Sadly the great Teresa Zylis Gara has passed away at the age of 91. I'm plowing through the files for the essence of this marvelous performer. The images span 1971 to 1983. First COSI FAN TUTTE, Fiordiligi with Roz Elias as Dorabella. The whole cast was marvelous, pure Mozart.
DON GIOVANNI, March 1974, the Catalogue aria with Paul Plishka as Leporello. Zylis Gara was Elvira, Sherrill Milnes as Don Giovanni.
OTELLO, March 1972 with James McCracken in the title role. Zylis Gara as Desdemona.
Desdemona with Emilia, Shirley Love and the children's chorus.
December 1972 OTELLO again this time with Jon Vickers.
TURANDOT September 1974, Zylis Gara as Liu, James Morris as Timur, Franco Corelli as Calaf
Act III, i, the Liu death scene.
More pictures tomorrow. News of a death is sad, but the memories are happy ones. Huge thanks and love to Teresa Zylis Gara.
