[urgrad03]

I don't know if I could die over and over and over in rehearsal and not go completely mad. Beautiful acting and singing.

[legatofancier]

Possibly the best singing actress that i have ever seen. I also love her voice in its prime.

The makings of a marvellous Diva... original, unique and electrifying... Thank you. Viva Teresa Stratas and her wornderful talent!

She's talking about her childhood in Toronto. The interviewer is Harry Rasky (pretty sure on that) -- legendary doc film maker also from Canada.

What a wonderful post.

What is Teresa talking about? I love her singing! She is 1 of 3 people who got me into opera! Found out? She is the best singer/actress in opera history.

That production was 1982, so I am guessing its '82.
