure of attending a performance of this Opera at the Met 2019 when my son took us; she was fabulous- a memorable Met Op. debut and compared to other great singers who performed this role, she became my gold standard for this role. Not to mention her ensemble was jaw dropping gorgeous. The next superstar of the opera world.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. First time I have heard her!
ReplyDeleteA totally wonderful performance.
ReplyDeleteAlmost go me teary eyed.
