Yes she did. I saw her in four operas before the operation and she was one of the most stunning voices and performers I have experienced in over 50 years of opera going. Even after the operation, I saw her first new role [Strauss" Salome] and she was still marvelous though the voice had a little less gold and a little more steel. I believe that if she had taken just a few more months post-operation to rework her technique she would not have deteriorated as she did.
@@wilsonwatt9283 When did you catch her Salome? I saw her do it in Washington DC in 2012, and unfortunately the voice had zero cushion left. I would have loved to have heard what she sounded like live earlier on though.
Stupid commentator doing the intro. There is nothing "meltingly beautiful" about this confrontational duet. Furious and emotionally inflammatory perhaps but hardly "melting".
"Meltingly beautiful " ... NOT how I'd describe this duet, lol.
Brava Deborah Voigt... mi piace molto. ottima Gioconda
Thats the Debbie I wanna remember
Yes well you know she was asked a few hours before this concert to learn this and do it that night, right?
Wow Deborah voight used to have an amazing voice.

con queste due non potrebbe essere qualcosa diversa della perfezione

Agreed. He also mispronounced "anatema."
Two wonderful singers and artists but not their best moment here. This duet didn't suit either one of them, not true verismo here.
Laughable...
