Maria Chiara è stata grande fra le più grandi della seconda metà del XX secolo!! Perfetta nei suoi ruoli, senza mai alcuna sbavatura verista in Verdi. Modesta, benché di presenza e figura eccezionali, con accento di interprete sempre preciso e pronuncia perfetta. Troppo poco conosciuta e apprezzata!

[@fredojoaquim4764]

I believe it was Chiara's debut at La Scala. Marvelous soprano 🌷😍☀️🤩 🌹.

[@SilfredoSerrano]

Not even close. She had sung as far back as 1972 as Micaela

[@romearomeo]

Grandissimi interpreti!

[@Sarita41248]

Esta versión es histórica. Perfecta interpretación. Ambos cantantes se mimetizaron con el personaje, y tenían la voz para eso.

[@fredojoaquim4764]

A very dramatic duet.

[@Sebastian740]

The most intense scene in ALL of opera.

[@AlenaD92]

The best scene of whole opera...

[@fredojoaquim4764]

The duet between Aida,💖🌹 an Ethiopian princess (enslaved in Egypt) and her father, Amonasro, king of Ethiopia. The lovely and beautiful soprano Maria Chiara 🌹 as Aida. Juan Pons☀️, a great powerful baritone as her father. Grandious opera set in ancient Egypt.
Wonderful, meravigloso.

Blackfacing in perfection :-) Great Singers . Legends!

5:54 absolutamente fantástico.

[@deadwalke9588]

Baritone could've been somebody else because Juan Pons is not good at all. Maria Chiara was better with Giuseppe Scandola

[@diegoreviati5166]

Scandola has a humongous, burnished and powerful voice. Perfect for Amonasro. When he says "Non sei mia figlia! Dei faraoni tu sei la schiava!" It's almost scary. Sadly he's not much known. 😢

[@deadwalke9588]

@@diegoreviati5166 I agree.

[@paullewis2413]

The finest duet in the history of opera. Good singing but bad acting from Chiara. The definitive performance is Leontyne Price with Robert Merrill/cond. Georg Solti. (recorded c. 1961)

[@Orfeus80]

If only Price had a clue how to phrase and enunciate in Italian. Like a non English speaker singing "Somehow, upper the rainbow"
