Shirley Verrett died last week. I especially appreciate this viedo because I saw her in this role at Kennedy Center (Washington DC) in 1976. La Scala Opera performed there as part of the Bicentennial celebration.

If this were all she bequeathed to posterity it would be a legacy that any singer could be proud of.....but we know,of course,that this is just the tip of the iceberg! Whilst the Lady is my own personal favourite role for Ms Verrett she has , happily, left us a rich catalogue of recorded delight, or even genius to enjoy.

What is so wonderful about Miss Verrett is that she SINGS the role...full out...completely dramatic...and yet always in control and with bel canto, unlike so many who only punch at this role, hoping that merely their volume and frantic acting will disguise their lack of vocal technique. Those of us who know the difference can't be fooled.
Verrett had it all. What a great singing actress...the performance here is a document of a great artist.
