Amazing...a true risk-taker...I love the dramatic intensity and the full-throated coloratura. I wasn't expecting a High-E and the end, but she brought it!!! Good stuff! Thanks for posting!
@dutchbaritone08 Mr. Berge, I respond myself to those who have their own opinions. You are free to say what you wish. Both Randy and I were sorry to miss your, as you call them, "amateur parties" I personally think they are wonderful and filled with fans that love music. My thanks for Mr. Cross, to whom I am grateful for his support of me. throw parties and love music and stop hating so much. Music is so very special... isn't that enough?
Ms. Millo, I have always thought so much of your artistry. I listen to you often and only hope we can have another great verdi soprano like you ASAP> Thank-you for all Chorus Master-Indianapolis Opera
@LohengrinT People compare her to Tebaldi ( as her "successor" .. well I consider her , her "superior" as she is just fabulous ... her voice developed the way it should have , for its type.. Tebaldi on a good day could never equal this And she has added the EFlat, in the Triumphal scene. Her Trovatore,( studio recording) is sooooo good.. I treasure mine.. Not since Callas have I heard Leonora interpreted with such vocalism, and drama.
Il n'est pas très sérieux de faire passer Millo pour un lyrique colorature! ici elle allège son émission pour négocier correctement la vocalisation (mais les piqués lui coutent!). Le résultat est, malgrés ces concssions, assez remarquable et le suraigu (très facultatif) conclusif osé mais gagnant!. Bel investissement mélodique!
@ian1856 Thanks God Tebaldi had no Lily Pons notes like Aprile Millo If Tebaldi wished she could sing like this, she wouldn't have been the glorious singer Tebaldi was. Maddalena Di Coigny, Leonora, Aida, have NO E , no Eflat, no D.
Great singing by Millo! Pity she and Dessi didn't focus on this repertoire more. They both moved on to the heavy dramatic parts too soon. Millo should be proud though, hehe. Callas fans here say she was better than Tebaldi, Tebaldi fans say she was better than Callas. Listen to her wonderful Pirata, Leonora, Aida, all far superior to Callas' uneven singing.
@kgarmaker123 Drammatico soprano or spinto soprano has no E, nor Eflat, and no D. Aprile Millo natural voice is a lyrical coloratura, she covered her middle to seem a spinto but her top is lyrical coloratura at core
mariano barbieri I know may Dramatic sopranos who have notes above high D! Range is different from tessitura. They almost usually have the range...but not the tessitura. They can sing the notes above high D just like a coloratura but they can’t stay therefor very long! And she is NOT a lyric coloratura!!!! 😂😂 like c’mon man!
Millo is Fantastic!!! I don't have the words to say how fantastically amazing her singing is here.
There is so much drama in this voice.. Man .. I have always loved this woman and still do.. Brava Aprile!
She’s GREAT !
A GLORIOUS RENDITION !!!
Thanks, Aprile , you are always the best .
This was beautifully done. Gorgeous voice.
I love this - the beautiful tone, the agility, and the dramatic overtones. Thanks for posting!

What Verdi dramatic soprano could attempt this? Well done Aprile!
There were some Eb in Aida and perhaps Pirata as well, a coloratura she wasn't, but a gorgeous voice no one can argue ab out that!
Lindíssima!!! :)
La Stupenda!!!!
Who cares in which "Fach" she is placed? this was GREAT! There are MANY different voices that can sing MANY different types of repertoire. . .

Actually they can have them. I don't know where you got your information from but you're wrong.
Yes, high E definitely flat and about to crack, but overall an excellent performance
Maybe precarious, but absolutely not flat!

And Callas!?!

Adelina Patti (Aida)! Luisa Tetrazzini and Joan Sutherland (Leonora)! Not to mention Callas (ask of these times you have mentioned)!!!!!!!!

The high E was a bit flat but she did a better job than most sopranos.
