Birgit Nilsson 1918 - 2005. One of The Worlds two best opera singer ever. Jussi Bjorling is the other one. Both from Sweden - remarkable...

La Nilsson celebrates Maestro James Levines 25 years at Met 1996 with Brünhildes "Hojotoho!". At 78 she still got it!

  • NO WAY!! That can't be a voice from a 78 year old!  Gee...She was incredible.

  • Not bad, but that creep applauding in the end ruins the experience.

  • Jussi Bjorling being ONE of the best opera singers ever ?? Lets try THE best opera singer whoever lived. His voice comes only once in a century !!!

  • My god!!! Birgit Nilsson! The best opera singer in the world! You made opera into something better, more dramatic, more perfect with your incredible technique and you are such an inspiration for young singers like myself! You are truly missed, but you will live forever because of your beautiful voice and personality! Thank you, Birgit....

    The "creep applauding" is James Levine - the whole event was in honour of his 25 years conducting at the Met

  • I agree with the comment from JUSTINMILL3R below: she steps away from the mic to sing. She was tremendous and a true star. I'm not sure about the references to James Levine, but no matter. I watch this clip for her, and It is just inspiring almost to the point of tears to watch.

  • @BGSourgas

    Brilliant! Your comment made me laugh out loud, and it "rang" so true.

  • totally..no way. What a singer...she never forgot how.

  • When one sings correctly for a lifetime, 78 is no age..look at her physical stature when she sings drawing on all the inter costal muscles..straight up and down.. and let er' go... also she had perfect pitch, so she just plucked that note right out of the air...I loved her and knew her in NYC at the met...Earle

  • Levine the f'*ing ped...

  • Levine the f'*ing ped...

  • @TsarBovov that guy is a conductor!
