This contest idea was suggested to me after the Favorita contest, and I was instantly impressed. This is not the typical bel canto contest that I usually put together, but I really love this aria. I have put together a collection of some really great artists, I hope everyone enjoys. Again a score of 1-5 for singing/characterization:
Giulietta Simionato - 1962
Eva Marton - 1988
Sonia Ganassi - 2007
Ildiko Komlósy - 2000
Fiorenza Cossotto - 1975
Grace Bumbry - 1984
Elena Obraztsova - 1978
Giovanna Casolla - 1992
Marie-Ange Todorovitch - 2003
Nadja Michael - 2004
Tatiana Troyanos - 1980
Biserka Cvejic - 1967
Violeta Urmana - 1997
Dolora Zajick - 2000
Agnes Baltsa - 1986

  • This is what great performance is all about. having the whole package.

  • I agree with the previous comments: so far, for my tastes, this is the most astonishing rendition of Eboli ...5/5!!!

  • @DalokiMauvais The loudest sound I ever heard in an opera house was the ovation for Troyanos after "O don fatale."

  • @AmericanEvita Eboli, like everybody else in the opera-- except Posa-- was a real person. Her name was actually Ana de Mendoza, Princess of Eboli and Duchess of Pastrana, and she did lose an eye in childhood.

  • I remember seeing this at the time. She brought the house down - the applause and cheers go on and on and on. I'd never seen it again until today - yet I've remembered this specific performance for 30 years. How wonderful to see it again - and find it to be just as magnificent as I remembered!

  • O wow...she had the eyepatch! In a lot of productions, they have her be a beautiful princess without the eyepatch, which I guess kinda makes her look more ugly or pirate like and weird. But it is clearly written by Verdi and the librettist that the character of Eboli has to have an eyepatch! Troyanos is magnificent. She is a straight mezzo soprano; no nonsense, no pretending to be a soprano with a great mezza di voce

  • yeeeeesss!!

  • 10/5 if you ask me

  • THE Greatest Eboli of all time.
