CLASSICAL SOPRANO surprises audience with STAR TREK | Conductor Rainer Hersch

1 horn ruined the whole mix. I see a whole string section. I heard no strings. Just 1 horn. Thank God they had a mic for the soloist. She saved the performance.

Music from the 1960ies reloaded ...

Space, the final frontier
These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise
Their 5 year mission
To explore strange new worlds
To seek out new life and new civilizations
To boldly go where no man has gone before.

As a lifelong Trekkie - never considered how that theme was played - so only now understand it's human element. Bravo and \V// ..

To boldly go where no soprano has gone before! 😊 🖖

Since I don't see it elsewhere in the comments, here are the official lyrics to this piece. (Although they're never sung in the show, they did appear in a book called The Making of Star Trek in 1968.)

Beyond the rim of star-light
My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me.

It looks like she’s not singing that to me. Either that or there’s a sync problem.

May the people of the 23rd century look back at this, and realize how hard we were trying.

How fab that would have been to hear live

Several years after I heard this performance for the first time, I still get goosebumps from the memories and admiration it generates in me

Fascinating.

Now, have her sing the lyrics.

So much fun to see and hear the original Star Trek opening theme sung and played by an orchestra! Thank you!

Beautiful

It's opera Jim but not as we know it.
not as we know it,
not as we know it,
It's opera Jim but not as we know it,
not as we know it, captain.

I felt transported!

Fabulous!!

Not funny at all. Outstanding.

Great!

Where no soprano has gone before.

I cry everytime!

Bravo

She was never going to drink the bubbly, you don't want to do that as a classical singer.

Say what you want - but the opening gave me the chills❤️❤️❤️

Signing off with the Vulcan salute! 🖖 ❤

AWESOME

Long live Star Trek!❤❤

not possible by any "normal" vocalist...they study their whole lives for this...thank...love...

Ich will diese Startrekscheiße nicht mehr hören oder sehen. Es war nie lustig, es war nie toll.

She's OK, I'm diggin the french horn.

Very well done, BRAVO!

Absolut sehenswert und unterhaltsam

I watched this thinking it was going to be a 5/10.... easily 9.

Lyrics from a poem by Carol Marcus, circa 2264

Fascinating.

gawdamn, that VOICE!!!!!!!! Fantastic rendition! Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, how much fun is that?!! 😀

Fantastic

🖖

That horn player needed to be fired. Flat-noted idiot.

🖖

A human Theremin.

She brings a gift to toast and share and he puts it on the floor. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Never thought of that before, but obviously the Star Trek theme must be the party trick of every soprano. Good job.

Outstanding performance! 😎

What an outstanding performance! I got goosebumps all over!
Red T is right: Nerd-Brain's and Music Brain's excitement at the same time. Even better than that star-Wars-Flashmob in Cologne, which was my all-time-number-one-Nerd-Music-goosebump-favourite! :)
Thank you so much for your fabulous work!
