  • fuuuuuck. just watching this again brings me to tears....sooooo lovely!!

  • oh. she and callas owned this role better than any two other singers ever will. Love doesn't even begin to describe my sentiment towards this piece.

  • There will never be another Amneris for me! Simionato owns this role and colours her voice fantastically. Her penultimate 'Anatema su voi!' is amazing; almost snarled. This is a fantastic example of an artist using every part of her body to 'act' a role. Truly amazing. Although she sang this role for a large part of her career, I think that the performances from the mid 50s onwards are the best. La scala '56 and '60 being personal favourites.

  • HELLO! Take that Amneris wannabes!

  • The Great Simionato, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, cossotto was a very good singer but Simionato was an IMMENSE artist in terms of versatility, repertory, longevity, musicianship, technique, stage acting, and overall vocal artistry. Consider her Neris, Adalgisa, Jane Seymour, Carmen, Rosina and Cenerentola when younger, Ulrica, Favorite, Arsace, Eboli!! She and Marilyn Horne were the two greatest mezzo-sopranos of the 20th century. Will anyone care to argue this, please?

  • @rjw0886 something mezzos could learn today.....

    if you save the chest voice, you have it in spades for the important moments....

    see also her duet in cavelleria rusticana, the "BADA! aaaaa TE, la BUONA PASQUA! is equally gut gripping

  • one of the most powerfull voices ever!!!!!!!!

  • meravigliosa, grazie per questo gioiello...

  • rest in peace divina.
