Troyanos was a simply marvellous singer. She had a quiet intensity that enlarged the qualities of her voice, which was essentially 'soft-grained' as she called it, very different from the Italianate mezzo sound of the 50s and 60s. She remarked this was the only Verdi role she enjoyed 🤭

I saw Ms Troyanos in LA with NYCO as Octavian .I was 18 yrs old and an adoring fan. After her performance she went for a bite to eat in Music Center restaurant all alone at the counter in a full length leopard coat over her shoulders. I approached her and told her how much her performance meant to me. She was very sweet and thanked me. I remember this like it was yesterday.

Troyanos... truly one of the underrated stars of all opera. Such a wonderful, intelligent woman who died too soon.

Love love love this - to think she had such a troubled youth, having been in a kids foster care home and then died tragically so early of cancer, makes me even more thankful that so much of her artistry has been captured for us all to enjoy.... Brava. And bravo to you, Lohengrin O for sharing....

Amazing lady, truly!

She was my very first Eboli, and to this day the favourite! Gorgeous singer and a heavenly beautiful woman.

Was fortunate enough to see her at the MET many times as Eboli, Venus and Octavian. She was simply magnificent!

Troyanos was the jewel in the crown. Amazing artist. Troyanos and Varrett were the greatest Eboli’s ever.

Seamless “column” of voice registers, unbelievable!

Heavenly voice. Beautifull depth. As high and clear as a bird.

I was lucky enough to have hear Troyanos in Boston a few times in the mid '70's including her gorgeous ROMEO in I Cappuletti with Sarah Caldwell at an old movie theater where that company performed.

I remember her Adalgisa in San Francisco. I was in standing room behind the upper balcony, and I remember the reverberation of a particularly beautiful note, not loud, making its way up there.

What a wonderful and generous singer.

My very first Cleopatra (I forgot which production), Cherubino (c. Böhm) and Eboli (the same production) And I remember my deep sadness as I knew she has gone, few months after dear Arleen. RIP Thanks a lot dear Lohengrin 💐

Always wonderful. Such an elegant and intelligent singer.

What a talent that left the opera world too soon.. Brava!

Molto Bene. I love Troyanos. I had the good fortune of hearing her live once, at Lincoln Center. The voice had an amplitude and warmth that these recordings can't capture. Huge voice, with a golden shine.

As a history buff. I always liked her eyepatch in this production. To say nothing of her excellent singing and characterization throughout the performance.

Yes! Didn't the real Eboli lose her eye in a duel as a child? Ha. I also love the attention to detail by the stage director- ie, the ladies all curtsy to Eboli. In the context of this opera at least, she is second in rank only to the queen at court and is owed due deference.

@@nathandavis3002 Oh, but then she should've said half Greek half German. OK, I think I'm getting OCD. :)

The great, almost sui generis Tatiana, who could do seemingly anything - - or be anyone--with her chameleonic voice and commanding presence. It was astonishing to read of her stage fright, because she was such a magnificent stage creature, whose characters were drawn with such immense care and detail. She was certainly one of the greatest artists I ever saw, and I was very lucky to see her often, in a variety of roles. Never equaled, greatly missed.

Love this!! I was in Tannhauser at the Met when she sang venus.

She is quite a presence with her height towering on stage

Phénoménal, superbe, merveilleux et inspiré. Quelle splendeur !

Johanna Fiedler, in Molto Agitato, writes of Troyanos' severe stage fright (once almost walked out of a Parsifal, another time driven to tears by Battle-who else, ha ha-feuding with Pinnock). You'd never know from the consistently high quality of her live performances. (Incidentally, she is also my favourite studio Carmen.)

I was lucky enough to see her perform as Eboli and Octovian.

Certain singers I listen to that are just MUSIC ITSELF POURED THROUGH THEM... One of them is Troyanos. another was Verrett. A vocal presence and musicality that always shone through.

Ma che bello !!!! La Troyanos fu forse il Mezzosoprano( insieme a la Berganza ) più fantastica del 20mo secolo. La sua presenza in palco scenico è come bere un Chianti sulle Cascine ...tarde pomeriggio nel mese di luglio: Cioè il Cielo !!!!!

Gone too early and suddenly--her death was a blow to the operatic world, particularly the MET-- with many songs waiting to be sung. A video of "O' Don Fatale" will compliment this performance. She attacks the aria with a searing determination, yet contrite and full of remorse and resolve to save Carlo, regardless of her own predicament. Her Eboli (Freni, I believe) steals the show.

Fantastic voice, perfectly good conducted. Marvelous sung. Thank you for posting this wonderful masterpiece of arts.

Thank you, and goodnight. 👍❤️

Very sad, that she was recalled so early.

I saw Don Carlo at the Met in 1980. Troyanos was scheduled to sing Eboli but cancelled, so I never got to hear her live. I have a book on the history of Broadway musicals which has a colour photo of the wedding scene from the original Sound of Music production. Troyanos is visible as the tallest of the nuns. :)
