Rosanna Carteri "Sì. Mi chiamano Mimì" on The Ed Sullivan Show

[@lorenagaleazzi5026]

Voce straordinaria!!! Voce d'altri tempi, tempi d'oro della lirica. Un saluto dalla sua bella Verona.

[@AnaLuiza-rl9ee]

Concordo

[@mariadonatamusto948]

Eccezionale. Il timbro, la tecnica! Che Artista! ❤

[@canticumcordis7538]

C’è tutto in questa voce: passione, tecnica, fraseggio, appoggio, legato e potrei continuare … che bell’esempio di vero bel canto. 🎵❤️🎵

[@Orfeus80]

Heartfelt singing and her Boheme recording is one of the best!!

[@DanMontesTenor]

Carteri retired at 36, in her prime and the height of her career, to care for her family. Although she was competing during a time of some of the greatest sopranos of the 20th century, she probably could've held her own.

[@fabriziogarzi9892]

Danny Montes, no, non poteva reggere il confronto con Callas, Tebaldi, Price, De los Angeles..e consimili. Una buona voce ma limitata e comunque non una fuoriclasse.

[@ginopietracupa4305]

When Rosanna Carteri retired (in 1966) she definitely was NOT at the height of her career. By 1966 the sopranos were Leontyne Price, Caballe, Joan Sutherland , Nilsson . (by 1966 Carteri did not sing in any important theater in the world, Carteri highest point of her career had been between 1951 and 1957)

[@rowley555]

@@DanMontesTenor I agree with you. The MET wanted her but she chose her family. Good on her IMHO. Her La Rondine, Traviata and her Desdemona also on KZbin shows that she was a wonderful artist and could have competed with the most famous of them all. Not limited at all.

[@manuelfarinelli3839]

Beautiful, beautiful....

[@massimocassano2545]

La Carteri è adorabile. Qualsiasi cosa le sento cantare emoziona. E tanto. Più di alcune più famose della sua epoca.

[@tenorschofield]

BRAVISSIMA!!!

[@HellasItalia4]

Fenomeno artistico. Grazia, facilita, suoni belli sfogati, "maschili" - la copertura degli acuti sono una rarita per le donne!- bellezza del suono, pronuncia rara, veramente una cantante che puo essere inserita nella lista dei miti del 20simo secolo.

[@lutandomhlalase4416]

This is why she's one favourite lyric sopranos

[@giovannifortunato6118]

Carteri soprano immenso. Ritiratasi troppo presto dalla scena. Mi vengono a mente i sublimi duetti di Desdemona con Del Monaco in Otello.

[@sergiovanelli7420]

Che meraviglia. .indimenticabile...

[@FranciscoFerrerGaliana1930]

Simplemente maravillosa.!!

[@TomElvisSmith]

This may have been Rosanna's only appearance on the Ed Sullivan show. More rare footage! Thank you! I hope you will post all of Jan Peerce's appearances, not just the opera pieces but the popular songs too (thank you again for "Serenade"). Also James Melton singing his ballad version of the song "Beyond the Sea" in 1951. :)

[@로보티니콜라스]

Those dislikes are from people who can't bare the fact that she was 24 here, LOL!

[@blackmonster4708]

but she looks 50

[@fabriziogarzi9892]

@@blackmonster4708 , ben altre anno cantato a 22 anni...

[@anna-mariakawatzopoulos7049]

Women in this era, especially sigers used to lie about their age..... To me, she doesn't seem to be 24! :)

You can deceive yourself all you want.

[@kraus3591]

Bravaaaaaaaaaaaa !!

[@edwardamosbrandwein3583]

To think she was only 24 here!
