What an amazing talent. He makes it look so easy. And so I think "hey, I can do that". And then I try. And then the police comes to pick me up again...

[@ransomcoates546]

Most people call his greatest year 1964, when he was in his mid 40’s. A tenor like Pavarotti peaked much earlier, but Corelli had a lot of vocal issues to deal with before achieving the status of a very great singer, which he certainly was. But 1971 is late Corelli and he retired just a few years later.

[@edithrodriguezsoto1260]

Best comment ever! 😂😂😂😂

[@mbrackeva]

@@ransomcoates546 Yeah, he started singing late, over thirty. But his career as competition swimmer must have given him a headstart regarding lung capacity and breath control. Anyway, he retired when still big, which is more than can be said about others of his generation or later.

No one, each time I listen, I realize, a phenomenon like Franco Corelli is only once.

[@towmlvb3423]

I fear there will never be a better tenor than Corelli, because there is no room for any improvement on his work. This is a great example, but, subjectively, it is even more impossible to better his rendition of Celeste Aida.. ..un trono vicino al sol...

[@jacocilliers2145]

Agreed as well as his rendition of E lucevan le stelle

[@johnblasiak607]

This is a great voice which only a few come close to. No cheating just pure open throat sound with squillo that fills the theatre and overpowers the orchestra and the listener Bravo 👏

[@maggiedeveney]

John Blasiak Corelli seems so humble with his bows. When he sings the word speranza I am always thrilled. He sings it so magnificently! So glad we have this recording.

[@judithbereczky4114]

@@maggiedeveney Yes. Corelli didn't have only beautiful and powerful voice, but he was so humble, which is the most beautiful characteristic of great men. Look at Domingo: he is already 80 years old and he is not going away. He is so full of himself.

I was a teen when I would hear Peter Allen announce Franco Corelli would headline a Metropolitan Opera Saturday broadcast. My father listened to the Metropolitan Opera broadcasts throughout my childhood. I listened, but never saw him live. When I took voice lessons, my teacher would use Corelli as a model of supreme technique.

So much testosterone for a tenor!!!

[@davida6919]

That’s bc he’s a spinto tenor, which means that he has a much darker color in his timbre. Plus it sounds a little more powerful than a lyric tenor. You’ll hear a difference when you listen to Corelli and Pavarotti

[@leonardodavinci2218]

Lyric is powerfull than spinto. Spinto is hybrid color (lyric-dramatic) Lyric has shiny high range Spinto not like lyric

Corelli had great facility in his upper register interpolating a C in Poliuto, interpolating B-flats in Ernani and Norma. You cannot sing 75 Turandot's as Corelli did without have great high notes. "Baritone League? Have another drink

One of the most dramtic areas of Bel Canto, performed live with the best voices of the time lending some great passion to a very dramatic dilema ... he's betrayed his country for the woman he loves and is willing to die for it; Amneris puts everything on the line to save him if only Radames were to give up Aida and yet he does not and what's more he's happily willing to die for his crime and for Aida. It does not get better than that. Great looking performers ... Franco was what I envisioned a Radames to look like, young, tall, fit, handsome and a beautiful voice 💖💖💖
