@petervanstrien Kathleen Battle was perfectly capable of singing unamplified in the largest opera theater in the world - the Metropolitan opera. Hers is a light lyric soprano voice so the roles she sang didn't have heavy orchestration. Domingo was a spinto/dramatic tenor so his voice is big, he even sang some Wagner. Singing over the orchestra isn't about volume. Resonance, vibrato, high "formant frequency" has a lot to do with it. There are different types of operatic voices.

He truly is wonderful, but Kathleen is a JEWEL.

In person (having worked with her) she lives up to her reputation as a bitch. And as a singer.......a chirpy albeit accurate voice, though she sounds the same whether she sings Handel, Verdi or Mozart. She got canned at The Met a few years ago, and rightly so.

@truvianni Russian and Polish are two pretty different languages. I know pretty well Ukrainian and Russian is my mother language, but I can understand Polish with the greatest difficulties and only when the speed of talking is very low. I would, of course, look for your article. Thank you for the information.

@Nushika9 As a matter of fact I also saw the Bolsoi ballet in Santiago (Chile) while I was working as a photographer and even got to meet some of them. I particularly remember Nina Semizorowa. I went on to write an article about it if you wish to read it please google my name "Gianni Truvianni" and "Bolshoi ballet". Ja toxe panimuju pa Rusky because I speak Polish which is similar.

@truvianni Yes, it was easier for tourists than for Soviet citizens to enjoy Soviet culture during Soviet times, especially late Soviet times. I made some useful connections with one ticket sales person in Bolshoi Theater, starting in the beginning of 80-s, and could, therefore, watch some of most famous ballets. Of course, prices were twice regular price. I was still willing to pay. Earlier I didn't know even how to pay. Seats weren't he best, of course. USSR needed foreign money.

@Nushika9 I am an American and I remember seeing the Bolshoi ballet in 88 in Moscow at the Bolshoi theatre and I do recall the seats to have been very good though I was travelling with a group of tourists.
