I didn't mean for this site to turn into an obituary site, but that seems to be how it is developing. Not everyone would agree on vocal quality or preferences, but Elena Obraztsova was fun when she was on stage. Hot stuff. First as Amneris, AIDA, 1976 with Carlo Bergonzi as Radames. |

Ulrica in BALLO IN MASCHERA 1990 |
|
Carmen in 1978 |
|
The GAMBLER, 2001, Grammy |
|
Adalgisa in NORMA 1979 with Shirley Verrett in title role |
|
Delilah in SAMSON with Guy Chauvet as Samson 1977 |
|
WAR AND PEACE, 2002, Madame Akhrosimova and then with Anna Netrebko as Natasha Rostova |
|
Charlotte in WERTHER, 1978 |

and with Werther, Placido Domingo |
This is meant as a tribute. Not all images are razor sharp. Not meant to be. It was fun and that whats counts in opera. Memorable good stuff.
