  • This is an interesting compilation that confirms my suspricion that we've never had a soprano who filled Elisabetta's shoes well enough to be named the finest. Caballe offers some great singing but the finalle, especially in 1977 is problematic. In the finale Rowland is probably the best though her musical problems usually spoil her complete performances. This was a perfect role for Callas and she could have nailed it like Lady Macbeth but she was busy recording an indifferent Mimi..

  • hahahah... true enough, something tells me that the 2010-11 season is going to change that fact :) Don't you agree!

  • Although Sills pushes her light voice to its breaking point, I like her version better than all the others. Thanks for sharing these videos.

  • GRUBEROVA forever!

  • SILLS THE BEST !!

  • Sills owned this role. It was the total package--vocally dazzling, extraordinary acting, and total immersion in the role. I saw her perform it live four times--including once from the front row--and it was like seeing Elizabeth reincarnate. For me she will never be surpassed in this role.

  • Best Elizabeth: Kabaiwanska (best mourning too) Best make-up: Sills Best throne: Alberti Best mantle: Caballè (best acting too) Best trembling voice: Pendantchanska Best gloves: Weidinger & Gruberova (best wig too) Best baloon: Nicolesco Best sober dress: Rowland Best final scream: Cassello Best attempt: Ricciarelli Special thanks to coloraturafan
  • 1. Gruby - Her 2005 Elizabetha is the best ever.

    2. Caballe

    3. Cabaivanska

  • Humildemente, luego de ver las actuaciones de estas grandes cantantes en esta parte puntual de este exigente rol, esta es mi valoración personal: (1) Gruberova, Sills y Rowland. (2) Caballé, Pendatchanska y Ricciarelli. (3) Kabaisvanka. (4) Weidinger, Nicolesco, Alberti y Cassello. Espero nadie se sienta ofendido. Gracias.

  • 1 Sills

    2 Caballe

    3 Gruberova

  • Yeah, the thing about it is...it's just a plain cruel role that fits exactly NO total voice, really......I saw Sills do it at Cincinnati Opera way-back-when........and the thing that made it was her utterly amazing acting.

  • @rachelforever For me is the same she was the best.

  • @DonAlfonso63 First Sills, than Caballe, Kabaiwnaka, and Gruberova

  • The best ist Beverly Sills forerver....
