I present this tribute to Zinka Milanov,my all-time favorite artist. She sings excerpts from La Gioconda,Ernani,Andrea Chenier,La Forza del Destino, and Norma. Enjoy!

      I have always felt that Mme.Regina Resnik has been one of our greatest artists,not only in her varied opera career as soprano and mezzo-soprano,but also as teacher,producer,director,filmmaker,etc.
       I think this special tribute will thrill you and help you to understand the genius of this great artist in a program of many of her roles as mezzo and soprano.
  

 

If you had atttended the Met performances of this opera with the same cast (Nilsson, Resnik, Rysanek), you would have needed oxygen!

One of the most exciting performances of this opera (from 1974)
