I believe that an "Extreme Adjectives Dictionary" could be written with what is said here in the comments (at least the positive adjectives)!
I wonder if she knew waht she meant for the art of the XXth century...

Magnifica !!!!

Fabulous. But of course nowadays everyone would be horrified at how the audience "ruined" Rossini's music at the end with their applause for La Divina.

@saagua1953 It was the Met's loss and our gain who saw her in magnificent performances at La Scala and elsewhere in Europe. Her Norma, Traviata, Bolena, Lucia, Medea and many others have never been equalled to this day and won't be equalled for a long time to come mainly because no other soprano has had the combination of a 3 octave voice range, superlative technique and musicianship to equal any other top musician around. Conductors were queueing up to conduct her performances which were epic

By the time she got to the Met her best days were almost over. She was miserably neglected in the US. She sang in Chicago before she was asked to the Met. I heard her do Madama Butterfly and I Puritani in Chicago, performances I have never forgotten.
