Vilka härliga damer!

Look at Birgits face after the Zarah song. She later told us in a radioshow that she had a lump in her throat, the song captured the audience and the whole atmosphere was electric.

[@mattedolk3713]

Helt underbart! Och Zarahs blick och "-är du säker på det där?" till Birgit. Fantastiskt bra!

[@operaforever8545]

Real dramatic soprano and real contralto together! Wow!!! Love both of them

[@lindacarlen6250]

Tusen tack för detta ikoniska program🥰

[@SteveL2012]

Utterly delightful to hear Nilsson sing this in the context of her great voice and years of singing Wagner and other dramatic operatic roles. She is so charming and unvarnished for one of the greatest opera singers ever to have lived. Zarah knows how to deliver a song like few others, she moved and captivated me even though I had no idea what she was singing!

[@opernfreundin4485]

Wieso sollte Zarah keine Ahnung gehabt haben, was sie sang?😮

[@Bravilor]

@@opernfreundin4485 He wrote that he himself didn't know what she was singing :)

[@laduqesa]

Stjärna mot stjärna is a famous old Swedish programme. Legend has it that when Birgit was invited, she insisted that she had Zarah on the show.

Två giganter med stark unik strålglans. Saknar dom!

[@Operafreak9]

Both simply fabulous.

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

Zarah is not fabulous. Her technique is awful.

I said that “I, me, myself” had no idea what the words were. It must be a translation issue. Cheers! 😊
