A true lyric soprano with a little bit of coloratura facility and a littlebit of dramatic power. Nice try but she couldn't ornament the coda with enough variety to be interesting. However, she always had a lovely sound.
Ah Jeez..you gotta love her for bringing it home like that, with all the bumps and turns on the road before, she made it eventually, and with panache!

Given that I am in my 70's and have cataracts,my bad spelling is the least of my worries.
Why oh why must people get so personal on YouTube?

@MrSwifts31 yes, you admire her so much that you are unable to write properly her name and her roles... cOtrubas, viOLEtta, mimì
Compliments...

I admire and have always admired Ctrubas.She was the greatest Mimi & Vilotta I have ever seen.
Sadly though,one thing she was not is a coloratura soprano,and this clip is painful.
Why can't singers keep to their fach.In case you are woncdering I DID hear her sing this at Covent Garden and it just wasn't right for her voice.

@kgarmaker123 She does not, You are running out of appreciating her normal breathing.

I have always liked the sound of this woman's voice.. and I still do. This however sounds like she is running out of breathe in the whole piece.

uhmm..her voice sounds light lyric to me. Very sweet. Spintos usually have a much bigger sound
