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

I always loved Troyanos's timbre. A very sexy sound.
