There will never be another like her whose voice blazed a golden path throughout the musical sphere…. Thank you Leontyne Price

No comment is needed. But I often say to myself that now there are many, many famous sopranos who would be happy if they, once in their life, could sing as Leontyne Price did during her farewell Aida at the age of 57.....

This lady was incredible! Another great American! Thank you, Ms. Price for delighting and amazing opera goers! God bless you, dear lady!

She is one of the greatest artists of the XX. century. I am very proud of her although I am not American. She is directly responsible for my love of opera. She is not a soprano, she is a weapon. I have no defense against her. I can only close my eyes and fly with her to the musical dreams. I'll tell you a secret. The chart of lyrical sopranos is not led by Callas, but by someone completely else. Who is that lady? Try to guess, maybe you can get it.

Both well past their primes, but still wonderful.

Who is the woman who joins in at the end? Her voice is beautiful as well.

McCracken was in poor voice when the opera began, but became much better as the performance progressed and his voice warmed accordingly. Price has some trouble here and there. But her voice retains much of its richness --
