I know someone who has this person as a teacher ;x He is proud

This is my teacher, and she is the BEST thing that has ever happened to my voice. There are very few people who have ears as keen as hers and an insight as powerful as hers when it comes to figuring out the true nature of your voice, what you're doing wrong, and how to find your individual sound.

@semiramide1945 Because Joan didn't have chest notes....

This was not in 1999, but in 1991.
It was in Mexico City, at Bellas Artes.

It was actually dangerous for her, as she stated "Singing Roberto Devereux shortened my career six years". However Sills was a very intelligent woman (Which I praise, cause I love her) and managed to bring the role to her field, like she did with Anna Bolena (I think that Stuarda was more confotable for her). She's my favourite Elisabetta alongside Dimitra Theodossiou (two really different Elizabeths)

Grazie tetasdevirgin. I think it was also too taxing for Sills and I beleive her assumption of the role hastened the decline in her voice. Of course having and surviving uterine cancer took a toll as well, but when she retired she must have already had a 30 year career. So much of it demands dropping into chest voice. This is probably a reason Devia has avoided it, but many have taken it on with glorious results. Luiga Boccabadati who created the role must have been fabulous- Ciao- Ernesto

She tried to, but thought it was too taxing and risky for the voice

I had the privilege of working with Martile Rowland in a workshop while I was in high school! She was excellent! I am looking into attending her summer workshop in Colorado next summer!
-
Yes, Martile Rowland is awesome- period!
-
She looks a bit like Madame Vera Galupe but love the high notes- I wonder, if anyone knows, why Dame Joan never sang this role.
This is my teacher, I am proud.

I would be proud also! She is a very talented artist and a very exciting performer. Not many sopranos can make Donizetti's queens come alive, she can be counted with the few who did.
