The only & one Violetta...

The E Flat is not in Verdi's score.
It was interpolated by Nellie Melba and has been used ever since by many Sopranos.
If the Soprano does not sing the E Flat(uneducated) audiences think she just cannot sing it.
It is their musical ignorance that is at fault not the Soprano.
BTW I have seen Cotrubas on several occasions sing Violetta(and Mimi) and she is the best I have ever heard.

Don't forget Verdi didn't write any spectacularly high notes. Not even in Di queslla lpira
-
She's simply wonderful!
-
@39Flood It dosn't matter at all whether she sings or not any E flat at the end, as in her recording. What matters is that she is wonderful and distressing.
-
Her voice is so pure.Wonderful.

Brava!! Just lovely!

To hear the great Ms Cotrubas sing the high E flat in an arm-numbing, hair-raising rendition of Sempre Libera, check out the fabulous recording from 1972 with Kleiber conducting...WOW!!!!

Many years ago, this woman, in this part, converted me to opera. What else is there to say? Thank you for posting!
