  • Do you happen to have the entire performance?

  • I wonder if this is from the Met. I saw her in this role there in the Fall of '88 or '89. I can't recall now, but I believe it was October. That was one of the great nights of the opera for me. I thought Battle was perfect as Cleopatra. Just perfect. I really enjoyed that performance. She sounded and looked ravishing and made the character charming, willful, and wily.

  • Totally out of this world.

  • Wish there is a CD or a DVD of her singing this. First time I heard her was on a record of Handel's Messiah and I am hooked since! What a lovely voice she has!

  • Wonderful.

  • Lovely but I think it it was 1988. She was not singing full staged opera in 1998, unless this comes from a concert.

  • You are correct, 1998 is a a typo, and the correct year is 1988. I've changed it in the youtube desc., but I'm not going to change the text in the video. Thank you for pointing that out.

  • I like what she does with this aria. The embellishments seem to all be in the right places and not overdone.

  • thanks again. you know it would be really great if you could post the final duet of cleopatra and caesar. i think it's with troyanos.

  • thank you. this is really great

  • Thank you so much for posting this extremely rare gem. I am in love with it! Thank you again...I am extremely greatful.
