I'm 67 and finally I'm discovering and enjoying operas. I watched and heard "La Boheme" last evening after reading about the opera's plot on Wikipedia and also a libretto. La Boheme sure did remind me of meeting my husband Steve (may he rest in peace) in college. We both put ourselves through college. He was passionate about writing. I studied art. We had pals studying the same or other artistic things, going through the same financial hardships, and we all were supportive of one another. Steve wasn't sure if he was good enough for me, so when he got his degree, he told me goodbye and drove across the state to go home. We all celebrated at a local bar when he returned to my college town (with a "care package" for me because I ran out of food money) and we got engaged. BTW - The beautiful singing and the acting really touched my heart! I truly saw Luciano Pavarotti as a young struggling student and Mirella Freni as a dying seamstress.
I'm 60 and i just subscribed last year to the Opera. I'm currently in the process of choosing my operas for season 24-25. It should take me about an hour and a half and it's fun to do !
When i was a child my aunt took us to the opera, i am a born and raised morrocan and not many people like the opera. Me and my brother were crying by the end. Since then i went to the theater whenever there was an opera representation. But i totally forgot about the name of this one. For years i been remembering this memory, trying to find it. I googeled leonard opera and mimi opera but couldn't find it. Yesterday i saw an episode of the simpsons, the one where homer discovers he can sing lying down. And for the first time since my childhood i can finally enjoy this piece of art.
Puccini is by far my favorite opera composer, and this is his masterpiece. I saw Pavarotti and Freni do this at the Met in 1963. I've never forgotten it. This is a wonderful presentation of the opera. Bravo!
This the best version I have ever seen of this wonderful opera. Pavarotti & Freni were in their prime. Thanks for uploading this marvelous, sublime & completely outstanding production.
It’s wonderful to see these two great singers who were childhood friends, singing together. And Colline was really her husband and often worked together. This has been my favourite opera since I was a teenager and I’m now in my eighties!
I have had over 90% of my 88 years to enjoy Boheme-- I'm gratefully able to listen to hear this recording of Freni / Pavarottii every night .. sometime twice..Bravissimo Ultimate!!
Remarkable how Pavarotti's and Freni's age and experience come through and inform this interpretation of this opera that they performed so many times over the years. And their voices! Heavenly
Il finale più bello mai scritto in un'opera. Musicalmente Puccini qui raggiunge il massimo esprimibile in qualsiasi opera, come interpretazione e complessità di scrittura.
Uno dei finali più belli, sicuramente, ma definirlo "il più bello" è un po’ eccessivo secondo me: ricordo Norma, Sansone e Dalila, Aida, Falstaff, Maestri cantori di Norimberga, Cavalleria Rusticana, Faust, Andrea Chenier e molti altri. 🙂
I also love Annarita Taliento's intepretation of Musetta. I haven't find any other singer which manages to express all the complexity of this wonderful character as perfectly as she does: youth, love, desire, freedom...and in the finale, that compassion for her friend! it's just heart-breaking
There is no doubt that Pav was the greatest, his voice is just so distinct, the greatest of the greats I feel so priveliged to have heard him sing live in an opera house with not a microphone in sight many many times. Simply the best!

I saw Freni & Pavoratti in Boheme at the Met. You could tell they grew up together. They had such a great rapport. You could almost see them transport themselves back to when they, like the characters were playing, were young.
Freni, Pavarotti, ce sont 2 très grands artistes car ils jouent vraiment leur vie, ils ne sont jamais dépassés ni étrangers à ce que le chant demande à exprimer.
Credo che Dio a taluni uomini dovrebbe concedere il dono dell'immortalita' affinche' possano deliziare con la loro arte i palcoscenici delle mille generazioni dei comuni mortali. Se di tanto ci fermassimo ad ascoltare queste melodie attraverso gli autori e queste voci, e dessimo retta ai moti del cuore e dell'anima che esse generano, il mondo sarebbe gia' un meraviglioso paradiso.

I’ll be honest. I came here after watching Salvatore Fischella’s Che gelida manina class video on his student, Andrew Owens. And seriously, I have no regrets. This is pure gold. I got interested into opera music. What a beautiful performance by this perfect cast. 🖤
Bellissima edizione con regia scene costumi originali della Bohème i Puccini una Bohème molto particolare e originale allo stesso tempo omaggia chiaramente la prima assoluta di Giacomo Puccini che avvenne nel 1896 davvero una regia strepitosa del grande regista tradizionalista super Giuseppe patroni Griffi che amo tanto❤❤❤❤❤❤
I saw Freni twice onstage as Mimi. Listen to 1:16:50, the way she caresses the phrase “senza rancor.” I saw Pav onstage as well in Boheme, where his Mimi was Renata Scotto, another great artist.
Quelle magnifique Bohème ! Pour ma part une grande découverte celle d'Annarita Taliento, en sublime Musetta. Mirella Freni et Luciano Pavarotti sont juste incroyables. Très beau spectacle Merci

¡Qué maravilla! Todo te transporta, te hace olvidar lo cotidiano hasta llevarte al cielo: la música de Puccini, las voces y las interpretaciones de dos de los más grandes, Pavarotti y Freni...Gracias por subir el vídeo. Estas músicas ayudan a vivir
Nella lirica ci sono stati molti compositori .. ma come PUCCINI che sappiano toccarti il cuore con le sue melodie sono POCHI perché non ti stancano mai negli anni.
Recently, I watched a biography of Freni. As she said, she and Pavarotti had been in a same nursery in Modena, almost like twin siblings. Such an ancient friend each other. Pace!
Much Gratitude for This Capolavoro !!! Bravissimi Tutti 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌹Absolutely Magnificent Pavarotti , and Freni ❤️❤️💖💖😍😍😍😍🥲🥲🌹🌹🌺🇮🇹🌺Grazie Mille , Again 💔💔!
Me, too. My parents played it frequently after they got the record. I was 4 years old and learned some of the words and music, sang along with it many times. I cherish the words and music to this day, more than 60 years later.
We had to pick an opera to listen to in Music and then write a summary of how we liked it for online home school. This is my teacher's favorite so I decided to listen to it.
You chose well ^^. This opera must be one of the greatest ever written. Pavarotti sings so well here with so much emotion and Freni is incredible to listen to.

Difícilmente podremos ver una Boheme, igual. Interpretación inmensa Mirella Freni, L. Pavarotti ... .Gran representación , espléndidamente conducción y puesta en escena.
I'm through the first two acts. This is a great recording and a great staging. It's probably right in front of me, but I cannot see a date for this production. In my mind, I am comparing it to the von Karajan recording, ca. 1972. I want to say that the Torino production is earlier because the singing on the von Karajan seems more mature in vocal attack and dynamics. But I am not an opera expert. They are both marvelous, and, in addition to Pavarotti and Freni, this Musetta is terrific.
I love this opera and this performance. Balm for my soul. Mirella Freni is absolutely aweful soprano and a great actress as well. What honnest and deep touching moments when the two of them interact. I appreciate so much that loving and warm glances between them. What moment , and be grateful that this video exists. The interaction between artist and audience as well, straight appreciation without doubting without hesitating. Strange I cannot find kind of this warm loving quality in nowadays . Especially in this time not.
@@musettina6adina224 Wow!!! Thank you so much, it worth to know this. I think Freni was falling in love at performance of Faust, cannot help but carried away by the "devil". What a fine man, he deserves to be a honorary citizen!!! My favorite bass, maybe only Siepi be his competitor...
@@stmicci3206 Wow, that means Luciano was 60, Mirella about to turn 61 and her husband 66! And yet they are much more convincing in the roles than the young, beautiful and thin-voiced kids in Luhrmann's Broadway version. Should be a lesson to today's opera directors and impresarios who complain about the so-called 'park and bark' productions of the past!
Showcased this today as an opener for our cinema studies discussion on the film Moonstruck. Thank you posting this, it really adds texture to my lecture and syllabus.
My breath! Thank you, forever, for this. Certainly, there is some stress on many top notes for Freni and Pavarotti; such beloved artists, the finest. You will NEVER hear this sung better.
@@Kjuken69 Oh, my! Thank you, and of course, opera lovers will always differ. That is one horrible recording for me, and it is the very first one I ever heard! It is only horrible for me because I think de los Angeles is one of the worst singers ever to open a mouth. I didn't know it then and enjoyed Amara and Bjoerling, am I correct? I didn't mind de los Angeles too much because I didn't know any better, and my beloved first teacher played it for me. Years later when I knew quite a bit about the art and science of singing I heard her in some art song recordings and shivered in agony. Then I heard some of the recordings. THEN I went back and tried to listen to the Boheme. I understand that she must have been a charming and endearing performer- but that sound! Tight, so often off pitch or at least not in the center. Such a thin, ugly sound with no roundness. Oh well, You are kind to suggest this recording. I have to stay away from her. If it helps- I cannot abide Callas, either! Ha! Thanks!
Overture 00:02:33 ATTO I Che gelida manina 00:23:00 Sì, mi chiamano Mimì 00:27:48 Oh dolce fanciulla 00:34:23 ATTO II Valzer Musetta 00:50:20 ATTO III Donde lieta uscì 01:14:13 ATTO IV Ci lasceremo alla stagione dei fiori 01:22:10 01:25:55 Rodolfo e Marcello Vecchia zimarra, senti, io resto al piano 01:39:14 Sono andati? 01:43:10
23:00-27:16 The performance of Pavarotti at this time was simply frustrating, think of him in the 60s and 70s, that was really a golden voice. A great talent who could not get rid of the fate of aging in the end!
È una delle più belle récite dì Bohème che ho visto sempre interpretate da Mirella Freni ma anche quella alla Scala .nella parte di Rodolfo c’era Gianni Raimondi. Che cantanti, che interpreti!
Verissimo.Un cast prestigioso e toccante, nella Bohème del Centenario A parità di merito con quella sublime - sempre Luciano e Mirella - diretti dal Mo Carlos Kleiber., regia di Zeffirelli. Non L ho trovata su TH-cam, era stata data a NY nel 1990. Un incanto, anche quella.
@@eugeniogentili1048 Va anche detto che Pavarotti e la Freni in questa versione erano entrambi a fine carriera, nonostante ciò le voci sono ancora potenti e limpide. Di certo non è la migliore Boheme di sempre ma visti gli interpreti e la reaoizzaziine va annoverata tra le migliori.
@@marcosantoro2848 La Tebaldi e' stata a mio avviso la miglior soprano lirico spinto di sempre, ha la stella Walk of Fame a Hollywood, copertina del Time nel 1958, compare in molte classifiche internazionali nei primi 3 posti tra le migliori soprano di tutti i tempi.
Perfection. Great cast. Lucio Gallo also does a funny version of Gianni Schicchi playing the main role. As Mirella grew up with Luciano and was married to Nicolai Ghiarov this really makes it a one in a million version of a classic.
Vorrei condividere con voi quanto mi è successo : ho scommesso con mio nipote(20 anni )rapper convintissimo e ostile alla lirica.Gli ho detto : ascolta insieme a me questa Bohème, se alla fine non ti avrà commosso ti dò 100€. Quando è finita mi ha detto : Zio devo andare e mi ha lasciato 100€ sul tavolo.
Come si fa a non commuoversi di fronte a questo autentico capolavoro?...a mio avviso è l'opera più completa, commovente ed entusiasmante di tutti i tempi. Brividi.
Qué belleza de ópera, por dios....nunca me canso de escucharla...es la ópera perfecta. Sólo tiene un error; no fue escrita por Verdi jajaja Pavarotti y Freni inolvidables... Grande Puccini!! VIVA V.E.R.D.I.
Puccini orquestaba mejor y más llamativo que Verdi, mejores melodías, más capacidad para tocar el corazón, más moderno y para abordar La Boheme, ésta ópera es indudable que fue mejor compositor que si Verdi la hubiera tocado... poniendo las cosas al revés Pucinni habría fracasado en generar obras estrictas como Verdi
Is this from the famous Pavarotti-Freni televised performance from 1977? An opera friend and I watched it. The performance broke new ground for delivering opera to a wider public, and oh, how beautifully it succeeded! Sound and visual clarity were primitive by today’s standards, but just as the Saturday Met broadcasts were crucial to listeners 40 years earlier, so this tv production was to us. I prefer the Bjoeling-de Los Angeles recording, but no matter. This is what stellar casting, brilliant singing, irresistible emotion is all about. Thank you for posting. Simply wonderful.
What one person explained but may not be clear if you can't find the post, is that this production was arranged for the centennial of the premiere of the opera in 1996, using the celebrated cast that I know of from the '72 LP of the Berlin Philharmonic with Freni/Pavarotti and von Karajan conducting.
I'm 67 and finally I'm discovering and enjoying operas. I watched and heard "La Boheme" last evening after reading about the opera's plot on Wikipedia and also a libretto. La Boheme sure did remind me of meeting my husband Steve (may he rest in peace) in college. We both put ourselves through college. He was passionate about writing. I studied art.

BTW - The beautiful singing and the acting really touched my heart! I truly saw Luciano Pavarotti as a young struggling student and Mirella Freni as a dying seamstress.
What a wonderful story, thank you for sharing, Mrs. G. May Steve rest in peace. ❤

Remarkable how Pavarotti's and Freni's age and experience come through and inform this interpretation of this opera that they performed so many times over the years. And their voices! Heavenly
Il finale più bello mai scritto in un'opera.
Musicalmente Puccini qui raggiunge il massimo esprimibile in qualsiasi opera, come interpretazione e complessità di scrittura.
Uno dei finali più belli, sicuramente, ma definirlo "il più bello" è un po’ eccessivo secondo me: ricordo Norma, Sansone e Dalila, Aida, Falstaff, Maestri cantori di Norimberga, Cavalleria Rusticana, Faust, Andrea Chenier e molti altri. 🙂
I also love Annarita Taliento's intepretation of Musetta. I haven't find any other singer which manages to express all the complexity of this wonderful character as perfectly as she does: youth, love, desire, freedom...and in the finale, that compassion for her friend! it's just heart-breaking
It’s true!
100%
There is no doubt that Pav was the greatest, his voice is just so distinct, the greatest of the greats I feel so priveliged to have heard him sing live in an opera house with not a microphone in sight many many times. Simply the best!
Wonderful voices! I love singing Mimì thanks to Mirella Freni. Her interpretation of this role is still the best!

¡Qué maravilla! Todo te transporta, te hace olvidar lo cotidiano hasta llevarte al cielo: la música de Puccini, las voces y las interpretaciones de dos de los más grandes, Pavarotti y Freni...Gracias por subir el vídeo. Estas músicas ayudan a vivir
Nella lirica ci sono stati molti compositori .. ma come PUCCINI che sappiano toccarti il cuore con le sue melodie sono POCHI perché non ti stancano mai negli anni.
Recently, I watched a biography of Freni. As she said, she and Pavarotti had been in a same nursery in Modena, almost like twin siblings. Such an ancient friend each other. Pace!
Beautiful and stuning performance. Especially by Pavarotti. That was a golden era.
Luciano Pavarotti died September 6, 2007, such a loss! 😢 😢😢
The Maestro died of pancreatic cancer.
Giaccomo Puccini un fundamental en la discoteca de una fanática de la ópera como lo soy yo gracias por subir estas preciosuras
Melodramma opera sublime passione sentimento armoniosa, dolce melodiosa grandiosa infinita bellezza questo immenso geniale meraviglioso sublime composizione del geniale fantastico straordinario bravissimo compositore Giacomo Puccini
Much Gratitude for This Capolavoro !!! Bravissimi Tutti 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🌹Absolutely Magnificent Pavarotti , and Freni ❤️❤️💖💖😍😍😍😍🥲🥲🌹🌹🌺🇮🇹🌺Grazie Mille , Again 💔💔!
The first opera I ever loved.
Me too. Brings back memories watching this.
Me, too. My parents played it frequently after they got the record. I was 4 years old and learned some of the words and music, sang along with it many times. I cherish the words and music to this day, more than 60 years later.
La Boheme Turin 1996
Pavarotti/Freni
Conductor: Daniel Oren
Orchestra: Orchestra del Teatro Regio
We had to pick an opera to listen to in Music and then write a summary of how we liked it for online home school. This is my teacher's favorite so I decided to listen to it.
You chose well ^^. This opera must be one of the greatest ever written. Pavarotti sings so well here with so much emotion and Freni is incredible to listen to.
I agree! Thanks!
Boheme is wonderful but Rigoletto is the best
Pavarotti s debut role was Rodolfo in 1961, at Reggio Emilia. It was the role he held dearest to his heart, Nemorino was second best.

Difícilmente podremos ver una Boheme, igual. Interpretación inmensa Mirella Freni, L. Pavarotti ... .Gran representación , espléndidamente conducción y puesta en escena.
Puede que en algunos aspectos Villazon y Netrebko se acerquen.
I'm through the first two acts. This is a great recording and a great staging. It's probably right in front of me, but I cannot see a date for this production. In my mind, I am comparing it to the von Karajan recording, ca. 1972. I want to say that the Torino production is earlier because the singing on the von Karajan seems more mature in vocal attack and dynamics. But I am not an opera expert. They are both marvelous, and, in addition to Pavarotti and Freni, this Musetta is terrific.
Just watched this opera performed in English in London. My first ever opera and WOW, it’s gorgeous.
Favorite opera. Favorite cast.
Dit is voor mij de mooiste opera ooit .......
Up with 'The Maestro Puccini', a true italian pride! 🇮🇹
Ne kadar övünseniz azdır
My musician long time best friend brought me to this recording. I am totally thankful. Just Brilliant throughout!
I love this opera and this performance. Balm for my soul. Mirella Freni is absolutely aweful soprano and a great actress as well. What honnest and deep touching moments when the two of them interact. I appreciate so much that loving and warm glances between them.
What moment , and be grateful that this video exists. The interaction between artist and audience as well, straight appreciation without doubting without hesitating. Strange I cannot find kind of this warm loving quality in nowadays . Especially in this time not.
Great Italians in every walk of art.👏👏👏❤❤❤❤
Thanks!
Nicolai Ghiaurov is not italian, still the fine voice, maybe the finest bass...
@@道-p2e he was an honorary Italian,being married for many years with Mirella Freni, he considered Italy his home.
@@musettina6adina224 Wow!!!
Thank you so much, it worth to know this.
I think Freni was falling in love at performance of Faust, cannot help but carried away by the "devil".
What a fine man, he deserves to be a honorary citizen!!! My favorite bass, maybe only Siepi be his competitor...
Une version éblouissante et émouvante !
Tremendous professionalism,from some of the greatest operatic artists.
That flowers flying over the ending, are amazing!
The year is 1995, it's the first time that I see this production, many thanks !!! Got a subscriber !
Thank you very much!
@@stmicci3206 Wow, that means Luciano was 60, Mirella about to turn 61 and her husband 66! And yet they are much more convincing in the roles than the young, beautiful and thin-voiced kids in Luhrmann's Broadway version. Should be a lesson to today's opera directors and impresarios who complain about the so-called 'park and bark' productions of the past!
Showcased this today as an opener for our cinema studies discussion on the film Moonstruck. Thank you posting this, it really adds texture to my lecture and syllabus.
My breath! Thank you, forever, for this. Certainly, there is some stress on many top notes for Freni and Pavarotti; such beloved artists, the finest. You will NEVER hear this sung better.
Yes i have the 1956 version with De Los Angeles and Björling are better!
@@Kjuken69 Oh, my! Thank you, and of course, opera lovers will always differ. That is one horrible recording for me, and it is the very first one I ever heard! It is only horrible for me because I think de los Angeles is one of the worst singers ever to open a mouth. I didn't know it then and enjoyed Amara and Bjoerling, am I correct? I didn't mind de los Angeles too much because I didn't know any better, and my beloved first teacher played it for me. Years later when I knew quite a bit about the art and science of singing I heard her in some art song recordings and shivered in agony. Then I heard some of the recordings. THEN I went back and tried to listen to the Boheme. I understand that she must have been a charming and endearing performer- but that sound! Tight, so often off pitch or at least not in the center. Such a thin, ugly sound with no roundness. Oh well, You are kind to suggest this recording. I have to stay away from her. If it helps- I cannot abide Callas, either! Ha! Thanks!

The best version of this magnificent opera. Pavarotti, Freni and others great singers. I had the cd, and after I saw this video. Amazing
My mother played the LPs often, particularly around Christmas.
Very nice singiñĝ
le chef d oeuvre pur
Grazie infinite per quello che ci avete dato.Eccezionali!
this is my favorite opera
I was a super (supernumerary) in this 7 years ago, and we're doing it again in a month. One of the best first operas to introduce people to.

이 DVD 발매되었나요? 잘안찾아지네요~ 안나리타 정말 매력적이네요
E non c'è nulla da fare, Boheme era scritta per loro.
Riposate in pace Mimi e Rodolfo
23:00-27:16 The performance of Pavarotti at this time was simply frustrating, think of him in the 60s and 70s, that was really a golden voice. A great talent who could not get rid of the fate of aging in the end!
I'm glad I saw them perform this in 1968 when they were still young.
È una delle più belle récite dì Bohème che ho visto sempre interpretate da Mirella Freni ma anche quella alla Scala .nella parte di Rodolfo c’era Gianni Raimondi. Che cantanti, che interpreti!
Che Boheme fantastica!!!
Verissimo.Un cast prestigioso e toccante, nella Bohème del Centenario A parità di merito con quella sublime - sempre Luciano e Mirella - diretti dal Mo Carlos Kleiber., regia di Zeffirelli. Non L ho trovata su TH-cam, era stata data a NY nel 1990. Un incanto, anche quella.
Ci sono state voci migliori, x esempio Tebaldi Bjorling th-cam.com/video/EZJqR_8uE9s/w-d-xo.html
@@eugeniogentili1048 Va anche detto che Pavarotti e la Freni in questa versione erano entrambi a fine carriera, nonostante ciò le voci sono ancora potenti e limpide. Di certo non è la migliore Boheme di sempre ma visti gli interpreti e la reaoizzaziine va annoverata tra le migliori.
@@marcosantoro2848 La Tebaldi e' stata a mio avviso la miglior soprano lirico spinto di sempre, ha la stella Walk of Fame a Hollywood, copertina del Time nel 1958, compare in molte classifiche internazionali nei primi 3 posti tra le migliori soprano di tutti i tempi.
favola boheme originale come piace a me!!!
MARAVILHOSO. Apenas faltou a tradução em Português. Muito Obrigada. Muito tocante.

Pavarotti and Mirella Freni! This must be a definitive version!
this should be called "THE" classic.
omg what a cast!
Ci lascerem la stagion dei fior. Rest in peace Pavarotti and Freni!
Perfection. Great cast. Lucio Gallo also does a funny version of Gianni Schicchi playing the main role. As Mirella grew up with Luciano and was married to Nicolai Ghiarov this really makes it a one in a million version of a classic.
Amazing. Just amazing. Especially the notes they both hit and sustain at the end of o soave fanciulla.
Vorrei condividere con voi quanto mi è successo : ho scommesso con mio nipote(20 anni )rapper convintissimo e ostile alla lirica.Gli ho detto : ascolta insieme a me questa Bohème, se alla fine non ti avrà commosso ti dò 100€. Quando è finita mi ha detto : Zio devo andare e mi ha lasciato 100€ sul tavolo.
Ahahah bellissimo🤣
Wow that’s awesome !
La producion malísima
Se supone que so ñn unosieryos de hambre y son embargo parecen señoritos
Come si fa a non commuoversi di fronte a questo autentico capolavoro?...a mio avviso è l'opera più completa, commovente ed entusiasmante di tutti i tempi. Brividi.
Ti credo. Chi è ostile alla lirica lo è soltanto perchè non la conosce
Qué belleza de ópera, por dios....nunca me canso de escucharla...es la ópera perfecta.
Sólo tiene un error; no fue escrita por Verdi jajaja
Pavarotti y Freni inolvidables...
Grande Puccini!!
VIVA V.E.R.D.I.
Honestly, this opera has some WONDERFUL arias and musical themes, but the story itself (LIBRETTO if you like) disgusts me a lot...
In Nn
@
Puccini orquestaba mejor y más llamativo que Verdi, mejores melodías, más capacidad para tocar el corazón, más moderno y para abordar La Boheme, ésta ópera es indudable que fue mejor compositor que si Verdi la hubiera tocado... poniendo las cosas al revés Pucinni habría fracasado en generar obras estrictas como Verdi
Is this from the famous Pavarotti-Freni televised performance from 1977? An opera friend and I watched it. The performance broke new ground for delivering opera to a wider public, and oh, how beautifully it succeeded! Sound and visual clarity were primitive by today’s standards, but just as the Saturday Met broadcasts were crucial to listeners 40 years earlier, so this tv production was to us. I prefer the Bjoeling-de Los Angeles recording, but no matter. This is what stellar casting, brilliant singing, irresistible emotion is all about. Thank you for posting. Simply wonderful.
No this is waaay later late 1989…and it was Renata Scotto in the 1977 one not Freni.
Prayers with Italy and the rest of the world
Thank you very much
What one person explained but may not be clear if you can't find the post, is that this production was arranged for the centennial of the premiere of the opera in 1996, using the celebrated cast that I know of from the '72 LP of the Berlin Philharmonic with Freni/Pavarotti and von Karajan conducting.
