Ophelia’s Madscene - historically informed performance (A. Thomas) 

Clearly inspired by the famed early recordings of Nellie Melba, especially in some of those now unusual (and, to some, weird) histrionic effects of the coloratura. A really well sung and well acted performance, it's hard to make it both things simultaneously! I especially enjoyed the little subtle nuances of the phrasing that make all the difference in this scene so full of delicate but meaningful phrases, with well developed middle and lower notes, not just high lying fireworks.

Just discovered this and I'm obsessed! The visuals, the sound, the acting, the voice....absolutely haunting!

You performance and voice gave me goosebumps and I could feel the pain, hysteria, hopelessness and suffocation. Wow

Incredible! Brava! Brought tears to my eyes!

The absolute BEST Ophélie I've ever seen...overwhelmingly moving. 😢

From Coffee Cantata to Thomas!! What an angelic voice!! 🧖🏼‍♀️

I love how stunned people are at the horribleness of her mad scene, they’re almost afraid to clap. When it’s done right, that’s how it should be. Also I really appreciate that you actually have a chest voice, and that your middle isn’t just a whispy throw-away until you get to the high notes. So many coloraturas are just high notes and the rest of the voice is big yawn.

The most sensual soprano voice I've ever heard in my life. And thanks for the exeptional performance. The cutting of the wrists send shivers down my spine. I'm eager for more! BTW: A Dutch cup of coffee brought me here ☕

Magnifique! Merci! Tant de sensibilité alliée à cette voix sublime!

Недостаточно аплодисментов для этой потрясающей работы!!! Очень жаль, что публика не способна оценить по-достоинству 💎 бриллиант!

Hermosa cantante! Una bella artista! Coincido con todas las opiniones. Una soprano con sólida voz de pecho, coloratura y una gran interpretación dramática. Felicitaciones!

Your performance of this is spellbinding.

extraordinaire! Quel plaisir ! Une interprétation vocale et théâtrale authentique, une version qui nettoie les oreilles !!! Un sens honnête, recherché, et personnel de la vocalise et des effets de voix, une mise en valeur de la partition! Du relief ! Une profondeur qui ne se limite pas à des jolis son bien exécutés, bien propres et bien lisses. Une performance qui ne se limite pas à une performance athlétique et sportive! Merci Lucie Chartin! tellement émouvant

This is an incredibly touching rendition! Brava!!

Prachtig! Ik heb je vrijdag in Heerlen in "Amadeus" gezien. Ook erg mooi gezongen! Heel indrukwekkend hoe je de rollen uit verschillende opera's ten gehore bracht. Een mooie vrouw met een evenzo mooie stem. Helaas was er geen "meet and greet", ik had je graag gesproken. Groet, een jongeman met een passie voor alles wat klassiek is! (Waarschijnlijk een van de weinigen van onze leeftijd in de zaal die avond; het zag vrij grijs, zoals meestal het geval lijkt te zijn bij klassieke concerten.)

This gave me chills!!!!! Brava

Oh boy, thanks RU-vid for recommending this again. I had the honor an privilege of being in the choir and assisting the Regie in the production of Hamlet in Argentina also conducted by Schvartzmann, so I'm quite familiar with how Historically informed these performances are, so I can appreciate how great this performance was. Bravo to you Lucie!

absolutely brilliant!!

Absolutely delightful

Votre interprétation est vraiment sublime. Bravo!

Spellbinding performance. Thanks.

Acting is incredible and high notes clear as a bell

Wonderful...

You sound so much like Anna Moffo it’s amazing. Also, the shade in the title 😂

Absolutely stunning in every way. Miss Chartin, you have an incredible voice. It's great to finally hear someone not afraid to use chest voice these days. And use it well. BRAVA!

Crystal-clear diction! It is possible to understand EVERY WORD she sings!

Brillant and possibly the most heartrending version I’ve ever seen. I do notice the microphone and wonder how that much that freed you up to really go so deeply into the emotional and physical journey. Brava!

Dit was absoluut onverbeterlik! Baie baie dankie :)

C'est si magnifique ! Tout simplement magnifique

Oh wow! Beautiful singing!

Wow, just wow! Intriguing and lovely voice plus wonderful performance. Brava!

J'adore 😍

Bravissima...

C'est magnifique! :D

SHE JUST BUSTED A F SHARP 6 OH MY GOD TEACH ME YOUR WAYS

Brava

❤

The smokey color to your voice reminds me of Anna Moffo! Beautiful!

I'm speechless. To have even the slightest dream of being able to utter something about this, I would need a whole new language unlike any other language that has ever existed on Earth. It would require fundamentally new linguistic concepts and a completely new culture, and it would be cognitively impossible for anyone to converse in it. No sentient being or even multiple sentient beings in cooperation could create such a language. It has to be delivered to us from a higher power. And that wouldn't be enough, not even close. It would be just an infinitesimally small and meaningless step characterized by nothing but extreme desperation. Trying to accomplish such a feat would likely result in the end of the world and the replacement of the human race with nobler beings.

Magnifique, vraiment ! Mais qu'en est-il de ce micro sur l'oreille ? N'était-ce pas du son direct au théâtre ? Ou était-ce simplement pour l'enregistrement ?

B R A V I S S I M AAAAAA!!!!

Я вижу отчаяние в глазах этой певицы…с чем же оно связано? Может быть с тем, что такой прекрасный спектакль не видит весь мир..?

Was that an f# at the end?

What a magnificent performance. Riveting. Pity the orchestral accompaniment is so anaemic.

Beautiful performance. I had to sign out on the suicide. A bit too realistic.

So terribly sad you quit singing, we are all losers for this loss of talent, now gone!
