@caltrask51 She did. The opera showed off her arsenal of technique which she acquired over many years of hard work.

@maestrojimbo O yes indeed! If you want to know who has TRULY made it at La Scala, then you need to know who has received that standing ovation from the orchestra. In the last century there was Bjorling, Callas, Caballe, Sills, Freni and Domingo. As far as I can find out Pavarotti never got the salute from La Scala. Then there was also Tetrazzini and Gallicurci and Caruso. Interesting to see that besides Freni, none of the big name Italian singers made it with the La Scala orchestra.

Her commercial recording was made several years after this performance and this far exceeds that memorable recording. Oh to have been in that audience on the debut opening night! When one reads from the archives that the La Scala orchestra gave her a standing ovation at the first orchestra rehearsal and that she was ONE of less than 10 to have received that accolade from the orchestra over a hundred years or more, one then begins to understand the true greatness of this truly humble lady! Brava!

@MrAndredekock I didn't know that! The La Scala Orchestra and and insrumentalists all over the world were ALWAYS impressed with her agility and supreme breath control, phrasing and disciplined coloratura. Thanks for that inside story.

Thomas Schippers conduced that night, maestrojimbo, not Carlo Franci;-)

@andreernestgretry I did correct that - go back and look at the opening credits. My copy is mis-labeled.

Surely there is not another voice that moves as fast as this one?? Phenomenal!

@lornabegbie Yes, she certainly has no serious competition with that skill, even today. Be sure to listen to her Zerbinetta, if you haven't already. Fast, and such intervals! Thanks for listening. P.S. I see you love animals - look for the parrots singing Mozart Queen of the Night and Chopin on my channel - really cute. Also my Jack Russell Mr. Darcy is on the Michigan Fight Song vid - hilarious.
