@astrasburgo Moi aussi j'y etais ( a 2 reprises dont la derniere ) et il y a bien eu une tres grande ovation, les gens debout etc et des bouquets cela ne finissait pas.Par contre la television, les infos en general sont restes bien discrets lors de son deces ; tres bel article dans Liberation.Elle disait bien que nul n'est prophete en son pays.D'accord sur le beau legato qu'elle avait conserve ainsi que son beau timbre , jusqu'au bout.
@just1967me i believe it was his us debut , he defected from russia to italy in 1982 so it sounds correct, after being in the bolshoi theatre he became a member of the met, this was from pique dame if im correct
@Applepros HI! I heard Mr. Popov live, in Atlanta, onstage at Symphony Hall, in a Met Opera preview of their annual spring tour. I think he sang an aria from Ernani - this would have been in about 1983. This performance, if I'm remembering correctly, was an important debut for him...maybe his Met debut, or maybe his U.S. debut?? I can't remember exactly...but my memory on all things opera is generally not bad! You might ask him, if you have a chance, if he remembers this.
@just1967me yes this tenor is vladimir popov , he is my grandfather, he starred in aida,carmen, and turandot as well delivering a great nessun dorma performance
Emouvante prise de congé artisitique d'une considérable artiste dans un rôle hélas! approprié à son état vocal d'alors...Saluons! et souvenons-nous de ses années royales!
The tenor's singing is good... yes... but I think it would have sounded much worse if it weren't Regine Crespin, with her amazing dramatic capabilities, listening! Bravo!
Mon Dieu, quelle artiste a perdu le monde de la lyrique, RÉgion est des plus grandes, mais le public souvent ne comprend rien et seulement applaudit les artistes notoires pour, ce je ne sais pourquoi.
I believe the tenor is Vladimir Popov. This was from the mid-eighties. It was my first exposure to this opera. WONDERFUL performance and production. If I remember correctly, GianCarlo Menotti directed, also Stefka Evstatieva was in it. I have looked for this for years. PLEASE post more of this performance! (Is there a DVD or video of this available anywhere?)

Love her. But really, the scene doesn't work if the Countess dies so obviously. He has to be surprised that something is wrong with her.
