Part 5 of my "Dramatic sopranos sing..." series. Thirteen dramatic sopranos sing the climax of Lady Macbeth's Act 1 letter scene (Nel dì della vittoria - Vieni! taffretta! - Or tutti sorgete). One of the most difficult roles for the female voice and Verdi did not go easier elsewhere in the opera either.

*Some singers here are not pure dramatic sopranos but I think still make a convincing portrayal.
