Tosca (Patricia Racette) sings of art and love in her famous aria "Vissi d'arte." Patricia Racette makes her role debut in HGO's performances of Tosca.
A wobble, the end result of pushing the voice, is evident. This is a Lyric Soprano that has
been forced into a Dramatic repertoire erroneously. A covered tone is not representative of the great singers of the Golden Era. Listen to MARJORIE LAWRENCE, MARGHERITA GRANDI
My chorus teacher was telling us about how her and patricia were friends in high school and she told us to look her up . I never thought she would be this good<3
why is she shouting at the beginning - it's piano! Everyone these days just sings at one level......save it. If it's well produced, the softest pianissimo carries.
Wonderful video. Thank you. I have heard her last night live from radio broadcast Radio Bayern 4 Klassik: MET, 24th of April 2010 - together with Jonas Kaufmann and Bryan Terfel. It was splendid.

@MuscleDaddyCMH I agree. That's why Kiri TeKenawa is still the best for this aria. She starts out pianissimo and then builds.
