About

It was not until 1993 that Julia Varady made her Vienna State Opera début with a tempestuously acclaimed performance as Senta in Wagner's 'Der fliegende Holländer'. It was a glorious demonstration of her greatest strengths: immaculate technique, unfailing dramatic instinct and stage presence.
As with all her appearances, Julia Varady's performances remain lodged in the audience's memory in spite of her all too early retirement from the operatic stage, only three years after her first appearance in Vienna.
All the roles that she sang in the city are documented here: not only Senta but also four of the Verdi rôles with which she was most closely associated: Aida, with Franz Grundheber and Marjana Lipovšek as her partners; Leonore in both Il Trovatore and La forza del destino; Desdemona in Otello.
The tenor Giuseppe Giacomini is in particularly good form in the Otello excerpts from 1996.
