    I adored Barbara Daniels in FANCIULLA and she made me come to love this opera so much. I met her a few times and THAT I will never forget.
    I don't think the MET was fair to Barbara Daniels after FANCIULLA. Shortly after, she left the MET and really never returned though she did a DIE LUSTIGE WITWE at the MET.

    I loved you Barbara as MINNIE! You were fantastic! I'm so sad your Met career did not go well after FANCIULLA!
    I will never understand the why! I wish you are well! God Bless!

    Love the movie. Milnes, great sherriff. Marvelous staging in the first act. One of my favorite Puccini operas.

    Thanks to jetaimearin for posting this wonderful interview. Thanks to Barbara Daniels for her astonishing portrayal as Minnie and for giving this insightful interview. Fanciulla del West is so beautiful and so haunting. The Met production is sensational. Barbara Daniels IS Minnie and I am so thankful for that gift!

    Barbara Daniels is so intelligent a singer, as reflected in this very interesting interview. I saw her production of "La Fanciulla del West" with Slatkin/Domingo/Milnes when it was broadcast over PBS decades ago, and I have seen it again and again on TH-cam. I think it is the definitive version available to the public of this opera. That makes me agree with "jetaimearin's" comment above that this is a singer who deserves to be far better known.

    Barbara Daniels was spectacular as Minnie in the Metropolitan Opera's production of "La Fanciulla del West". In recorded it on my VCR in early 90s and I bought the DVD when it was issued. What a great opera and what a terrific cast. The production, itself, is wonderful. But without Barbara Daniels' portrayal of Minnie it would all have been a big flop. I've watched it dozens of times.

    THAT voice a superb voice! Terribly missed! Golden voice, gorgeous sound and she resembled a bit the great Maria Jeritza! RIP

    Oh, she was a wonderful artist! I saw her many times at the Met, although the management underutilized her by assigning Musetta way too often.

    Daniels posesses a vibrant soprano and she was very jubilant in everything she sang. Minnie was a enjoable role for her to watch. From her notes here it sounds like the production was harrowing. I know vocally Minnie is a voice shredder up there with Abagaille, Odabella, Turandot... it is more romantic than most shredders but my goodness she must have earned every penny of her fees. Brava.

    I am so happy that you have been able to move through all the bad parts of your life and come so far. Was in the same class with Janet.

    Dear Barbara, you are just as lovely as you were in 1973, when we both auditioned for Braunschweig, and had a short chat at the Bahnhof. Saw you in Zürich (1980) as Margerita (with Sam Ramey). Adore your voice ! ! !

    @OperaBohemian Isn't it lovely? She is one of my very favorite sopranos. I just wish she were better known! Thanks for the comment :)
