The Life of Pretty Yende 

SOUTH AFRICANS we are proud of you my SISTER.

Her range and timber is incredible, but her joy for her art is inspiring!!!

Both as an opera lover and as a South African, I am so very proud of Pretty Yende. What a outstanding vocal and acting ability. An opera star!

My wife, daughter(10) and me had the pleasure to listen to you at Rigoletto in Hamburg last week. Thank you for your impressive performance! I think you felt how the audience loved your act.

Her voice is soooo beautiful and she is so humble...😇😇

Pretty is so pretty- her face, her voice, her sweet soul. I think she is especially gorgeous without heavy makeup!

Gorgeous voice! I hope I get to hear her one day.

I had the joy of getting to visit the Met several years ago as a student to see Lucia di Lamermoor, and though I was literally in the last row of seats in that huge space, her voice carried like a bell. So beautiful! I still rewatch her version of Elixir of Love as my favorite!

I am the number one fan of pretty..some years ago I watched her performing in Durban ICC.. it was mind blowing

You were fantastic yesterday I nearly exploded with pride❤❤🇧🇼❤🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Absolutely beautiful voice

Wonderful. She has it all and works hard; voice, talent, beauty, grace and intellect. She is so right about the NY Metropolitan opera - that audience is intense. They are sensitive to every word, phrase and gesture. There are moments when - in a space of nearly 3,000 audience - the silence is hard to believe, until the moment ends. Even at other great world houses, much of the audience is there for "an evening out" but at the Met, they are there to steal and inhale and make themselves a part of the music.

She is fantastic!

Wow ! A beautiful spirit ! And a superb voice ! May you continue to be blessed and continue being a blessing.! You have worked hard to get there 💕💕💕💕

Such a soft speaking voice, yet so powerful in song! Pretty, You Rock! 💃💃

Wow what a voice 😍 👏 👌

Thank you for following your heart and your dream! You are an inspiration and a beacon!💝👑

Just WOW. Pretty Yende is spectacular!!!

Beautiful

I agree with Londolani. Good for Pretty. She makes us all proud.

Absolutely amazing voice, and such an unassuming person !!

May God continue to bless you. You are remarkable.

Oh you are so, so lovely. You are absolutely stunningly beautiful and that angelic voice. You are a wonderful person and you made us soooooo proud at the coronation. I just adore you. May you have a huge, huge international career singing. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great voice

Given opportunity and adequate funds the cream always rises to the top. This leads me to reflect on all of the great talent that South Africa lost out on and continues to lose out on due to the inequities created by the Apartheid regime. Well done! Keep spreading the magic!

I'm so glad you decided to sing opera!!!

U go girl!!

Pure magic, i am transfixed, she is very lovely.

pretty yende parece como si fuera a explotar el escenario con su estruendo de voz eso demuestra que es una soprano completa un trueno de la ópera

❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

i think SAs are one of the most beautiful people in Africa

See you in Hamburg end of May

❤️🇱🇨!

Absolutely adorable. Thank you for your performance of New Year's Concert 2022 in Teatro de Fenice. We enjoyed it in Hamburg - Germany - overwhelmingly.

Life is freedom in self-expression.

Undeniably beautiful voice that she has but can someone explain what is happening at 2:40 😂

Beautiful person & singer. 7 min is hardly enough to cover her life as a singer. I stay in SA but possibly never hear you live Pretty. Have 2 CDs of yours. Are there more?

Now she is a real beauty harry that what you call beautiful and talented very normal and natural if you really wanted a coloured woman there she is

Lol?”, what’s that part about parents not telling her about apartheid 😆😆😆 I’m sorry , do you need parents to tell you about apartheid, you mean you don’t feel/see it wena😕 Gal , bye

Its a nice story about a nice person but she is far from a great opera singer.
