Wonderful performance! Such enunciation! Thank you for posting! Short of the Holy Trinity, no other Triumvitate can challenge Gilbert & Sullivan & Doyly Carte. How many Bach or Beethoven or Mozart or Shakespeare Societies ring the globe compared to G&S ... even in Jerusalem and Barcelona
Valerie never got the recognition she deserved as one of the best ever English operatic sopranos - just listen to her 'Sempre Libera' (La Traviata) - as good a performance as you'll ever hear (sung in English). Her 'Poor Wand'ring One' (Decca, 1960's) is also a gem.
The realm of G&S should consider itself extraordinary lucky have had this brilliant and exceptional voice singing Sullivan's songs at all. An amazing stella star, and mega talent in every conceivable way. . PW
An aria like this elevates G and S to another level!
Wonderful

As great an aria as any in all of opera
