    This unique treasure, the likes of whom NZ and the international opera world will never see again. Dame Kiri Te Kanawa has it all: beauty, the gift of her incomparable voice, grace and class.
  • @baritonebynight
    I though that this would be Dame Kiri's final recording/performance. How lucky I was so hear her live in 2006 and that she sang another 12 years after this was recorded. What a voice...what an artist.
  • @jlb9368
    For sheer beauty of singing, Dame Kiri is hard to beat. For me, she is the highest standard of the Countess and Marshalllin.

  • @santi7616

    Kiri es magnífica, por donde se la mire. Vos, figura, femeneidad, Garbo, dominio escénico y muy digna representante de su hermoso país. Conclusión, Kiri nos asegura, una expresión estética total. Aleluya y gracias!!!!!!

    Twenty eight minutes in - an angel sings ... and Kiri still had years to go. She took good care of that voice. ❤
  • @jbloveday9538
    Watching this in 2019 and loving it! Great to hear Helen Medlyn again too.
  • @mudgebauer
    Such a great concert. The soloists were marvelous, especially Maestro O'Neill, nessun Dorma .
  • Oh my goodness what I would have given to be there to see this!! Dame Te Kanawa, what else can I say that no one has said before, maybe just this: That her voice is an extension of her beauty. I don't recall any opera singer in recent years who is as beautiful as she is and who has the voice to match the physical beauty. And her dresses, one prettier than the other...What a night. BRAVA yet again.
  • Je suis une admiratrice de Dame Kiri Te Kanawa depuis 1979. Quelle belle voix et quelle classe!...merci pour les beaux moments que je passe en vous écoutant ou en vous voyant en vidéos. Que Dieu vous bénisse.

    All of them! — & What Voices: Meravigliose!
  • Her "Chi Il Bel Sogno Di Doretta" in this concert is just STUNNING. Wow.
  • A fabulous concert! I appreciate the costume changes! Love Kiri ❤
  • Beste Madame Butterfly, die je gehört habe! ich hätte so gern eines Tages sie direkt hören.
