Alceste, Shirley Verrett Paris Opera. 1985.

She really is the ultimate. Even on a physical level, you can tell her face was sculpted to be illuminated by the spotlights of a stage.

Grazie Foropera per Alceste e la Verret

I sang the Evandre in this production.Shirley Verrett was amazing in every way.Great dramatic singing and a wonderfully warm and generous colleague.All the more remarkable given that she was having to deal with hormonal changes that were interfering with the ease of her voice.
