Today we’re listening to French soprano Sabine Devieilhe sing Ophelia’s Mad Scene from Ambroise Thomas’s opera Hamlet. It is soothing for the soul to hear Sabine Devieilhe. She seems too good to be true.But creaminess of tone is not all that Devieilhe has to offer. Her voice negotiates the challenges of this scene so gracefully that they seem almost effortless, flowing as fluidly as freshly melted chocolate.
The NYCity Opera revived the Thomas HAMLET with Sherrill Milnes. Unfortunately, it was a very long slog and seemed endless. This is indeed a lovely Aria but the Thomas is not as a whole.

Loved the flower duet - felt lifted - good timing
