[@miuzefreak]

[@judyjones2475]

Montserrat and Placido , just spectacular and very beautiful 😍 🤩 👌 ❣️ ❤️ ♥️ 😍 🤩

[@dubbelhenke854]

Wonderful. Thsnk you. Nilsson is like nothing else. What a voice, what spectacular singing, what style, class and graciousness....❤

[@jimbuxton2187]

They were all very good!

[@leonardevans8691]

What a thrill to be able to hear this event. I couldn't sleep and stumbled across this, as I often do on UTUBE. Now I definitely won't sleep but for the best of reasons! A very special night!

[@jlb9368]

Truly, the term “star studded” had a different meaning than it currently does. It’s an overdose of legends all at the same time. I feel giddy! If the audience had hoarse voices for days, I’d understand - I’d almost feel incapable of functioning after attending something like this!

[@sanfordpress8943]

Absolutely 💯 ❤❤❤

[@PinaOliva-dp1ig]

Grandi voci. Grandi artisti tutti. Ma Franco Corelli sta su un altro piano. Inarrivabile. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@pavarotti744]

don't be silly

[@crisha721]

All great singers! But sutherland and nilsson and truly the best

[@GabriellaCorelli]

Volevo solo prendermi un momento per esprimere il mio sincero apprezzamento per il tuo aiuto nel caricare quel vecchio programma televisivo con le leggende dell'opera. La tua generosità è stata davvero inestimabile e sono così grato per tutto il tempo e gli sforzi che hai dedicato per realizzarlo.

[@allenjones3130]

This was the first time I saw Pavarotti on television!

[@RBP1963]

Caballé-Domingo , greatest in Manon Lescaut duetto !!!❤❤

[@sanfordpress8943]

My beloved Caballe'

[@emitch9213]

It does not get any better then this GALA night...the GOLDEN AGE of OPERA rises into a time only described as breathless and goose bumps!❤❤❤

[@UlfilasNZ]

*Silver Age

[@sanfordpress8943]

Absolutely 💯

[@andrewwalker3312]

Some fabulous artists on show Tucker was brilliant for his age A truly great cast

[@boysings1020]

Right. He was 58 here -- just 4 years before his death in 1975.

[@joecivitano]

Great singing like this is gone and it is never coming back....

[@stevendaniel8126]

Once In A Lifetime !!

[@lospazio]

Unfortunately the performances are not complete. And not all of them are here. It would be great to see the whole recording.

[@josephcollins6033]

Thank you, forever, for this. I've always wished to see it. THIS is great singing.

[@LornaKellyZim]

I was overjoyed to come across this video of these magnificent artists. They dont make singers like this anymore. Thank you. Subscribing!

[@user-rg4by3gc9p]

Соцветие гениев!) Великолепно....какая эпоха

[@Marcel_Audubon]

Love Risë Stevens.. Lincoln Center looks beautiful, even in black and white!

[@sanfordpress8943]

Steven's. So classy. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-il5oq5df6l]

Rise(pronounced REEzuh) Stevens lived from 1913 to 2013. She had a long and successful career at the Met and her roles included Carmen, Octavian, Orfeo, Cherubino and Delilah.

[@user-ut3qt5st7n]

Найкраще , що можна почути ! Велика вдячність

[@Sabi1970]

Sehr schönes Video mit großartigen Leistungen! Die "alte" Met eben! Für mich einer der Höhepunkte, Teresa Zylis-Gara u. Franco Corelli! Ich wurde etwas wehmütig, was wäre Corelli für ein großartiger und individueller Otello geworden/gewesen! Herbert von Karajan soll ihn ja mehrfach zu dieser Rolle gedrängt haben und versucht ihn zu überreden!

[@janosvas8597]

1972 und jetzt haben wir 2024, 52 Jahre unglaublich! Großartig diese KZbin! E grazie a Domenico, saluti da Vienna

[@misanthropelife]

Joan sutherland what a voice

[@jung123456]

Was there. Never forget that entrance of Birgit in that Rosenkavalier set. It was very emotional. She pushed us back in our seats with that voice of hers. Sat, April 22, 1972

[@danawinsor1380]

You certainly were fortunate. Thank you for letting us know the date of the event.

[@Bravilor]

I seem to remember seeing a youtube video of her entrance and subsequent performance (although not the full 15 minutes of music, just this final part). But I can no longer find any video showing her entrance.

[@maestroclassico5801]

My God! These were the ones I grew up with (I was 6 when this took place).....their recordings Anyway.....some of them retired in my youth but most were still singing into my adulthood...and one....is ...still....singing.....NOW (2024) PLACIDO.....Opera fans of the 21st century just don't understand that singers like Nilsson ever existed. She could bring down the house every time. It is a marvelous debate as to from 1960 to her retirement, if Nilsson was the definitive Isolde, Brunhilde, Turandot, Salome and Elektra ALL......

[@nigelbatie7058]

The first and the final performance 👏👏👏👏👏💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

[@miuzefreak]

53:00 SOUNDS LIKE WE RE AT THE SUPER BOWL!

[@user-ir8is3wy8t]

Як на мене, це найкращій концерт в історії оперного мистецтва. Фінал з Великою Біргітт - найкраще з того, що взагалі буває! Це шедевр на всі часи.

[@meisterwue]

43:00 what an Otello he would have been.....

[@janosvas8597]

na was ich da alles entdecke. Ich bin gerade beim Staubwischen, und ich dachte mir gerade was kommt, das höre ich mir an, um nicht stumm hir heumzuhantieren. Und da sehe ich was du schriebst. Na ja wie immer absolut wahr! Lass Dir gut gehen, LG jános

[@meisterwue]

@@janosvas8597 hallochen, wir machen hier in Polen Fronleichnam-Prozession.... Und bei Putzen stelle ich auch Oper an. Wir hatten unlängst wieder Livestream aus der Met Madame Butterfly mit Asmik Grigorian. Ich habe diese Livestream Sache entdeckt, wirklich gut ....nächster Termin ist 11.6 Chenier aus Govent Garden. Leider aber mit Jonas Kaufmann

[@vittoriopreti7412]

Anno 1971 quando Corelli era verso la fine della sua gloriosa carriera

[@user-vf4kj8ww2q]

I bought the recording of this event the minute it came out.

[@sanfordpress8943]

I've had this album for many years Finally,it came out in cd years after this production

[@josephcollins6033]

For over 20 years olympic singing has sucked. Or most of the time. I could go into reasons for this, but I don't have time to give a dissertation about the science of singing. Thanks for this, dear man!!

[@verouschkafreixaspintaryvi9922]

Bravi, bravi...!!!

[@AkaiGX]

Thank you!!!

[@CarlosLopez-zc3xb]

thank you so muchhhhh for this

[@aderbalsoares1988]

I wish I had been there.

[@yurorega1548]

La Peters.... mai riuscita a parlare bene l'italiano... terrible accent...but ( però) voce d'angeli !!!!!

[@miuzefreak]

SO EXCITING! HOW I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE WHOLE GALA.

[@user-il5oq5df6l]

Luciano hadn't grown his beard yet!

[@paolodachille9395]

Ma non c'era anche Teresa Stratas con Donde lieta uscì dalla Boheme di Puccini?

[@elvis14ism]

What year ?

[@blauauge2]

WHO is the soprano next to Corelli ?

[@JacekCzarnomski-cw8ul]

Tersa Żulis - Gara

[@JacekCzarnomski-cw8ul]

Sorry. Teresa Żylis-nGara

[@renaissanceinblack]

Wow. Was this actually on television?

[@kurtgarmaker3719]

Does anyone know when ?

[@allenjones3130]

Yes, it was on TV, but not on PBS. The show was aired on a commercial network, CBS!

[@renaissanceinblack]

@@allenjones3130 the good ol days! I think many have conditioned into the pop culture that we have today. Last year during the Kennedy Center Honors I heard from a few non opera fan who saw the Carmen/Faust excerpts and thought they were amazing.

[@user-it1ig8fn1r]

Date?

[@Dianaemanuel]

I wonder why Maria Callas wasn't there? Was this during her period of early retirement?

[@sw5114]

Callas had not sung at the Met since 1964. Her recital tour a few years later showed she was at the end of her career.

[@juanaguirre4833]

What year was this?

[@johnkeene8460]

April 22, 1972

[@dodotassi]

non lo so

[@markcombrinck-hertz3649]

hi luchiaon paver;tytl

[@meisterwue]

Tebaldi ????

[@cristinamonaco3474]

Qualcosa con del Monaco?

[@PragueImport]

Mario si stava ritirando dalle scene. All'inizio degli anni '70 fece solo alcune registrazioni.

[@cristinamonaco3474]

Veramente si è ritirato nel 1975

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

This was the Met gala, at this point Del Monaco hadn't sung at the Met in something like 13 years.

[@sw5114]

Teresa Zyli Scara.. (sp!)

[@felicedisanto2927]

Tutti bravi ma manca il Divino Mario del Monaco.

[@cristinamonaco3474]

Esatto manca lui ma essendo divino non poteva avere confronti e gli altri ben contenti..

[@kenhunt278]

No, Risë, and I love you dearly. The conductor of the "Manon Lescaut" Act II duet was not Molinari-Pradelli. Or am I somehow conflating my galas? The mind starts to go, especially about things no one else cares about anymore....

[@cristinamonaco3474]

Abbastanza noiosi

[@giacomovallati3104]

Noiosi? Ma che dice? Se lei trova noiosa questa inarrivabile parata di star... quando va all'opera oggi che fa? Dorme?

[@samueljaramillo4221]
