It’s a shame that these Gala of Stars programs ended long ago. They were great. And here you’ve got three great American singers.

I remember the first time I heard this - I had an album from the public library and I was teaching myself to read the score while listening to the music. Had never heard the opera before. Blew me away. Played it over and over and over - not just the finale, the whole thing. Must have been in 8th grade. Still love it.

Along with the trio in the Antonia act of “Hoffmann” this is the greatest trio there is !

Love Jerry so much. So sad he is no longer with us.

Grandiose, three beautiful voices perfectly balanced for this beautiful aria.👍👍👍🌹

I would love to have heard the entire opera with these three.

I remember hearing Carol Vaness in her early days at NYCO! I know I saw her Mimi, and Leila, and I could have sworn I saw her in Traviata, but I may be mistaken!

Uh... Sembrar a una soprano no es fácil. Pero para Hadley si... Mis respetos.

0:09 I think James Morris made a mistake in the beginning first few lines, different from other versions I heard?

[@rangerbobcat]

Details of the mistake?

[@user-il5oq5df6l]

Okay, so Morris made an error. So what? He was a terrific Mephistopheles!

[@vickiw3335]

Yes!
