Renata Scotto, RIP final post

Color slides sitting in files, most never published. This will be the final post, images in chronological order.  All images chosen for emotion. OTELLO, Sept. 1978, as Desdemona with Jon Vickers in title role.
 




DON CARLO, Elizabetta, Feb. 1979




MACBETH, Nov. 1982 as Lady Macbeth. Sherrill Milnes in title  role.






FRANCESCA DA RIMINI  Mar. 1984  with Placido Domingo





Final opera, CLEMENZA DI TITO, Oct. 1984   with Tatiana Troyanos





This is  the Vitellia Mad scene. I don't remember what happened.... leak in camera? Defective film? Defective cassette?  No idea, but it makes for a swell insanity image.

 My condolences to family and friends.  This is a sad time, but I am so thankful for having witnessed this greatness, the honor to integrity of an art form. 

Dear Renata, THANK YOU !!!!!!!      RIP.
