About

“Zinka Milanov as Aida…turned phrases so eloquently that they became not merely acceptable musical phrases, but heart- storming expressions of emotion” - Cecil Smith reporting on Milanov’s debut in Chicago, 1940.

For many years one of the richest opera houses in the world, The Metropolitan Opera could afford to contract some of the greatest voices ever to be heard in any theatre. One such voice was that of Zinka Milanov. Milanov’s voice was an outstanding dramatic soprano: a relaxed and resonant lower register, beautiful, full bodied and warm middle tones, coupled with a brilliant upper extension, which she could soften at will to produce superb floated pianissimi. During performances her fans would wait anxiously for such an effect, which Paul Jackson refers to as ‘Milanov Moments’ in his excellent book Saturday Afternoons at the Old Met.

Milanov had caused a sensation in 1938 when she appeared in London singing Verdi’s Requiem under Toscanini, and she returned with him in 1939 to sing Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis. But British audiences had to wait until 11 July 1956 for her operatic debut in Tosca with Feruccio Tagliavini as Cavaradossi and Scipio Columbo as Scarpia. The press acknowledged her great American career, but went on to welcome her to London as the then Yugoslavian President, Marshal Tito’s favourite soprano! According to Harold Rosenthal’s Two Centuries of Opera at Covent Garden “she gave a display of singing and acting in the grand style, and her beautiful voice, warm and expressive, was heard to fine effect”.
