Maralin Niska’s “In Questa Reggia”

Soprano Maralin Niska sings Turandot’s “In questa reggia” in a live performance by the New York City Opera in Los Angeles, 1976. Ermanno Mauro is Calaf.

Maralin Niska’s performances are among the most vivid memories of my own golden age of opera. I wrote about her here.

Other Niska rarities gave surfaced: a very early sample, singing Liu’s aria from TURANDOT, and  Yaroslavna’s aria from PRINCE IGOR (in English), one of the first operas I heard Maralin sing.
