"So that I´d feel more confident with Karajan", he admitted. Birgit Nilsson had first sung isolde at Colon in 1955, in a run interrumped by the overthrow of Juan Domingo Perón. The stage and hall are enormous, she recalled, and gestures had to be enlarged. But the acoustics are magnificent, and singing requires no more effort than in a much smaller theater because voices carry with such amazing ease.The first […]
