Rita Shane was an incredible dramatic Coloratura Soprano! She was also my Teacher, Mentor, and Friend! I encourage people to listen to all her now released recordings!

[@carynek]

She LOVED you and spoke to us of you often! -Another former student xx

[@artdanks]

Never could figure out why she never became more of a sensation than she was. She was phenomenal in all aspects!

[@vitroz]

This is vocal perfection!

[@suzanam45]

Love this singer! I wish she had more recordings!

[@MissyFo]

The amazing Rita Shane passed away last night. I studied with her for many years. So grateful to find this!

[@jcriedijk]

Rita Shane should be world famous. Her aria from Les Huguenots,see KZbin, is absolutely world class. A most underrated singer. Thanks for posting, particularly since there is so little about from her.

One of the great dramatic coloraturas out there.

[@operassassinOperaAssassin]

Thanks for sharing this rare document of Shane!

[@clefnoteproductions6695]

She definitely had a huge voice! I was in the chorus of a Lucia she sang in Tampa in 1979

With the great Richard Woitach at the piano.

This is the only vid I can find of her singing live. She's so underrated

[@sergiosanchezsanchez8712]

Suplió a la gran Beverly Sills en El Asedio de Corinto, de Rossini. Fue una gran soprano dramática de coloratura ¡Puro fuego!🔥💥

[@infrantasi]

Move over Maria and Joanie, gotta insert a fat chapter on Rita Shane in the Book of Kick-Ass Sopranos!

[@LazEstrada]

Amazing!!!

[@hsinmeichang]

Is this the only aria she sang at this performance? Would love to see more videos of her. Stunning and amazing as always!

Les moyens sont conséquents, la projection uniformément tendue et l'aigu superlatif... Toutefois l’absence de subtilité interprétative et de nuances vocales gâte un peu le plaisir.

Goddess!

Ummmmmm....this woman is a Goddess!
