Still, she is considered an outstanding performer of the most famous and most demanding roles – “unforgettable Aida”, “the only Gioconda in the world”, “unique Halka”, “ideal Brünnhilde”,”the most charming Cio-Cio-san”, the last role she played more than hundred times. Krushelnytska challenged any styles and forms.
