You're quite right. This is perfect performance. And she sings it as a prayer, which it is - something private between her and God. "I've never done anything wrong, I've been charitable, I've followed the faith, why do you reward me thus?"

I remember seeing her in the audience of Franco Zefferelli's Turandot at the Met. She received a standing ovation from the audience during intermissiom, as she entered the house, and she outshined Elizabeth Taylor who was sitting a few rows ahead of her with Zefferelli. Eva Marton who was singing Turandot had roses thrown to her at the curtain call. She picked them up and threw them at Brigit Nilsson saying "You deserve all the roses". Marton was a class act!

Where other singers summon every ounce of strength and reserve in order to belt out the high note at the end as if it were some sort of clarion call, Nilsson effortlessly delivers a sublime climax, made all the more poignant and effective by her restraint.

wrong button, Anyway, in Gothenburg, she drowned the orchestra and filled the entire stadium, it was simply overwhelming, she said in an interview that it took her 10 years to find the voice, and an other 10 years to tame it, to a point where she felt totally satisfied, she waited until her late 30ties, in 1959 before she made her Metropolitan debut, and the rest is history, she sang a number of parts before that, around the Opera houses in Europe, it is a mystery how she could produce such power and precision, she discovered her own technic, and kept it as a secret. I don't think there will be a soprano voice like that again, my favorite is the Turandot recording from 1959 with Jussie Bjoerling , made in Rome , two of the best voices coming together.

On paper, Birgit Nilsson, known for Wagnerian and Strauss roles doesn't look great for singing Tosca, but when you take the time to listen, the voice is there for Tosca. I don't know if she has the acting skills for the role, but the legitimate dramatic soprano voice of hers is probably something that will never be matched in history

Montse é sublime mas como todas las sopranos líricas de la segunda mitad del siglo XX caio' en el herror imoerdonsble de abrazar la técnica desnaturada de ló spinto por razones de marketing. Em Tosca se nota perfectamente la pierda de estabilidad y dinamicas que una nilsonn y una cerquetti, por tener voces ya en si dramáticas, nunca perdieron
