Farewell to Grace Bumbry (1937-2023)

The Great mezzo-soprano with her unique timbre and extremely rare range has died aged 86!!! Hope she Rest in Peace!! Here is a little tribute from me! She really did it her way!!! 🥰

[@donaldlevine1420]

Heartbroken. I thought she'd be around forever. She was my first Eboli, Amneris, Dalila, Azucena and Carmen. She was one of the true greats of the Twentieth Century.

[@CarldeFigueiredo-lf2gc]

Glorious voice and tremendous stage presence! RIP DIVA!

[@Conmezzo]

Thanks for sharing your sumptous voice with us. Rest in Blessed Peace.

[@LorB-Free]

Wow! Thank you Cynthia! Much love to Aunt Grace & You for the remembrances ❤

[@tosca...]

Wonderful! But aren't we lucky to have recordings? May she rest in peace 🙏🏻

[@OperaMyWorld]

We took them for granted many artists of the past!! But still we wait to hear a voice like them!!❤

[@tosca...]

@@OperaMyWorld We really do. I know I have experienced such a change in how I live life since covid that music has suffered more than anything else. I must try harder to resume old habits!

[@jjlungdoc7472]

Unforgettable Amneris ( probably the best ever), Verdi Requiem and Tosca in San Juan between 1971-1972 with other giants such as Arroyo, a young Domingo, Diaz and Mehta.
RIP Maestra.

Magníficas voces que quedan para la posteridad!! 😮😮❤❤

[@Danielap4513]

Grazie Opera❤ Hai voluto subito onorare la memoria di Grace Bumbry

[@maxcornise7204]

Saw her Forzas at The Met in the 80s. And a kitschy Medea at City Opera. The maestro was clearly out of his element in Medea-but she set the stage ablaze!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@guydupays8558]

I will never forget your performance as Eboli in Paris Palais Garnier many many years ago !!!!

Ας είναι το χώμα της ελαφρύ. Ήταν εξαιρετική καλλιτέχνις.
Ευχαριστώ, φίλε μου, για το αφιέρωμα.

GOLD kam aus Ihrer Kehle- so war es in Salzburg, wenn sie nur den Mund auftat ! Sie war eine wirkliche Diva und Grand Dame ! Einzigartig

[@DiomedesDioscuro]

Was she the last true diva to leave us? Is there anyone still alive? May this great singer and charming lady rest in peace.

[@ABCDuwachui]

Leontyne Price is still with us. 😊

[@DiomedesDioscuro]

@@ABCDuwachui You're right, I checked that just after my comment. However, I'm afraid that I don't consider Price such a great singer, since I think she developed, very early in her career, serious emission problems.

[@edivaD62]

Raina Kabaivanska (b. 1934), Martina Arroyo (b. 1937).

[@DiomedesDioscuro]

@@edivaD62 Yeah, they're true divas, but did they reach such a high level? I'm listening to many Arroyo's recordings and no one gives me the impression that she was more than a good singer.

[@eberardo6750]

QEPD.

[@jamaalshelton6793]

Had no idea she passed :(
