RIP MERAVIGLIOSA RENATA SCOTTO😢😢😢

[@jameslevister153]

When I heard her Lady Macbeth then saw herin this production, her genius was confirmed to me. Previously, I usually encountered large scale voices such as Tebaldi, Bumbry, Callas, Ross and other similar artists in these roles. But, Scotto was so skilled at bringing her slender but flexible.resources to the service of text and character by route of extraordinary vocal and musical prowess, she was nothing less than a sorceress.

Rest in peace, dear Renata, you will always be remembered! ❤

[@ignacioceriani6877]

I had the pleasure of following, for more than 20 years, Scotto's career at the Met and, for me, she was the best of the best. She took risks that few sopranos at that time did, she gave herself 100% to her audience. She certainly will be always remembered!

Perfetta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@asterflamm]

Certo a sentire tutte berciare in quest'aria, questa interpretazione appare assolutanente implausibile eppure ad ascoltarla bene (aldilà del fatto che la Scotto ha una voce da soprano lirico) ha un senso e significato.

[@FranciscoFerrerGaliana1930]

Simlemente maravillosa, ... Gracias..!!

[@rodneydixon1259]

The difference between Renata Scotto and most other singers was that she actually interpreted the role she was portraying ,not just "singing" it .We have lost one of the last truly unique divas.

Последняя из Магикан😢😢😢😢Как жаль!!! Царствие ей небесное!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

@@ИринаГелахова-р8р Right, the last of the demento-divas.

[@renepierre2910]

Non solo cantante ma anche e soprattutto grande interprete. Anche se, va detto, il ruolo di Gioconda non è il massimo per le sue corde.

[@jimbuxton2187]

Very expressive..

[@leonardastabile7626]

Adoro la Scotto ma spesso usciva fuori dai "binari" 😢 riposi in Pace

[@OperaMyWorld]

“04:30” Audience reacts “Povero Ponchielli” and they were right! She was really out of her repertoire!

[@antonshkaruba6105]

Callas funs are infamously skilled in bullying, without being ashamed of being unfair. Some of them, apparently, see an opportunity even in a pro memoriam occasion

[@OperaMyWorld]

@@antonshkaruba6105 It’s not about being a Callas fan or not! It just being a fan of good singing! Renata was a nice lyric soprano and she should never go to verismo! That’s acclaimed even by her fan…so why to make a tribute to Scotto with this rec?

[@JURISMICH]

@@OperaMyWorld because if Opera is first voice, it is also theater. Callas était très exigeante avec elle-même, certes, mais cela ne l'obligeait pas à être si méprisante envers ses "rivales" puisqu'elle n'avait pas de rivales (et n'en aura certainement jamais)!

[@OperaMyWorld]

@@JURISMICHI didn’t say anything bad…of course opera is voice and theater but choosing the appropriate repertoire for your voice! Have a nice day!

[@ms.chaewon9231]

It's good.

[@operadoc]

Interpretation fantastic. This role was too big for her voice

RIP Maestra.

[@wookinooki9023]

what's with the mousy whispering???

[@Orfeus80]

Painful, and not in a moving way. Adina gone mad.

[@josemanuelvizcayalopez6103]

Este es otro ejemplo más de la Scotto queriendo cantar papeles que no eran aptos para su voz, en su obstinación de querer estar a la altura de otras divas... "Povero Ponchielli"

[@antonshkaruba6105]

your bigotry is not surprising, however very inappropriate for the occasion. The aria is impeccably executed, with no compromises, perfect vocal throughout and deeply touching emotions

[@nigihayami6]

​@@antonshkaruba6105 Check your ears, your judgement, and biases

[@antonshkaruba6105]
