WOW!!! That was BRILLIANT! She was In=Character from the first note, and didn't hold anything back. God bless people of such talent that share it with the world. Same thing I am trying to do in my painting, teaching, and living.
My most favorite Butterfly ever! She's living it like no one else, what a precious document of how she must have sung it in full staged performances in the 60s and 70s!
Quello che era il nostro orgoglio nel mondo, LOPERA LIRICA DEI NONSTRI GRANDI AUTORI.. La RENATA era una delle interpreti di punta, una stella delle più brillanti. Ebbene ci ha lasciati e non ho sentito nessun commento nei tg. e notiziari nazionali, semplicemente ignorata!!!!!!! Che vergogna!!!!!!!! , mentre per altri rochettari si spendono commenti a non finire!!!! Certo il mondo ora gira così.... Consoliamoci con queste registrazioni dei nostri beniamini che ci hanno fatto onore nel mondo e orgogliosi di essere Italiani. Amen😢
I was very fortunate to experience this fantastic singer as Gilda in Verona in 1966.. she sang terrificly alongside Cappuccilli and Aragall !! Rest in peace !! I will never forget you !!
Magnificent singer. Such Grace and elegance when she takes her bow. The greatest Butterfly . She left the world to soon. Renata and Beverly, two great divas on the same stage. Two great divas in every sense of the word.
That’s true about all great artists. Their gifts were so great that, even if they lived until 150, it would be “too soon” when they eventually died. It’s a pity, but at least we have these memories preserved in digital form to always enjoy!!!
When I see her tiny frame vibrating full force to express what she needs to convey, I understand why she cut her career short in her last years. Who cares? Vissi d'arte. Better to sing like that for 20 years than hold back and be mediocre for 40 years, like many others. God bless you Renata. A magnificent artist and a very generous one. May you rest in peace.
No matter who sings this aria, I’m transported to Japan and into Cio-Cio-San’s tender heart. The heartfelt and simple lyrics always pierce my heart, and I vicariously feel her pain. ❤
Absofreakinglutely the Best Version of Un bel di I have ever seen/heard!!!! I love how she understands and uses the text to color, and dynamically sculpt her phrases!!! SOOOO many singers ignore the nuances of the text. The lush, large quality of the bottom notes is *almost* orgasmic!!!! She's at the point where she's lost a bunch of weight, looks great, and it hasn't taken its toll on her voice!!!! Would that we could see her do 20 different roles at this point!!!! Her Lucia is Splendid, as is her Gioconda-and everything in-between before she took on too much vocal weight and career stress Her Mimi on the first Live Ftom the Met in Feb 1977 is a Hallmark of Beauty and Passion!!!! Her 2 arias are Extrafreakinordinary Outrageous !!! BRAVA!!!
She always wanted and did put all of her vocal skills in the service of bringing us into the soul of the characters she brought to us. Thank you Renata. Rest in peace and glory with our Lord.
Cara Renata resterai nei nostri cuori e la tua voce continuerà a risuonare attraverso le testimonianze della tua grande arte.Canta serena con tutte le cantatrici che ti hanno preceduta lassù, un grande coro di voci angeliche !❤
¡Sublime! Renata Scotto no necesita vestuario, escenario, atrezzo...Su presencia, sus gestos, el dominio de su voz, su técnica, con todo ello es capaz de transportarnos a la escena en la que Cio-Cio Sand ve como llega a puerto el barco en el que viene su amor Pikerton, todas las emociones que experimenta: miedo, pasión, ternura. Solo las más grandes consiguen que los espectadores, los oyentes, sintamos todo eso a través de voz y sus gestos, el resto es superfluo. Mi más rendido y admirado homenaje a esta gran dama que hoy ha muerto. ¡Brava, bravísima Renata, por siempre!
A wonderful. beautiful performance by an artist with an incomparable voice and technique. Her taste in dress is also superb, beautiful and elegant, unlike the glitz that many sopranos seem to fall victim to. Bravissima!
Che artista commovente. Non so quante altre sono o siano state capaci di far vivere un personaggio in modo così vibrante nel corso di un recital. Senza costumi o messinscena. Tra le più grandi del novecento... pur non essendo dotata di voce torrenziale ha saputo sopperire con l'intelligenza e con la perfezione tecnica diventando una fuoriclasse sia nel canto che nella recitazione
She sang very well here. I heard her in Norma in Jones Hall many years ago, and her voice was scarcely audible, the vibrato had become tremolo. Butterfly suits her so much better. Requiescat in pace, bella donna!
Simply magical, not a well known as her "rival" Callas, sad to see she has departed this life! (but she lived a long life full of well deserved adoration) 😄
Ce beau pays qu est l Italie nous a offert des joyaux comme renata, mirella , Anna , maria . Et bien d autres divas , quelle chance nous avons dde les ecouter et réécouter ,merci ,
Absolutely perfect!! Renata Scotto remains THE Butterfly for me! Her interpretation of this aria is without parallel. Most sopranos sing this as a dark, severely serious, almost dirge-like aria. But the text is anything but that - as Renata so spectacularly conveys. Butterfly is hopeful - she is happily anticipating Pinkerton's return. And she's even mad at Suzuki who is fearful. Butterfly is convinced with "sicura fede" that Pinkerton is coming back to her. She has the whole scene of how he will greet her set up in her mind. She's going to wait patiently, no matter how long it takes. In this vision of hers, for his return, she is exultant!! This makes the reality of what happens in the second act even more gripping, heart-breaking and tragic.
I'm floored at how amazing she is at depicting the emotions and character. I heard of her because of Robin Follman, one of her very successful students who was world renowned and starred in over 50 operas herself. I can see her in Robin Follman's way of being completely immersedninnthe character.
Donna e artista oltre le convenzioni...e in certi ruoli ...interprete storica.. .che bella testimonianza . ...che poi ci sia Levine ...è un'altra Perla ....artista , sul cui lavoro Titanico anche a New York; si è steso un velo di omertoso e avvelenato , di Ingiusto oblio!.... Riposa fra gli angeli...in pace ! amen
It's incredible how important the director is for the orchestra, and how responsive the orchestra is to the direction! Just notice how, during the happy birthday song, the musicians waited for the director to kiss Renata, and then continued only when the director wanted, without losing their cohesion or ruining the melody.
Да, хорошее исполнение, слушал многих исполнителей и мною обожаемую Каллас, но мне больше нравится как исполняет эту арию Мария Биешу, послушайте, я не навязываю.
Credo sia una registrazione del 1980 al New York City Opera. È impressionante come aumenta la tensione dal momento che finisce di raccontare l'arrivo di Pinkerton e canta "Tutto questo avverrà, te lo prometto" fino a "l'aspetto". Che grande musicista e interprete!
Questo concerto e' stato registrato sul palcoscenico della Metropolitan Opera di New York. Le recite della New York City Opera avevano lougo nel New York State Theater, conosciuto oggi come il David Koch Theater.
Immensa Artista, dotata di intelligenza, musicalità e, soprattutto, di una forza di volontà senza pari. Una grandissima cantante/attrice che resterà sempre nei nostri cuori
I saw her as Norma at the met in 1980 (?) Some italian in standing room next to me shouted insults at her in italian and was dragged from the theatre, The next day the review called her 'Renate Screecho'. But I was an out-of-towner and thought it was all just fabulous !
WOW!!! That was BRILLIANT! She was In=Character from the first note, and didn't hold anything back. God bless people of such talent that share it with the world. Same thing I am trying to do in my painting, teaching, and living.
My most favorite Butterfly ever! She's living it like no one else, what a precious document of how she must have sung it in full staged performances in the 60s and 70s!
Even in the mid 80s when I experienced her Butterfly it was quite beautiful.
Ying Huang's rendition was magnificent, too.
I can't even imagine how exciting it would've been
and my favorite butterfly, performed by Julian Grigoryan. I recommend listening to it.

Jour d'anniversaire mais aujourd'hui, jour de deuil ! Merci à Renata Scotto pour tous ces merveilleux moments que son art nous a offerts !
I believed every word she sang. Superb Renata !!!
Un'interpretazione sconvolgente!Renata Scotto arriva dritta al cuore.Un'artista immensa
DIVINAAAAA!!!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Bravaaaaaa. Oh good heavens what a beautiful voice. Perfect interpretation. RIP darling Renata. Charm heavens with your angelic voice.❤❤
How is it possible for such beauty and genius to end. Heartbroken. RIP.

Lovely, I was there, it was a magical night.

Absolutely phenomenal interpretation! The phrasing, the freedom, declamation, the character!
Absofreakinglutely the Best Version of Un bel di I have ever seen/heard!!!!

Today I read that Renata died at 89 years. I never heard of her but…..what a voice. RIP Renata
Omg! Ughhhhh! May she Rest In Peace 🙏🏽💛🙏🏽
the youtube Ai algorithm doesn't miss a beat.
She was Callas rival and for good reason
@@joannlove3414 it was Renata Tebaldi, not Renata Scotto
Non aver mai sentito parlare ðella Scotto??
Incredibile, perché è stata una grande soprano
Very clear, clean, effective delivery of motion and feelings. Gorgeously presented.
¡Sublime! Renata Scotto no necesita vestuario, escenario, atrezzo...Su presencia, sus gestos, el dominio de su voz, su técnica, con todo ello es capaz de transportarnos a la escena en la que Cio-Cio Sand ve como llega a puerto el barco en el que viene su amor Pikerton, todas las emociones que experimenta: miedo, pasión, ternura.

A wonderful. beautiful performance by an artist with an incomparable voice and technique. Her taste in dress is also superb, beautiful and elegant, unlike the glitz that many sopranos seem to fall victim to. Bravissima!
Vero, elegantissima
Discreet and gorgeous at the same time
She is amazing each time I listen to this I am speechless and hold my breath..... What a beautiful voice....
Yes, I just saw that she died last month. I'm glad we have these recordings. She had a very beautiful and melodic voice.
Che artista commovente. Non so quante altre sono o siano state capaci di far vivere un personaggio in modo così vibrante nel corso di un recital. Senza costumi o messinscena.

Tutto questo è vero ! Grazie !
Ottimo commento. Mi hai aiutato molto bene a capire la statura della grande artista italiana.
This is the exact broadcast performance that made me fall in love with this aria and with Maestra Scotto many years ago.
Mamma mia , che capolavoro assoluto ! non mi vergogno a dire che ho pianto durante l'ascolto
Si è emozionante
Ecco un esempio lampante del famoso "recitare cantando". Perfetta. Bravaaaaa
Thank you for uploading
Hopefully it will inspire the next generation of great singers.
It's such a privilege to watch such a talent
So Beautiful and full of Emotion! Thank You!
I love how sincerely touched she was at everyone singing Happy Birthday to her that she cried!
"Tutto questo vero verra ,te lo prometto"Sbalorditivo!Mi fai emizionate fino alle lacrime!🥹
Maravillosa performance. Deleita en sumo grado con su brillantez y sentimiento
What a powerful voice and amazing singer - loved every sound and orchestra wonderful.........Her voice is truly Cosmic......
She sang very well here. I heard her in Norma in Jones Hall many years ago, and her voice was scarcely audible, the vibrato had become tremolo. Butterfly suits her so much better. Requiescat in pace, bella donna!
Simply magical, not a well known as her "rival" Callas, sad to see she has departed this life! (but she lived a long life full of well deserved adoration) 😄
That was Absolutely Magickal ! What a Great Performer ! She does not just sing the part, She LIVES the part !
Es una interprete maravillosa.!!!!!!!!!! Hermosa!!!!
Absolutely wonderfully sung and interrupted with such emotions. How to bring the house down.
Gorgeous. If I recall correctly, she gave an evening Butterfly broadcast on Christmas of 1965.
RIP Renata.
I felt every note of this! Amazing!❤
This vid was posted on my birthday! Even better!
Oh ..so soft.. let me forget evrything. Thank you❤
Renata Scotto una voce unica, incantevole!
I got so emotional just watching this clip. What an amazing interpretation ❤
WOW! Breathtaking. such a huge voice, from this awesome petite lady. BRAVA
Me gustaria saber porqué ya no hay cantantes así....❤️❤️
The technique is no longer competently taught. Modern teaching sucks.
Ce beau pays qu est l Italie nous a offert des joyaux comme renata, mirella , Anna , maria . Et bien d autres divas , quelle chance nous avons dde les ecouter et réécouter ,merci ,
Bravo one of my all time favourite artists. Thank you Renata.

L'ultima grande soprano !! Un'aria questa cantata magistralmente, e con grandissima intensità interpretativa.
Mi manca molto Renata Scotto. L'ho sentita cantare dal vivo a New York tante volte
Sublime Renata!
Magnifica Renata...
Una grandiosa e passionale Cio Cio San
Divina.... ❤️
most stunning version of this aria ever!!!
So much emotion.
Sublime!!!!❤
La hubieras escuchado cuando era joven era una maravilla.
La primera vez que la e escuche tenia 15 años y me encantó.
She’s so tiny. She looks like a beautiful dolls . What a great performance!
Debbie.... and she's in high heels!!! She's just five feet tall...
Wonderful and entrancing god bless her ,RIP
Thank you for posting this.
Mon dieu, quel talent ❤
A real star...Miss Scotto one of the best for sure.
La maestra scotto me estremeció.. bravo..
Ha un modo di mettere la voce da coinvolgermi emotivamente. .. Sempre
Che un'artista! Joyful anticipation, with moments of doubt and pain--I've never understood the character so well as in this performance.,
Straordinaria!!!
In questo triste giorno, ti saluto ascoltandoti❤️
Dios mio, UNICA, que técnica, la amo
de acuerdo
Una lezione di tecnica, musicalità, stile, fraseggio
Artistry, and beauty.
What a great Artist she is..
Великая артистка!!!Какое проникновение в образ!!! Брависсимо!!!
Да, хорошее исполнение, слушал многих исполнителей и мною обожаемую Каллас, но мне больше нравится как исполняет эту арию Мария Биешу, послушайте, я не навязываю.
Addio grande Renata e grazie di tutto...r.i.p. 🌹😘🙏❤️
Grandísima soprano y artista . D.E.P. Renata Scotto .
Beautifully performed by a beautiful lady, thank you Renata for the pleasure you have given throughout your long career.
I just found out about her, and I was amazed with her voice. RIP
Maravillosa interpretación.!!
Nice inro from "Bubbles Silverman".....Of whom I have the grand pleasure of seeing and hearing her many a time.
Did Bubbles have a big voice? I never heard her live but a friend told me her voice was on the small side
Excelente interpretación y DRAMATIZACION
Tante voci hanno cantato degnamente questa meravigliosa musica ma Renata Scotto è la migliore di sempre.
Sono d'accordo. Saluti
Grazie per l'abilità! Arco e regno dei cieli, grande!
Non ho mai avuto grande amore per questa cantante...ma in questa circostanza è molto brava!!!
The best ever Butterfly! Sublime.
Sublime....❤
Divina
Thank you so very much!
Awesome!
Beautifully done!!
