I had the pleasure of seeing Miss Cossotto at the MET on 4 occasions. She never disappointed. Naturally, this was many years ago and voices do change.
I would not be surprised at all that Miss Zajick has rescued many a current Met AIDA with her majestic Amneris. The MET has gone down the tubes ! BIG TIME !
I absolutely appreciate the great artistry of Cossotto, however, I saw Zajick at the Met this season as Amneris, she still brings the house down, in fact she saved the night.

A legendary mezzo. Even past her prime she's captivating.

I wish she were still singing at the MET. Far superior to Zajick, Borodina, Graves, et al.

She is 59 years old here. In her case it means 37 years of professional career.
The voice quality is not what is used to be, but still very audiable.
Bravo!
Perhaps there is also a clip of her singing at age 70?

Not sure if there's a clip but she sang Amneris in Japan in 2006, Hmmm.
