So many people are moved man,trust me....for you to talk about Tebaldi as "just voice, nothing else" is so shallow and ignorant, La Tebaldi sang with great diction, feeling every word she sang, divine phrasing, volcanic strength or angelic softness according to what the score required. To you Callas is the best, and to many others too, but to me, and quite a few other people, they were equally great in their own areas and it's completely pointless and stupid to look for a virtual winner.

[@malenasheytanova9967]

Tebaldi had the rare (excellent or horrible) chance to live in the time of the greatest operatic divas of all time. And yes, Callas. I'm just one more person inlove with her genius - in a way, her art was something like a parent and a teacher to me - I grew up with it, eager to always hear more. With this said, Tebaldi is a remarkable artist - the kind that, unfortunately, is nowhere around on the world stages, nor will be, considering the mediocre level both on, behing and in front of the stage. Tebaldi shouldn't be shadowed by Callas - they are two different artists, each one with a unique and distinctive artistic signature. And this rivalry should have never taken place - there aren't too much Tebaldis, nor Callases, so anybody had got to choose between them. In fact, there are no more of their kind. I'm very thankful for this remarcable rendition of hers.

​@@malenasheytanova9967 Если бы мне предложили создать робота с самым прекрасным голосом, какой только можно представить, я бы дала ему голос Тебальди. Есть множество прекрасных певиц и сейчас, достойных восхищения. У них , может быть, не такие совершенные, но все же великолепные голоса. Соня Йончева , например. Мягкий, невероятно женственный, нежный и одновременно чувственный голос и прекрасная выучка. Обожаю ее Мими. Но это просто пример. Хороших певцов, повторяю, много и сейчас. Главное в исполнении даже не совершенство голоса, а прелесть живого человеческого чувства. Поэтому Вы правы, когда говорите, о том, что каждый хороший певец или певица неповторим. Как и хороший мастер, художник.

[@jorgemarioteixeiragrego4636]

assim como se procura outra Callas, procura-se a "herdeira" da Tebaldi. Poderia ter sido a Aprile Millo, mas maluca demais e desperdiçando superagudo até na Saída, não sei que fim levou. Com voz, beleza e presença temos, no momento, a Netrebko, que quer cantar tudo, até papéis consagrados às sopranos mais leves, como "Lucia" ela põe em seu repertório. Tomara que esse caminho não faça sua voz "balançar" e ela ir pro banco.

Hello pretty lady 💖

[@stevecampo1618]

I am immensely fortunate to have seen live performances of Madama Butterfly with Leontyne Price, Renata Scotto, Yasuko Hayashi... the list goes on. However, this video of Renata Tebaldi is astonishing. Those who fault her as an actress must see this. I was artistic director of a professional regional theater for nearly thirty years and I am here to say that Tebaldi's performance here is not only vocally ravishing, but I have never been so moved by "Un bel di vedremo" as I was watching this video. She is utterly connected with every word, every gesture, every moment. Her "meanings" are perfectly articulated throughout the aria. I have always loved Renata Tebaldi as a singer, but this video reveals a dimension and a depth to her that, frankly, I didn't know existed. Perhaps she simply needed great directors to access all that she had inside. I would do anything to get my hands on the complete opera video, if it exists. I'd appreciate any suggestions. In the meantime, thank you, Renata... this is astounding! It is art in its highest form.

Callas è cantante immensa, è vero. Ma Tebaldi in «Un Bel dì vedremo», come in altre delle "sue" opere, TEBALDI ha qualcosa che penetra nella carne...E non è "coca cola".

[@Zva26]

Just to add to what I previously posted, I am really at a loss to understand how these two sublime artists could have ever been compared. Tebaldi was a modern Twentieth Century soprano whose repertoire was rooted in Puccini and the verismo composers, as well as a few Verdi roles. Callas's art was rooted in a much earlier period (bel canto) and she had a three octave range which enabled her to undertake everything. Callas did not have the vocal velvet of Tebaldi. She was a different artist altogether. Bashing one against the other is stupid and shows an innate ignorance about music. Two different artistic approaches COMPLETELY.

[@jennifermason9557]

EXACTLY! I personally prefer Callas - she put bags of personality into her performances which made them so electric. She became the characters she portrayed - and she is the standard for the acting. You weren't watching someone play Cio Cio, you were watching Cio Cio. She's heartbreaking in every performance. Rebaldi's voice is of course divine and when she hits 'that' note, well, it's sublime. Let's appreciate the total gorgeousness that each performer brings.

[@DrGNavarro]

Well, I love Maria but mainly for her "hard" roles as Fioria Tosca (for me the best one) but, for Cio CIo...I reaally prefer Tebaldi and much more, Victoria de Los Angeles, whose voice and technique is absolutely perfect for such a role. In fact Victoria is , for me, one of the best of the history, with a perfection you can barely listen to. But, as I said above, I also do like Callas, Tebaldi or other ones (Freni is a wonderful and credible Mimi).

[@Zva26]

You're right, of course. For operas like Norma, Anna Bolena, Sonnambula, Medea, Iphegine, Lady Macbeth, Armida, Alceste, Lucia, and the heavy Verdi operas, Callas is the point of reference. For the operas of the early part of the Twentieth Century (those of Puccini, Cilea, Catalani, etc), Tebaldi's voice was tailor made for them. It's just that Callas was able to command a much wider more far more diversified repertoire. Callas was a demonic genius. There won't be another like her...............ever.

No doubt about it. Tebaldi had a ravishing vocal endowment and she was a wonderfully disciplined artist. No reason whatsoever to compare her and Maria Callas. Both had different attributes, sought different artistic goals, and really specialized in their own respective repertoires. Both defined a period in Italian opera that we will not likely encounter again. Brava to both of these and sublime goddesses.

Many opera lovers, including yours truly, prefer Tebaldi for the unequaled richness of her voice.

For me, Callas sounded like she had a broken heart ; La Tebaldi broke your heart.

[@paulvesely4773]

J A McKenzie : Agree or not , that is the best comment I have read ever on this issue. If you are interested in only the sound , Renata Tebaldi's voice is incomperable . A huge voice perhaps not easy to equate with a 15year old girl. I was convinced that it was only the auditory aspect that counted until I saw Frederic Mitterands movie of Madame Butterfly with Ying Huang. Ms. Huang is a lovely soprano but it is the combination of the visual with the music that really makes it very special. I recommend watching and listening.

[@jmckenzie2402]

PAUL VESELY Thanks Paul, I'll look for it. I probably have a soft spot for Tebaldi : My Dad played opera when I was a kid. About 15 ago I heard Tebaldi on TV and loved her so that I bought a double CD set. When Dad died I went through his old records- the Butterfly I heard as a child was Tebaldi! Maybe I remembered her voice. I had never known until I found the old 45 record that it was her.

Callas is my favorite soprano, but I like Tebaldi as well. I have all of her recordings and she has a spectacularly beautiful voice. And I also like Sutherland. Callas, Tebaldi, and Sutherland are all great artists of the operatic stage. This praising one and bashing the other is ridiculous.

[@markturner4219]

Duh! In case you hadn't noticed it's a tragedy (as are most Puccini's opera's) He usually deals with flawed love and his heroines almost invariably are poorly treated and die a tragic death. Puccini certainly didn't see his female leads love in the way your suggesting.

uno può essere fan oppure no della Tebaldi in entrambi i casi dovrebbe ammettere che questo soprano é un interprete e non solo cantante di levatura storica in Puccini! ha per fortuna inciso quasi tutto la sua tosca cio cio san fanciulla del west e altre sono nonostante gli anni ancora di riferimento così come nel tardo verdi forza otello aida sono all'apice di una ideale classifica con pochissime possibilità di confronto con altre cantanti!

Thank you for putting this up , beautiful just beautiful

Voce llimpida,cristallina,dolce,ma nello stesso tempo drammatica e potente.

[@angelabender8132]

Bravissima anche come attrice Bella..e io che da bimba la consideravo poco attraente

[@kzarva]

Both Callas and Tebaldi were out of this world in their right... stop trying to compare what two of the most powerful voices and stage presences in opera history. It is useless, I prefer La Divina others Tebaldi... so what!!! I love them both in the end.

La perfezione ha un nome e un cognome: RENATA TEBALDI

[@machovoce6826]

Watching and listening to this it's easy to understand why New Yorkers rose to their feet in cheering adoration 20 years after her last performance there.

[@RafaelC.Martinez]

Es impresionante cómo une una preciosa voz a una intensidad y capacidad dramática extraordinarias. Emocionante, perfecta, grandiosa.

[@eleonora_rossi_soprano]

her voice is really amazing!

[@Bobrogers99]

Renata Tebaldi was consistent through her whole range, never shrill or labored. She didn't have to shift registers to hit those high notes. There are no bad recordings of her, and when she felt she could no longer offer her audiences the finest quality she graciously bowed out. If only Puccini could have heard her sing!

[@davidgould9431]

Lovely sound, but amazingly "haspirates". See 0:50: "ne-he-hell-porto" and lots more later. Bit distracting.

[@davidgould9431]

And it would have been a lot better without the pictures. Fire the director. All that gurning and pointlessly waving the arms around... I suppose these things have moved on. Stunning singing ("haitches" aside) that we rarely get nowadays. I'm just being a grumpy old man - sorry.

[@fredojoaquim4764]

Extraordinary, sublime and lovely. Maravigloso. Adoro Renata Tebaldi.

[@fredojoaquim4764]

I adore "Un Bel Di Vedremo", the famous aria by Puccini`s "Butterfly"🦋 opus.🌹 I love Ms. Renata Tebaldi, who`s voice is so exquisite.💖

[@janhughes7157]

Absolutely flawless.... Sheer perfection. Can't get any better than that 😍😍😍😍

[@guycmcd]

disagree. I was ignorant of Maria Callas except for the sordid affair with Onassis, but after having listened to many Callas' recordings, I am convinced of her greatness. what's the point in denegrating one in favor of another...this is art, this is music, this is opera...

[@vonschreck1]

incredibly beautiful

[@Lisa0529]

Reduces me to tears every time -- so tragic and yet so much beauty.

[@francoaragosta4285]

EXACTLY!

[@reneemirsky7924]

Isn't that the truth!

[@123pailin]

why talk about Callas who was doubtlessly a great Butterfly too. But Tebaldi is just an enchantment to listen to. The most beautiful, ravishing voice in record history.A very particular voice never rivalled, never equalled for the absolute beauty and richness. Brava Renata.

[@umbertodevita1844]

Voce d'angelo, un soprannome azzeccatissimo.

[@romearomeo]

Renata, sei insuperabile! La voce d'angelo

[@zs1968]

Ho imparato ad amare la lirica con i dischi della coppia Del Monaco _ Tebaldi, molti anni or sono. Questa voce d angelo mi ha sempre accompagnato durante la mia vita, che sia nei belli momenti che in quelli più tristi. Renata eterna😘💗

[@massimo35897]

Che interpretazione,che voce!!!!!!!Tebaldi,la migliore Butterfly di sempre!!!!!!!

[@lolaalbalatbesos3512]

Si, para mí también Renata Tebaldi es Batterfly.

[@davidjaraba5936]

I think Scotto is also a great butterfly

[@ritanorscia1903]

Che meraviglia!

[@ritanorscia1903]

Sono daccordo la migliore in assoluto!!!

[@aliciasarramida]

bravissima Renata!!!! sei un angelo ♥

[@fenriquealvarez]

Renata Tebaldi what a voice completely natural.

[@FranklinPUroda]

I loved this from my childhood (6/7 years old). Later, when I learned the context, I was, and am, in anguish whenever I hear it.

[@ms.annthrope415]

Opera has been described as the most difficult art and I wholeheartedly agree. Put some middle aged people on stage, wearing pancake make up, playing other races, singing and performing a piece that has been played 1,000 times, and et with all th3 artifice one can suspend disbelief and be moved by the incredible voice and music, moving grown up folks who may have seen the same opera a dozen times to tears. That's an incredible feat.

[@wuaaron808]

Try Cardi B, I am sure you will enjoy.

[@Fedeilfico]

We miss you, Renata.

[@UlrikPTA]

Sounds great - and one of the few performances I have heard where the second high B (on "-to") actually comes on the last beat of the bar where the first high B ("-spet-") is sung - as indicated in the score.

[@marcoviniciox]

Very good observation. Also we can observe that Callas sang different the 3 last notes, as comparing to the score.

[@vincensmirra7521]

Ma come si fa a mettere dislike a questo video? Ma sono sordi?

[@therezinhadealmeida8729]

a primeira ópera que eu assisti no municipal SP foi con Tebaldi e Gigli

[@nicolaswalter6996]

Hello pretty lady 💖

[@giuliobizzarri300]

Sarà stata pure “Voce D’Angelo” ma possedeva una gran voce… Potente Profonda con note e fraseggio perfetti… Formidabile

[@евгениянартова-ц3т]

Какое прекрасное, божественное исполнение!! Самая лучшая в мире Чио Чио сан!

[@ИгорьТрошков-ч9ч]

Какое счастье, что я в свое время услышал пение Ренаты Тебальди. Только что из любопытства посмотрел фрагменты премьеры "Мадам Баттерфляй" во Флоренции. Если бы мои музыкальные пристрастия формировались в нынешнее время, я бы никогда не полюбил оперу. Чтобы снять негатив, в очередной раз слушал Ренату

[@길벗-o7n]

I am touched to tears whenever I view this aria. That's why I am a big fan in S. Korea of Renata Tebaldi.

[@florianberka2279]

Tebaldi is much better singing than Callas... my opinion....respect

[@Lechatnoir3]

Ok and I like Pineapple on my pizza…
