Price is one the best Aidas and Mr. Estes is one the best fathers I have seen singing the Opera Aida. Both are original, unique and magnifique.

Price became very deep and dark near the end of her career.
-
great delivery on the line 'non sei mia figlia!'

What an unbeatable combination!!! Wished they could have done other things earlier in their careers. I'm pleased she asked specifically for him.

Mr. Estes, who had a great voice, rose to the occasion in this scene vocally and dramatically. His Italian tended to be unidiomatic, and his acting a bit wooden. He is magnificent here, perhaps inspired by the unsurpassable Aida of Price. She is totally immersed in the personaggio, and her "O patria, quanto mi costi!" is equaled only by Callas in poignancy and supreme understanding of what she is about to do. As of this date, there is only one Aida. Leontyne Price. Bravissima!

5:51 I can bet this has never been sung with such power and conviction in the Metropolitans history or ever will be again. Ms. Price is a Titan. Kind regards,
