  • La più grande artista!!!

  • This is a wonderfully heartfelt and detailed characterization. But it's not Elisabetta di Valois, it's some Puccini heroine. Still, hats off to Renata for her ability to dig into a text. And I have to agree with those who say that this was a bigger mouthful than she could vocally chew -- to her ultimate detriment. But she's certainly not alone in that regard.

  • She does not sound so good here - voice is too small for this aria.

    A good singer but a lot of wobbles. This aria suits better Tebaldi-Callas.

  • There is only a year between Scotto (1934) and Freni (1935), but a what a difference in how their voices developed. Here Scotto is 48 and struggling to sing this very demanding scene so that she is just belting everything out and causing her voice to wobble uncontrollably. There is a recording of Freni here on YT in concert at age 50 (1985) singing this in what I believe is the finest I have ever heard this sung and interpreted and which puts this performance of Scotto's into a cocked hat!

  • Una interpretazione davvero SUBLIME!!!

  • @shivastotravali

    I was going to post almost your exact same comment, but since you already have I'll just agree with you =D

  • @corelli2 no kidding

  • @anismedin It`s ART- simply.

  • Gorgeous! Both vocally and theatrically a great performance, a perfect mix of outstanding technique with humbling tragedy and regal dignity. In the absence of pre-set ideas about what Elisabetta exactly should sound like, I have to disagree with most comments below and simply laude this very credible and beautiful interpretation.

  • I'm not sure whether some of the posters are posers, but if they don't know Verdi from Cilea or Puccini, I would suggest some further music education classes. Having the privilege and pleasure of hearing her often in the Met, this was great theater and again incomparable dramatization.

  • @shivastotravali It's Verdi

  • This isn't Verdi, perhaps Giordano, Cilea or Puccini
