I just stumbled across this performance and oh my, I simply had to share it. I’ll now try to regain control of my emotions. Beautiful.

Clearly a remarkable young lady – shame about the amplification though.
Orchestra does a really nice job here too.
Heard Maria Callas do this aria? Also beautiful, though with the sound quality of older recordings.
La Divina, indeed. On high grade vinyl, played on a system of highest fidelity. Because of the astronomical prices of such audio technology, one may have to book a special visit to a reputable dealer to sample the unique sonic experience. A less costly compromise is vinyl listened to with quality headphones. I heartily recommend a visit or two to the audio retailer’s private studio audition. However, no tech publically available can match attendance at a real, live concert.
If I had the funds for most of your excellent suggestions, I’d spend them on a night at a real, live opera somewhere. Well, I would have before the “New Normal” at any rate.
My suggestion to visit an audiophile retailer for the sonic pleasures they can offer and do so for free, is one that I have practised over the decades. Even as I love celestial observatories, I know I cannot pay for one of my own. Hence long clear nights under the ocean of stars serve me well. Naked eye astronomy. Life’s what you make it.
