I remember watching this performance on PBS as a Great Performance telecast. It was the first of many during the 70s and 80s. This was one of the best casts assembled.
My. Dad was an opera lover. He always had it on the radio and also records. At the time I was only slightly interested in it. I watched this performance with my dad and of course saw and heard Pavarotti for the first time. Well I was instantly transformed. I was 21 at the time and became an instant opera fan and have been ever since. I realized what I witnessed was an incredible art form that so few people can master. It has everything. Fabulous music written by musical geniuses. Vocal athletasism coriography and amazing staging. There is lots of forms of fine musical entertainment but nothing comes close to opera in my opinion anyway.
Love of opera often is passed down from generation to generation; it leads to a family connection legacy for the love of Art, as comforting memories start to exist nestled in between the notes of the music themselves. I feel that way myself, anyway. 🎵
Pavarotti in forma strepitosa ed all'apice della sua carriera! Wixell, poi, un Marcello straordinario, cantante troppo sottovalutato. Che dire poi della Scotto e Paul Plischka.
🎶I think Scotto/Pavarotti are the defining Mimi & Rodolfo, because i saw this same Special as a child. I have never again seen those 2 roles performed that equal the Scotto/Pavarotti duet in chemistry, voice, & acting. To me, when i picture Mimi & Rodolfo….ohhh…but i see only their faces; they became ✨Master Puccini’s✨ “La Boheme”. Thank you for posting such a warm memory. 🎶 **The entire cast performing in this production here define their respective roles in this opera in the most extraordinary ways-nobody did it better than they did.**
Difficoltoso🤦🏻🤦🏻 ma quante recite l'anno eseguiva di tutto il repertorio lirico e sfruttando la sua immensa voce?😂😂😂 Stiamo facendo caso al capello, non le sembra?😅 Pavarotti è stato il Dio della vocalità lirica e mai per nessuno ci sarà dal punto di vista tecnico, presa di respiri, interpretazione e timbro fuori dal comune nel modo più assoluto... Semplicemente Pavarotti, il tenore più grande nella storia della lirica tenorile.
R.I.P Renata Scotto. You will be greatly missed. 😢
Great performance. I saw so many great operas at that time. Sadly the Met has really deteriorated.

Sir Thomas Beecham conducting Victoria De La Angeles, Jussi Beorling, Robert Merril, 1953 recording is the definitive recording by critics.
Pavarotti,al top vocale, anche se l'acuto della romanza che gelida manina,mi è parso difficoltoso.
La Scotto, straordinaria.

The role of Alcondoro was written for a buffo bass, but in this production, character tenor Andrea Velis sings the role.
