I read in an interview with Grace Bumbry thinks she is really a soprano or at least a singer who has the ability to sing both.

[georgerannie]

Who the hell cares how she looks that woman can really sing!

[jtrudeau88]

@OperaMystery80 I think the only one who might have done it more times was Mignon Dunn! Both fantastically talented women

[OperaMystery80]

She must have sung the most Amnerises in one mezzo soprano''s career lifetime. This is from '95 16 years ago, but even here she had been singing Amneris with great success at the Met in the 80's 10 years earlier (and studied/sang the part before the 80's) she sang it in 2009, 2010 and 2011 she can still sing Amneris after so many years 30 plus years !

[BorisGodunov]

Is that Burchuladze as Ramfis?

@Shekhina01 I don't think she's scowling, I think that's just her face...

[janejones11]

She is one of the greatest Amneris's on record! Rock solid from chest voice up to her stunning high notes. Powerful and thrilling sound.

[SueAnnNivens]

I love Dolora, she is such a great actress!

[Shekhina01]

I love Dolora, but really does she have to scowl all the time? I mean, she's playing an unpleasant character, that is understood without all the scowling.

haha Zajick's trademark... grabbing the thumb with the other hand...
