Backstage at the Metropolitan Opera with Martha Stewart
Просмотров 33 тыс.12 лет назад
Martha Stewart talks to Peter Gelb about running the Met and takes a look behind the scenes at the costumes, wig-making and set creation accompanied by her nephew, "a very talented baritone." And of course he gets to sing onstage (though they don't show that here) because his aunt is Martha Stewart. I don't know about you, but I'm jealous. *Guest Appearance by Angela Gheorghiu

Susan Graham talks about her take on the message and making of Jake Heggie's "Dead Man Walking" in the PBS documentary, "And Then One Night: The Making of Dead Man Walking" filmed and released in 2000. *I'm working on getting the audio and visual synced up, sorry guys*
the Met Orchestra is actually better than the New York Philharmonic which is a second-rate orchestra at best and has always been.
Thank you
We’ve attended countless performances at this magnificent theater in the past forty five years.
So true dear Thomas Hampson! Thank you so much!
Hampson is horrible.
He failed at opera by singing as a baritone despite being a tenor
You failed at understanding what makes a baritone a baritone....or any voice type for that matter. He's a world class opera singer and you are a world class armchair critic who has probably never sung a role on the stage.
@@baritonebynight He s still a tenore corto, whether you like my comments or not.
Thomas Hampson is a joke. He's not a baritone, he's an undeveloped tenor.
A bit tiring to read your rude (and quite stupid) comments under literally every Hampson video. Are you on a crusade against him? If you are so bright and such an expert, just contact him in person. He will surely appreciate your endless knowledge and most amiable personality...
@@Bumblebeebeebee Lol. Sometimes it feels like your on a crusade against opera.
@@Bumblebeebeebee You really have a bad taste.
Very thoughtful Maestro!!! Terimakasih!!! Danke vielmals!!! GBU Maestro
Learn to edit, Think.
i would die to see this whole thing
Hampson is a fine singer and artist. But he is no Verdi baritone.
@Barone Vitellio Scarpia Someone had to say it.
He sounds like if Nixon were a news anchor
Why everyone talk about young people want start singing. I'm 55 and I start now. Is it too late? Cheers
Never too late
Keep UP!!! And be Proud of yourself!! GOD Will guide and show HIS correct and nice Path for you. 😇😇😇😇🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
“Discipline to me is the ordering of the random”
Great moment when the phone rings!
Brett Owen it is better that one drinking from a blue glass🤔😆
"Gee-ah-como puccini"....that pronunciation
they probably didn't have Italian class in jail.
LOL
How much I love him and his artistry! I totally agree with him including the worst moments are the 15 minutes before the singer goes out on stage! I always want to go home! Joanne Koehn
A class act and an international treasure.
You can me both....although the line it my head when I'm driving to the theater is always "the last thing I want to do is to have to sing tonight.".
What I find, as I get older is: That opera is really the most economical describtion, Take "Voi che sapete..." sung to Rosina by Cherubino. In that brief space of time a hipocritical little worm of an immature brat has to tell the situation and clarify matters the character starts out with explaning he hasn't got a clue about. What matters is not so much what his rendition is: No! Listen to the flute that tells you what goes on in the mind of Rosina and how she sees the dumb log of a husband - the oboe. Susanna is ostentiably NOT participating despite being told to by Rosina as she "manco paroli.." lacks words (which is neither true nor common with Susanna) and can't tell what she thinks - and the guitar is NOT used! There might be pizzicato in the strings or even a harp - but Mozart really didn't like the guitar (and I have come to understand him). I takes a good soprano to smack into her low register on the " avampar " to indicate the age of the oversexed teenager wick a cracking voice. Now this only covers a selection, but if you've followed this far - it eksplains a little about the information density in that short aria - and about how which emotion is linked to what fact of live, and line up how to deal with it. One thing is certain: I opens up a line of thought in Rosina - the most complex character in the opera - an insight into her sharp wit and personality. I have far to much respect for the hard work of the singers and other musicians to ever try to perform (even in the bathroom) myself. But with these fluffy critic words of "projection" and "emotion" you might gain some insight. To ask a singer what it means is about as relevant as asking the plumber to the workings of your digestive system - though he technically deals with the results of said system. You wan't a toilet that works and that is what the artist can - at a price - provide, as a skilled craftsman, And then please - as audience - try to notice what goes on and not focus on wether or not a singer cracks a note or has a problem with overproduction of saliva. Just as you will not consider a plumbers butt-cleavage relevant in the context.
why is everyone being so pedantic over verbal details in the comments? what he's talking about is true, so shaddup and listen XD
+Jason Black hey who's that in your picture?
Conrad Weller from Kyo Kara Maoh
You said: " . . . either as a singer or as a musician." Is the first not (singer) not also the latter (a musician)?
where on earth did u find this gem?
I have a lot of respect for Thomas Hampson; he's very wise. Incidentally, the video title is grammatically correct, because "How to Not Fail at Opera" would be a split infinitive, which is bad grammar.
still, a lot of people use a split infinitive and nowadays it's becoming popular...
He forgot to speak English language. Now He is almost Deutsche
He ain't wise with his roles.
Very true ! I'll try to practice those advices ^_^
Well, I just copied the heading of the video's original posting, but I am pretty sure they are correct- "How to Not Fail at Opera" would be splitting the infinitive "To Fail" which isn't technically correct grammar.
I think you meant "How to NOT fail at Opera" didn't you?
Interesting -- thank you !
Thanks for the info -- it's good advice for every aspect of life !
Does it matter? Any hot silvery-headed man can bear that nickname!
Silver Fox?? That's Hvorostovsky's nickname, not Hampson...
Thanks for the advice, silver fox!
A wonderful analysis of American songs and the non-musician American whose genius permeates all our music. I never of it this way, but Hampson is right on the money.
Nice!
cool! Thank you very much for sharing!! This is very valuable!
