Excellent! Very underrated now in my opinion. Not only the diction but a very sparkly voice and stage persona and she still has discernible, beautiful tone in the extreme upper register even on the F's

Wow - She must have had a wider rep than I thought. Very fine diction too; fantastic!

spellbinding!

ciao others

...and then Luciana Serra, other great Queen

[RobertoTifi]

In my opinion she is the BEST Koenigin. I've heard several others, and they're great (you HAVE to be if you play the Queen of the Night!!) but Roberta Peters is PERFECT!

Actually it took her grandfather  Leon Hirsch more than one time to convince Jan to have Roberta's mom bring her to Jan but finally Jan agreed to hear the 12 year old Girl. Odd but Althouse who met her said she had a thick neck and he liked that in a singer! Still he did not teach 12 year old kids but he was impressed by her.

continued from below. Jan Peerce who her Grandfather-- on her Moms side Mr. Hirsch . took her to Jan as Leon Hirsch was a waiter in the catskills where Jan frequented and Jan took her to Paul Althouse, she was 12 but Paul said he not would not take a child to teach, he was above that really and had famous students. He and Peerce advised her to continue working. Later she got Mr. Herman and so on!

In her a rare book title she wrote with Louis Biancolli "debut at the met" she shows on page 21 how she started with her teacher's advice to study the book "Garcia's Method" she said she learned swelling the note slowly to crescendo and then returning to decrescendo. then the other way started full and decrescendo, finally no cresendo and all on one note. Her parents where not wealthy but did all they could to help her father Sol Peterman was a salesman. Peerce took her to Althouse-

Another amazing quality she had was the ability as a coloratura with a light voice to project with any tenor. Listen to her live Luica with Corelli , his only Edgardo she never is drowned out by him or Tucker, both BIG voices and I heard her in big houses sing and project with ease. Diminuendo to a whisper on the breath and swell out to forte easily, trill as Gilda in Rigoletto live at the met in the 50's with Tucker,again in 1964' with him or the RCA recording with Bjorling/ Merrill in 1956

Peters was born Roberta Peterman in 1930 and luckily I heard her in Recital 3 times and in concert also and in fact one Recital was so amazing because she sang perhaps more arias and songs then anyone I ever heard, maybe 35 numbers, I didn't count but that was in 1988, she was 58 but the voice sounded younger, she was beautiful. In 1993 she opened the Grant Park Chicago season and sang many arias and operetta, even Norma Casta Diva! 1968 She sang a concert with Peerce her mentor- It was great
