London is my home for just 76 years ! In my twenties, I felt I needed some guidance and was referred to a wonderful man for some psychotherapy. The best decision of my life. I mentioned I love music and he asked if I’d been to Covent Garden. I didn’t even know where it was but he started me on a miraculous journey ever since - the 2 greatest nights of many were Miss Price who was Leonora in Il Trovatore
I had to fortune to hear both of these singers in the theatre. Mary Violet Leontyne Price turned 95 this past February. There are better quality videos of these performances on UA-cam and elsewhere.

What made them so, please?
Technique and dedication... I fear a lost tradition today
Sills is divine in Roberto Devereux!
Leonora was one of Price's greatest roles. Great, rare clips.
