Both stunning. Impossible not to notice Shirley's brightness in higher notes as well as the depth in lower register. What a rich Voice!.

It’s almost impossible to believe this same voice is a superb Dalila and Orfeo. But she was!

@@giulianocastro8417 Shirley did not perform Amneris many times, but when she did, she truly was wonderful. As far as American singers of her time period in the Verdi mezzo rep, Bumbry was the finer Amneris with much more experience in the part. Both were sensational as Eboli and unfortunately we do not have a full Shirley Verrett Eboli on video that I’m aware of.

She has such beauty in her upper register here, even when singing more pianissimo. Just gorgeous.

I don't think quite her role but no one can take away her upper register. It was a beast.

Pavarotti sounds so luscious with Verrett. Perfect companion. Rich, bright, creamy, both of them.

Pavarotti had the most natural tenor voice I've ever heard but once that tessitura gets heavy, it's a different story.

Σίγουρα μία πολύ σπάνια φωνή (φάλκον;) και ο Παβαρότι σε μεγάλη φόρμα. Ευχαριστώ, φίλε Τεό.

She's brillant and I'm not even sure if she's act very well or if she just amazed by the sound of Pavarotti next to her ! Or both ! :D Maybe it's just too easy to look in love with this man in theses conditions xD

Verrett was a very fascinating singer, thick American accent notwithstanding. As to Pavarotti, Del Monaco once quipped that his Cavaradossi was more of a whitewasher than an actual painter lol.

I think the best of Verrett was in the complete Don Carlos from Vienna in 1970.A wonderful cast but Shirley out sung them all.

Lol! I see more Lady M in her voice and especially her acting than ever a Tosca… she seems more Tosca’s mother than a fanciulla.. not by her age but also by her acting itself, it’s very mature.. also the notes are there but i don’t feel anguish despair and so on in her voice. She sounds more like Medea than Tosca.. but then again Callas sounded so well and distinguished and different in each role, maybe i just find it too difficult to listen to other and can’t help but compare them to her..

.... Warret è magnifica e rappresentativa nella parte di Tosca... ma Luciano Pavarotti prestanza fisica e recitativo non sono il suo forte... La voce è bella ma molto leggera.... non lo vedo nella parte di Cavaradossi il grande amatore di Tosca!! Grazie caro Lohengrin0 una buona serata!!
