All 3 are great. But my order of preference here (for these specific clips only): #1 - Sills #2 - Caballe #3 - Sutherland

My parents went to a stage performance one time in which my dad got a big surprise. He recognized Ms. Beverly Sills sitting next to him. Front row. They talked briefly. She had some students of hers in the stage show. My dad was thrilled. And polite. 😅

Beautiful voice and great personality!

You left out the best part: her trill at the end.

Here we have the 'Diamond Encrusted Platinum Age of Singing' (which sadly has descended to the 'Cracked and Chipped Pottery Age'). Beverly Sills certainly gets my vote as she set one of the highest benchmarks for this aria with unequalled breath control.

All three ladies demonstrate their amazing beath control taking that G for 8 measures. For the Sills sample, it's from her 1971 studio recording. Aldo Ceccato, the conductor, took the tempo very slow! Sills still pulls it off with ease, and for good measure, she then takes a High B flat and holds in nearly as long! It also wasn't something Sills did for the studio recording. She pulled that off in all her live performances. We'll never have the luxury of having three great singers in the same decades ever again.

Sills was the greatest singing actress I have ever seen. Caballe had the most beautiful voice, and Sutherland was the rock of Gibraltar--her voice always dependable if her acting and diction left much to be desired. No singers on the opera stage today can compare to these giants.

La mejor en todos los tiempos

Q linda el mejor da tempesta

Your love for our Beverly shines through so beautifully, Eli! A perfect selection of Sills vocal JEWELS. Brava Beverly and Bravo Babbino Caro!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰!

La mejor......

The set looks very dangerous.

❤ I worked with her during San Antonio Symphony's opera season. She was FABULOUS! And, just one of us musicians backstage.

Wow she could move her voice faster than any other singer I've ever heard. Whether its Rossini, Mozart or Handel.

The Queen of the Night picture also appears during Marten aller arten.

Go HEAD!!!!

❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊

It is spectacular!

It was just an automatic reflex lmao ❤

When my late husband Neil and I joined forces in 1971 he was head over heels in love with our Beverly. (I became an ardent fan about 4 months later) This particular aria never failed to have him in raptures about Beverly's ability to stun any listener with her accuracy, speed and spellbindingly clean magical coloratura. Thank you Eli, I have always thought this was one of Beverly's masterpieces and always will. Brava our beloved Beverly and thank you Eli!

oh WOW...Thank you for sharing! ^_^ Two GREAT sopranos.

I didn't understand a single word except for Callas, Sutherland and Beverly Sills (I LOVE the way you say her name by the way Eli) I DID understand all the incomparable Sills singing however. Thank you Eli for this outstanding upload, my day is made!

È Beverly Sills che canta l'aria di Zerbinetta "Grossmächtige Prinzessin" dall'Ariadne Auf Naxos di Richard Strauss. Un'aria acrobatica e tutt'altro che facile. Ricordiamo, per quest'aria, anche le bravissime Mady Mesplé e Natalie Dessay, superbe Zerbinetta, a cui la grandissima Beverly Sills non ha niente da invidiare.

Straordinaria... tecnica perfetta, messa di voce ineccepibile, stilo e una coloritura de altissima scuola. La migliore Cleopatra di Haendel che io mai ho udito. Bravissima

By sheer coincidence, I saw Sills on a tv show in the early-70s. I bought tix to see The Three Queens, quite a start for a complete newbie to opera. I adore her still, although I acknowledge that her forays into heavy dramatic roles shortened her career - a lot. FWIW, tapes and videos don’t do her any justice; like many singers, her voice needed the space of a big auditorium to expand and unfurl. She sounded much bigger and warmer in the theater.

She called me her friend. I was blessed!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

LOVE it Eli! Our Beverly at her scintillating BEST! BRAVA!

🎉

Two great artists!

A beautiful voice with perfect diction and a great actress.

Ouch loudest one. Can she get louder

Her glory years

mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Beverly and her silly coloratura

A great artist: beautiful voice and touching performances!

A beautiful voice!!!! Rudolf Bing who ruled the Metropolitan Opera refused, with his acerbic behavior, to hire her. She was a great woman, too!

La Sills had a beautiful voice and great presence!

Sills and Sutherland are my favorites but they all are the greatest ❤❤❤❤

Livello pressoche irraggiungibile

I heard Sills sing "Lucia." I heard Kraus sing "Lucia." But I never heard them together. Thrilling. In addition to her voice, Sills was the greatest actress who ever graced an opera stage in my lifetime. Her physicality was amazing. The seduction scene from "Manon," the mad scene from "Lucia," Marguerite at the end of "Faust"--her acting choices always illuminated the text.

Two great singers! What a joy to listen to them!

All the best examples of their craft. ❤

No one makes me love this opera more than Sills. She was born to be THE QUEEN ❤❤❤

Sills is my favorite Regina ❤❤❤

Callas forever!

What a great post! No favorite....all 4 are GREAT! ^_^. The caricatures of them are brilliant :D

❤❤❤❤

This aria is touching!
