And where is the American Soprano today for who a major revival could be mounted. Never done at the MET - even after the whole Sills/Bing issues were long gone and both had passed. A great shame. Still a fine American opera.

I'm weary of reading the comments of would-be advisors to Carreras. Don't listen to what you don't like. I, however, am interested in Carreras' choices and the ways he challenged himself. A world-class artist nearly dies at the peak of his career and manages, as he himself said, two types of careers, before and after, and remains active into his 70's. I want to listen to a wonder like that.

Era già sfiatata nel 1989...

❤❤❤❤❤ Hab ich gesehen 1962 bei einem Gastspiel der Stuttgarter in Wien , war einfach großartig, die ganze Aufführung und besonders die Mödl , unvergessen !!!!!

Some exquisite Franco-German touch produced this intensively poignant version

Very “American” pronunciation- easily understood. Not always the case, especially for the Soprano voice. A lovely rendition of this role. Reminiscent of Sills but with her own approach, more youthful perhaps.

Fantastico el tenor

MARAVILLOSA

Her voice is too constricted, nasal, thick and breathy she doesn't have proper legato 😢

Leider ist heute es nicht mehr auf dem Programm des Intendanten von Heute schade ,die Kulisse für diese Musik gemacht ,ich hoffe es kommt mal wieder dazu

WOW, what a surprise!!! ...and a very nice one! Thank you so much for sharing!

Such a tragic true story....

They are sooo good! Best quality in Voice, Style, acting!!!!! Today in Zürich Opera House the quality of the productions is not the same.....

Deon Van Der Walt tenore magico dalla voce potente e bel timbro e Kasarova dal timbro scuro e morbido insieme in un duetto fantastico. ❤🎼💎🎶

Dr. Manfred Josef .

Way

Uhm my name is ninette and spelt the same why

Terrific singing and acting.

Where is the rest of it?.x

Carreras' handsome, fine features cannot be disguised and remind us throughout the opera that this Canio the clown is a man, a man in pain. His humanity and fragility are apparent in his desperation.

Jose Carreras is fantastic at expressing the combination of love, betrayal, anguish, and desperation that drives his character. The passion, always the passion, in his performance keeps him true. That last line brings tears to my eyes.

Гениальная Ольга Бородина!🙏❤️❤️❤️🌺🌺🌺

Angela Denoke ist einfach unübertrefflich - auch als Salome - schade man muss sie suchen!

Meravigliosa.

The snippet of duet (Debussy) between contralto and low mezzo is beautiful.

Just divine singing!

Frances Bible sang Augusta; Patrick Bakman was the director

ONE OFF THE GREAT TENORS.

Funny how some idiot always coughs just before an important moment, or during a final chord.

This is utterly fantastic. She is so beautiful.

Omg... Es divino😍

Visto che ormai non ci sono più autori decenti che scrivano opere liriche perché non proporre di più questi operisti dell'ottocento.Di Donizetti si rappresentano solo quattro cinque opere mentre ne ha scritte almeno una settantina

Is the complete performance video available anywhere? I'd love to see it.

Just gorgeous.

Rarest coincidence: kassarovas vocal intelligence ist always reaching your heart!

Prachtig !
