@@samuelrameybassbehindthecu177 Well, since it's "Opera" and all, I do know HOW to act. It just kills me all the more, of course. So I won't say what Robert said when he saw the shirtless photo.
Happy Birthday mr. Samuel Ramey!! You are my favorite singer ever!! You are an inspiration! I discovered you when I was 14 years old and I fell in love with your voice! My favorite role of yours is Escamillo from the 1987 MET Carmen production! Also Don Giovanni from 1990 by the MET as well! (Well sincerely, I love all your roles very much!) You have brought much happiness into my life with your singing and I admire you profoundly! Thank you very much for your contribution in the opera world! I wish you the best of the best!!! I'm happy you have a youtube channel now!! PD: I adore your hair! So stylish! ❤
I totally agree. I love your voice, presence, behaviour, the true gentleman. All the best wishes for birthday 🎈I admire your coloratura in Rossini and Heandel arias. How did you train your flexible, smooth, bright powerful coloratura? Very few bas - baritones have ability to sing like you. Unbelievable. Your breath control is simply perfect. I spent dozens of hours listening to you in my teenage and university year's. Always love you. Matthew from Poland, somewhere in eastern part of Europe.
With all due respect, Samuel Ramey is one of the most beautiful singers in opera, his hair has always been so amazing and over time it has stayed perfect. I would so much like to have beautiful hair like that, he could give tips on how to take care of hair. Haha! #GodBless!
Hello Mr. Ramey, I like to say that I admire the talent you've brought to the world of not only opera, but overall music throughout your career along with a gifted instrument that you possess. I do have one question in mind: was there any musical singer, in your opinion, that you were influenced by? I happen to remember watching and listening to past interviews where you've mentioned listening to recordings of great singers like Ezio Pinza, Jerome Hines, William Warfield, and, if I'm mistaken, Feodor Chaliapin and Marcel Journet, when this was before you had started your career in the classical music world. I also admire both Pinza, Hines, Chaliapin, Warfield, and even Journet. In addition, I always thought their recordings were flawlessly good. So anyhow, I wondered if the talent from any of the greatest bassos and bass-baritones of the golden age and before may have brought influence on you. By the way, happy belated birthday Maestro! I look forward seeing the next episode for Q&A. Sincerely, Victor
Hello and happy birthday mr Ramey 🙆🏻♂️ I have two questions 1) How was working with Zeffirelli? It must be such an emotion to be around someone who was there at the golden years of La Scala and worked with legends like Maria Callas and Luchino Visconti. 2) Is it true that in a tournee of Don Giovanni with Ferruccio Furlanetto as Leporello, you two were used to switch roles? Why? Who gave the idea? It did pay off? Thanks again for your time, maestro🙆🏻♂️
Good morning, love watching the videos :-) You did a lot of travelling and spent a lot of time away from home. How did you cope with that? Any specific travel nightmares you can share? Which of the European languages do you speak? (Quite a few questions, I know!) Kind regards, Dagmar
Sam, It says so much that you remember castmates, performances, roles, pianists and such throughout your career. If I can find the picture of you and me at U of Houston post talk and pre "Attila" (HGO) I'll post it on Facebook. You and your wife are fun to watch. Cheers.
Maestro Ramey please talk us about how could you sing Rossini and Haendel colratura with that ease you are perhaps the only bass that could sing Rossini as it was ment to be , you are simply the best in Maometto 2 and in La Italiana and La Gazza Ladra
"Wig or Real?" - a great game! (I only wish I could play this game; sadly, at 57 I have what might be called an extremely wide crown!) The wigs departments must have earned their money in managing to squeeze your own mane under the wigs shown here, and you must have nearly melted under the lights. By the way, the character at 11:18 must be 'Anna Banena'!
So nice and very funny video! With long hair you looked great !😉 I can imagine how intimidating is Riccardo Muti because my dad looks a lot like him, especially for hair!😂 And yes, I confirm, he also has a very good barber ("The importance of being .. Figaro?"). I love watching reharsals' footage!🥰 I love this series! Can't wait to see the next episode!!!
Molto divertente! mi e' piaciuto molto! Ho due domande: 1) dopo la "tosatura" ho notato un piccolo orecchino sul lobo sinistro, ha un significato particolare? 2) a proposito di burle, tu Maestro ne hai ricevute di particolarmente divertenti o pesanti?
