"L'aborrita rivale a me sfuggia", beginning of Act 4 of Aida. Dolora Zajick is Amneris, Placido Domingo is Radames. Conducted by James Levine. The camerawork, typical for the Met at this time, doesn't really do justice to the production.
Spectacular! Two great artists at their considerable best! Domingo still has the full measure of Radames and Zajick is by far the finest Amneris since Fiorenza Cossotto. She commands the same type of vocal fireworks and chews the scenery in a way that cannot fail to bring down the house! Brava Dolora and thanks for posting!
Dolora is far better than Cossotto and really she is the best Amneris since Stignani. Domingo as usual cracks even on an A natural. The best Radames is Corelli by far.
