Raina Kabaivanska is an international treasure! She has no "best" performance. What ever opera you are hearing, that one is the "best." She is as phenomenal as the young Cho Cho San as the 347 year old Elena Macropolus! Raina Kabaivanska is a listener's delight and a composer's dream. She interprets each role exactly as the composer hoped. She is an actress and singer without peer. She is as graceful as a ballerina, and simply beautiful of visage! She is as much a scholar as she is an artist. She is as generous as she is talented. Her modesty is deep and sincere! Viva Raina! Bless your beautiful soul!
