Sometime around 1988 she gave the premiere of the kabuki-style Madama Butterfly that Lyric Opera of Chicago presented. Faboulous and when she and Suzuki and the child had their vigil for the arrival of Pinkerton I think there was not a dry eye.
Remember her great Violetta in Arena di Verona in 1979 with young debuting Alfredo of Peter Dvorsky at 25 and “young” Renato Bruson as Germont. She was alternating with Katia Ricciarelli & Francois Garner.
