She got the whole package: voice, technique, looks, artistic experession, style, acting, musicality, rich colour, recognisable timbre, forza, humbleness, star quality, grace, proundness of her race, sense of the moment, courage and likeability. Absolutely love this Singer, she is great!
John RONDEAU Shirley Verrett was meant to sing Lady Macbeth. After Maria Callas Shirley Verrett owned the role. When people compare her and Grace bumbry that's absolutely ridiculous. Is it because they're both black they were mezzo-sopranos and became Soprano's? Shirley Verrett voice most like a falcon a true spinto as my dad would say. Shirley Verrett is not Grace bumbry Shirley Verrett to Shirley Verrett leave Grace bumbry out of this the repertoires are totally different and their voices are totally different Shirley Verrett had an incredible voice so flexible and pure and her incredible voice was magnificent. Those of you that understand the human voice know the Shirley Verrett had a special gift to sing Lady Macbeth Etc. Thank you Shirley a great lady that you are and continue to always be in our minds and hearts. We should appreciate Shirley Verrett for giving us a beautiful voice and was great performances all over Europe and the United States. Let's just enjoy and listen to Great artistic Beauty Shirley Verrett. Arnold Bourbon Amaral excuse my typos I use the microphone when I make a comment due to an autoimmune disease I'll be fine my wife and I have been listening to Opera for many many years and she like I and Joyce Shirley Verrett and Lady Macbeth she's one of a kind.

She was such a fantastic artist!!
Une artiste habitée par ses rôles. Souvenirs formidables avec elle. Et quelle noblesse!
She was perfection. One of greatest. Callas Noir as they called her at La Scala
Time to dump “ Callas noir” or “ La nera Callas” and just call her Verrett. Period.
@@jjlungdoc7472 you are right. Duly noted
@@corneliusbates460 Thank you.
This is SINGING!!! 🙌🏻🔥🙌🏻
Versatility, agility consummate artistry and intellect. She does not act so much as she simply channels the very essence of the human predicament.

Cada vez admiro ela mais. Certamente uma grande artista.
i really liked this
Which is 7m45s aria? 😇
Tosca, duet act 3.
Nobody, nobody, nobody, like her
I think the aria is "Mario, Mario" (from "Tosca").
Quale è l'aria a 3'45"?
« Amour, viens aider ma faiblesse » dall’opera Samson et Dalilah del compositore francese Camille Saint-Saëns.
Roberto, Here is another magnificent Verrett duet from "Samson and Delilah"--and from the same performance, I believe, with Jon Vickers.
