Whenever I hear Leontyne's voice it's as though I have fell in love for the first time all over again. I get this overwhelming feeling in my stomach like I want to cry and smile and gasp. It's so exhaustingly beautiful that I can't get enough. I wish that I could have heard her live. Her voice reaches to the depths of my soul and caresses my heart. Thank you for honoring such an amazing artist.
Her voice above all, but also she should be remembered as a great American, a hero, an inspiration needed more today. I remember her as bringing opera to the soul. where all mortals could enjoy it, and she was my introduction to it as a teenager, love at first song! Now that I live in Mississippi, I can't help but remember this native treasure.
I was fortunate enough to hear her and Domingo at the Met in 1969. I was either going to or coming back from a year in Vietnam, and in my Army uniform, when I heard about such a performance and raced to the ticket office right off the plane to ask if any seats were available for the "Force of Destiny" and to my surprise, the clerk told me yes. For $7.50 I was given the 10th row, center front. Her voice was amazing. So clear and powerful and beautiful. It was a night to always remember. I think she was the greatest dramatic soprano of the last 50 to 60 years, in my opinion.
@@auscub213 No, just into reality! It wouldn't have been listed in English. The Met doesn't do operas in English unless they were written in English. They present operas in their original language!

Great Joy in listening to her beautiful voice.
God's gift to us is pure love for the "art form" thank you Ms Leontyne Price your voice will live forever!
I absolutely LOVE her voice! She has been my she-ro in many ways, but mostly "the voice".

Awesome, Regal, Stunning!
Everyone talk about the South, particularly Mississippi but Miss has and still produces some of the greatest people in the USA.
brings tears to my eyes....
God bless this BEAUTIFUL human being Leontine Price!
Absolutely breathtaking a woman of class and talent. I love her reference to Marianne Anderson both great examples for anyone to look up too
Great singer. Great person. Great artist.
I love the way she talk

What an incredible human being - and one of the best Sopranos to ever live.

La Forza del Destino! The Met doesn't do Italian opera in English!
@@brookeggleston9314 What a prissy pedant.
@@auscub213 No, just into reality! It wouldn't have been listed in English. The Met doesn't do operas in English unless they were written in English. They present operas in their original language!
@@brookeggleston9314 Big deal. Anyway, it was probably “Il Trovatore” since she and Domingo didn’t sing Forza until 1977.
@@liedersanger1 Another point of reality!
Pure class
What a magnificent instrument.
Molto bene! Molto grazie.
DIVA!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
"THE FACE OF GOD"......La voce d' un Angelo!!!!
Extraordinary woman
Leontyne Price is indisputably the world’s greatest living soprano.
My hopes is to see Academy Award Winners F. W. & J. H. -develop and star in Ms. Price & Warfield's Biopic! From my post to God's ear!
My God!

AIDA maybe my operatic legacy for
04:49
many reasons but I'm thrilled to say and
04:52
happy that it is for the obvious because
04:55
my skin was my costume I was allowed
04:58
freedoms with her because she was and
05:01
still is very much me to be able to
05:05
finally express not just vocally but
05:11
with words that she was a princess as
05:16
was I'm there's never a slave
05:21
achievement has nothing except what it's
05:24
supposed to be it has no color it has no
05:27
religion it has you and your god-given

@Remalia19 Or, Puccini's "Tosca", as it were. ;-)
what is the name of the song she is singing?? at the start of this video?
Vissi d'Arte, from Tosca
I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player but still can't see this video. My computer doesn't support the browser option.
Is she a mezzo soprano?
No.
