Tatiana Troyanos causes Pandemonium with her Explosive One-Eyed Eboli

[@holobenthic]

Again, thank you thank you for giving such moments to people like me who aren't as knowledgeable as they would like to be in opera and opera singers, every now and then I get to discover marvelous artists and roles like her

[@LohengrinO]

no one is knowledgeable in Opera, as Callas had said once: who can dare say knows Opera? this channel has as aim to explore / shed light to the divine voices and composers

[@holobenthic]

@@LohengrinO it has become a little place to visit from time to time and be blessed by art, it's a small but most valued moment of peace for me

[@chocolatesouljah]

@@holobenthic agreed!

By what and how you write, it seems to me you've understood everything there is to understand here...

[@stevenclarke9363]

She was tremendous! This performance was televised and it brought my card party to a halt so that everyone could hear! And my friends are die-hard opera detractors. That's what power, grace, and genius can do.

[@ritahunterlafavorita]

Can we just take a minute to bask in the glory of this fine lady singing this? I envy anyone that was in the audience for this. How lucky you were!!!

[@genlyai5055]

Saw her several times, but sadly never as Eboli. The very last great Eboli.

[@lindagranitto7340]

She owns this aria 🎶🌹💜

[@krowapaulinka4351]

She was my first and to this day most beloved Eboli. Bless this woman. She was a force of nature.

[@jacquelineburkholder6958]

THIS is how the middle voice should be used!!! So free and full and passionate. so not wimpy

[@tempsperdu9278]

Another one of those great moments in opera, of which Verdi was the master!

[@alexandersporykhine]

Impeccable art of Tatiana Troyanos: movements and gestures do not prevent the sound from flowing. The straight back, open diaphragm give dignity to the role of princess Eboli, the serious face with expression of suffering not only help create the strong emotions, but produce the voice of masquera with the maximum sound intensity. The perfect union between the Dramatic art and Opera

[@marlenehartley7742]

Brava!!! Saw her live at the Met only once as the Composer and never forgot how great she was.

[@DanRobSo]

Magnificent. Tatyana will always hold a special place in my opera memories. Her Lyric debut as Charlotte was the first professional opera I ever saw. I never forgot.

[@debbiejohnson2789]

So glad for you, Dan that you got to see this!

[@jmiller05]

I love Troyanos's voice.. it's so 'earthy'. I also admire how she sang Eboli within herself, she didn't go crazy in trying to sound like a 'dramatic mezzo'. It can be done with the right technique, as shown here.

[@LohengrinO]

I like that she fuckin blasts the top and the chest... RELEASE THE RIVEEER!!! :D

[@jmiller05]

@@LohengrinO But it's never coarse... I feel so many mezzos try and belch out those low notes. Eboli is royalty so there needs to be an inherent control too.

[@vanmusician]

I saw this production at the Met in 1980. Troyanos was scheduled for Eboli but she cancelled, so I never got to hear her live. So cool that she was one of the nuns in the original Broadway Sound of Music.

[@carlfigueiredo2095]

A spectacular vocal artist! Troyanos was a dynamic force of nature; one of the absolute greatest! Taken from us too ear!y, sadly. Thank you so much!

[@Tenortalker]

The very great Tatiana still remembered with affection .

[@michaelmontagu3979]

Absolutely agree with you. And gone far too soon.

[@dutchbreckinridge2329]

Come on Tatiana! She slayed me serving us kids some spadoodle realness! Her technique was insanely perfect.

[@chocolatesouljah]

Lohengrin O! The profundity of this post is summed up by the physicality of what happens once she stops singing at 4:17 - She is transfixed and overcome by her own super powers.

[@LohengrinO]

[@garssympa500]

By far, the best aria of the opera... far more dramatic and exciting than 'tu che la vanità".

[@andrewschreiber112]

I had the good fortune to see her in live opera only once, as the Composer in Ariadne. Hers was a completely thrilling voice, unlike anything else I've ever heard live. Her early death was a great loss.

[@victoriagrapsidou3474]

Pure Genius La Troyanos!! Greek Goddess!

[@lifeisgood3087]

I saw this version of Don Carlo live from the Met (I believe in 1982) and I still get goosebumps. I can't simply get over this rendition. Simply beyond imagination. The other Eboli diva was certainly La Bumbry, and somewhat close, La Obratzsova.

[@mariaruskova6054]

Sublime Eboli! Years ago, when I saw the second performer singing with a black eye patch, I googled and learned more about Ana de Mendoza's amazing story. What I really like about her is the speculation that she may have lost her eye in a duel. Eboli is a very powerful character and I love this part very much. The other Ebolies I love are Verrett, Obraztsova, Baltsa and Bumbry. There is also a quite good movie about Ana de Mendoza with Julia Ormond.

[@scataplaft]

I've just listened to this with my partner and yep, I can confirm: she caused pandemonium here too. Brava!!! #shockwaves

[@wotan10950]

I saw Tatiana so many times onstage - brilliant artist who could sing everything from Mozart to Wagner with distinction. Don Carlo is arguably Verdi’s richest opera, and I saw some brilliant Ebolis in the theater, all great in different ways: Troyanos, Horne, Verrett, Bumbry, Zajick (Dolora might have been the best-sung of all).

[@panospeters8195]

Thank you! I agree with the other sentiments here that there are SO many great interpretations its truly a gift from Verdi. I also would personally saw my arm off to hear Maria Callas sing Eboli. Lol 😭

What a stunning, gifted voice and great technique she shows in this really wonderful recording you donated to the all of us. I heared it a couple of times again and again and still explore and discover more and more of the details of the real fine arts hidden in this jewel-gem of true belcanto. Thanks alot for this precious one and looking forward to your next wonderful presentation.

[@LohengrinO]

@@mbadiapamies4850 I was between the two for this post

[@agungpolo3849]

In the French (and original version) Waltraud Meier was at the same level ... But Bumbry was the most involved in her role , I think.

Agreed and also Dolora Zajick. I love listening to her sing this too

I understand that she was a different experience in house, but I can't get past her vibrato. By every other measure this is spectacular singing but I just can't enjoy it with that vibrato...

[@LohengrinO]

like Popp's I never really minded... or Pilar's

[@nathandavis3002]

Yeah, it's different for different people I suppose. I've always been very sensitive to vibrato. I also struggle with Schwarzkopf because of that (although to a lesser degree). I WISH I could get past it, because otherwise this is glorious singing. I really love the role of Eboli, I think she's far more interesting than Elisabetta.
