@xJirachi96x ¿sarcasm?

Anyone impressed by the ability to sing (as opposed to screech) high notes should check out recordings of Mado Robin. For her Bb above High C was nothing.

Mario was upstaging her holding the Bbs a little too long. Del Monaco once made the comment that he had received his Callas training - this is it.

Amazing high note (Eb) and very few sopranos can do it! It wasn't written by Verdi in this scene (the end of the Triumphal March Act 2 finale). It's out of character for Aida. She's defeated in this scene, hearing that the Pharaoh announces the marriage of Amneris & Radames whom she loves Aida's trapped at court as a slave. The high note is one of triumph, better suited to Amneris for this scene. Only a soprano in the role of Amneris or a mezzo with a high extension top could do it.

Simply Marvelous! Callas was/is MAGIC! No one before or since comes close! She stands alone in the glory of opera.
This always gives me chills. How I wish I could have attended some of Callas' historical performances. She was the greatest of them all.
