  • I think I remember watching this on New Year's Eve 1979 in Bulgaria. Is that about right? Little did I know then that I would meet her 15 years later, in America! Personally, I like her in the role. And after becoming accustomed to hearing her in the ball-buster roles, it is so nice to hear her sing with such lovely, lyric, caressing tone and shape the phrases so elegantly. She really should get more credit for being an real artist, rather than just a force of nature.

  • @Klytemnest : It is from the documentary, filmed in the 80's (maybe in 1984).

  • She can always surprise! Brava Ghena! Great interpretation as always!

  • I wish I had heard Ghena as 'Norma". I heard Joan - vocally beautiful but a bit tame and "Scotto" who screamed her way through the role.

    Ghena's voice is warm, large and the singing so expressive. BRAVA !!!!!

  • lately i have found myself listening to more of Dimitrova's work. such a beautiful tone and size to the voice. it's great to hear her Casta Diva, however i feel as though the audio doesn't do justice to her voice. i can certainly hear distortions when her voice gets either louder or higher. can't wait to hunt for studio recordings of this aira :) thank you for uploading.

  • @foratti I am not agreed,she has a very beautiful voice but you can not feel the beauty in her voice.maybe you need time to can feel it.

  • @1994majd :Ghena Dimitrova had an ugly voice, hers was a tin sound

  • NADIE COMO CALLAS.....Y MONSERRAT.........PERO SUTHERLAND.......JAJAJAJAJAJAJ­A....SUTHERLAND ...ES LAPERFECCION DE ESTE ARIA.........

  • Amazing...thanks for posting it

  • Spiego meglio il mio pensiero: sicuramente Ghena Dimitrova ha una voce fantastica e sublime, è una bravissima cantante, ma, ascoltando quest'aria, non posso fare a meno di ricordare la grande Callas.

  • Callas!!!

  • SUBLIME!!!!

  • Not a role with which I would have associated Dimitrova, yet this is truly magnificent! Opulent and technically rock solid as well as stylish. I wish I'd heard her more often
