Sorry for the spelling mistake on PIANOFORTE! Too late to change it now sadly 😢 Mea Culpa
This is great singing!
I didn't realize she had facility in dramatico- coloratura repertoir. She sings forcefully and beautifully. I heard her do a beautiful Ballo in Maschera in Birmingham, England in about 1975. This was at her height, when she did Ring Cycles as well. What an artist!
Simply AMAZING. I need to point out she’s using chestvoice even in the cabaletta which few manage to do in the middle of the ”acrobatics”. Supreme singing…
Thank you to everyone here that has shared their thoughts and memories here on this video. It means SO much to me. Please feel free to share with with anyone who you feel would enjoy it. I am fighting to preserve the very vast collection. Every view counts so your help in sharing will be appreciated
Wonderful! Rita at her best. How I wish I seen her do this. A perfect role for her!
Goodness how fabulous! We are lucky to be able to hear these recordings. Thank you so much.
Pourquoi aucune major ne lui a permis d'enregistrer plus. Heureusement, sa fille fait vivre le souvenir de cette magnifique voix, par cette chaîne KZread !!!! Merci
More music that I probably wouldn't have gone out of my way to hear! But well sung and I have to pinch myself that this is from the singer I believe to have been the finest Wagnerian soprano of her (and possibly any) generation. Your recordings have shown her remarkable versatility!
❤
That was a wonderful night of opera in New Orleans. If I’m not mistaken Ferrucio Furlanetto made his U.S. debut as Zacaria in this performance

For this performance, I am pretty certain it was Norman Anderson. However, in the other performances, I am not sure. When I get to those cassettes, we will know!
Very masterfully done ✔️ 👏
