		Regally striding onto the stage, looking gorgeous in a full-length fl sequined dress, soprano Kiri Te Kanawa spoke to the Proctor’s audience before her first number.
		From the first one, “Ständchen,” which gave the vocal line pleasant melodic leaps over a rippling piano arpeggio, Te Kanawa showed her intense dynamic control, which was even more effective in the next song, “Nacht,” a lullaby-like number.
		Ginastera’s “Canción al arbol del olvido” got an amusingly seductive performance, letting the up-till-now reserved Dame Kiri vamp a bit; then she wrapped it all up with the kind of number everyone had hoped to hear: Puccini’s “O mio babbino caro,” which was as gorgeously rendered as you ever could hope to hear.

		Kiri Te Kanawa inspires a kind of affection that is accorded to few prima donnas, for the warmth and expressiveness of her singing, for her natural ease in operatic roles, and particularly for a sunny, outgoing personality that is clearly projected in her stage presence.
		Kiri Te Kanawa, on the strength of her performance as Donna Elvira in the Joseph Losey production of Don Giovanni, was the first soprano whose singing literally brought me to tears.
		Dame Kiri, to her credit, serves them with her voice as opposed to things being the other way around as is so often the case with recording stars.

		Dame Kiri adopted a decidedly South American idiom as she sang with vibrancy, and one could have expected the audience to just stand up and jig along.
