La Zeani était avec nous, (les choeurs), dans les coulisses du grand théâtre de Genève pour écouter son mari, Nicolas Lemini dans Macbeth de Bloch, première en Français. Quelle femme, aussi belle que gentille et la voix, qu'elle merveille!

Oui, belle et gentille, vraiment une merveille! Merci.

Absolut fantastica

[@CharlotteinWeimar]

Here is a live version when she sang at short notice, in a concert for Luciano Pavarotti who was in a fix because Caballe had suddenly cancelled.. Zeani flew in from Indiana, where she had just arrived to take up a teaching appointment, and had to sing without any rehearsal with the accompanist, kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKSyeYmiqNmGrc0

Thanks for sharing this amazing story

[@unotenore]

To me her middle register is perfectly correct, and should you wish for less vibrato therein, the freedom of the vocal line would be eliminated causing all kinds of havoc in the top register.

[@corellithebest]

Exactly! :)
