La più bella interpretazione che esista in discografia. Brano difficile irto di difficoltà. La Tebaldi riesce a trovare per ogni singolo momento la voce più idonea. L'arrivo inaspettato del bambino gridandogli il suo amore, la disperazione per l'abbandono. Inoltre l'orchestra avendo a disposizione una voce così eccezionale può dare alla musica quella sonorita' che chiede il Compositore. Tebaldi divina e fenomenale.
In many theatres backstages I saw a big jars with ear budds. Now I understand why they keep them in tge theatre. Poor child. Great Renata and Giaccomo!
The kid did just fine. Completing an exceptional performance of art music and lifting the Spirit. ✨ (TH-cam videos are full of peak experiences. Thank you.)
I wonder what it sounded like for that child through her chest must have been quite intense. I find it so bizarre that no such videos were made of callas? Anyone know why ?
A Traviata performance in Mexico 1952 was aired on TV at that time but it was lost. She filmed an abbreviated act 2 Tosca in 1956 with George London, and the famous full act 2 with Gobbi in 1964. That's all. She never believed in filming opera, she always declined and said opera should be experienced in the opera house. Zeffirelli tried to convince her to make a Tosca film after the 1964 studio recording but she was reluctant and it never happened.
@@Khalid7a There was apparently also a telecast of La Sonnambula (just Act One) from La Scala in 1955, but nobody seems to have preserved a kinescope or whatever they were called at that moment.
the fact that she is kinda screaming tu tu tu in his ears make me lol, he is right in her mouth like this and she is singing with full force hahahah, his ears must have hurt hahaha
How superbly directed this is (as well as sung)... I don't believe this can be from 1959... I believe color came in to the Bell Telephone Hour (which I'm guessing this was) in 1963.... Could this have been filmed then? Same time as Leontyne Price’s Trovatore arias, the Otello scene with McCracken and Merrill, and the Forza duet with Merrill and Tucker. What a season!
HATE TO DISSAPOINT YOU GUYS.. THIS WAS FILMED AT THE RAI STUDIOS ITALY IN 1959 AND COINCIDED WITH HER VERY FIRST STAGE PERFORMANCES OF BUTTERFLY. RENATA WAITED TILL SO LATE IN CARREER TO SING THIS ROLE LIVE ON STAGE BECAUSE SHE KNEW THAT POTENTIALLY IT WOULD END HER CARREER.THE ROLE OF BUTTERFLY SUNG CORRECTLY...IS ONE OF THE HEAVIEST AND MOST EMOTIONALLY VOCAL DIFGICULT PARTS IN ALL OPERA....IT HAS RUINED MORE VOICES THAN ANY OTHER OPERA. RENATA WAITED WISELY TILL SHE HAD DONE MOST OF WHAT SHE WISHED......THEN TACKLING THE GUISHA WHEN SHE WAS MORE MATURE BUT CRUCIALLY SHE STILL HAD THE VOICE TO DO JUSTICE TO THE PART.....WHICH SHE SUNG IN EUROPE AND THE AMERICAS FOR 4 YEARS...UNTIL 1962 35 PERFORMANCES IN TOTAL. OF COURSE FORTUNAELY IT DIDNT KILL RENATAS VOICE...SHE SANG FOR A FUTHER 15 YEARS.....DOING GIOCONDA AND FANCIULLA ON STAGE.....WHICH WERE EVEN MORE DIFFICULT THAN BUTTERFLY. DEBUT AT THE LICEO BARCELONA......THEN SAN CARLO.....THE MET....THEN OF ALL PLACES CUBA. .
DEAR DAVID......IF YOU KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT TEBALDI...I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THE SHEER SOUND OF THE VOICE CHANGED THROUGHOUT HER CARREER......NOT BECAUSE OF BAD TECNIQUE...BUT BECAUSE TEBALDI IS A HUMAN BEING.......AND THUS IS SUBJECT TO WAIR AND TAIR LIKE ALL FLESH AND BLOOD....HENCE NO 200 METER OLYMPIC MEDALISTS ARE 40 YEARS OLD. WITH AGE BRINGING ITS NATURAL INEVITABLE LOSSES.....AGE ALSO BRINGS GREATER EXPERIENCE AND INCREASED ARTISTRY.....I REMEMBER FOR INSTANCE ONE OF TEBALDIS LAST BOHEMES IN 1970 WITH TUCKER AT THE MET....SHE SINGS PHRASES THAT STILL AFTER 25 YEARS OF HARD USE.TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY.....PICKED OUT AND SUNG BETTER THAN IN RECORDINGS OF 1950.......THIS ONLY HAPPENS WITH TRULY GREAT SINGERS. SO I FULLY UNDERSTAND YOUR CONFUSION........ESPECCIALLY THE TU TU TU PICCOL IDDIO......BECAUSE THERE EXISTS ANOTHER ALMOST IDENTICAL VIDEO......AROUND 1960...THIS TIME ON AMERICAN TV...SHE SINGS BASICALLY THE SAME SET UP AS THE RAI RECORDING OF APROX 2 YEARS EARLIER. HER VOICE SOUNDS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT....BUT THE STANDARD IS STILL UNREACHABLE BY ANY OTHER COMPARISON. BUT FOR OUR PURPOSES THIS 2 TO 3 YEAR PERIOD IS BUT AN INSTANT IN A CAREER.....AND THIS WAS WHEN RENATA......WHO HAD ONLY PREVIOUSLY SUNG IN HER FAMOUS FIRST BUTTERFLY RECORDING OF 1951 THE ROLE.......SHE DID NOT DEBUT THE ROLE ON STAGE UNTIL AFTER THE DEATH OF HER MOTHER...ON THE 23RD OF JANUARY 1958...AT THE GRAN TEATRO DEL LICEO BARCELONA. SHE THEN SUNG IT IN NAPLES....THEN CHICAGO....YHEN NEWYORK......THEN ROME....THEN BACK TO NEWYORK FINNISHING IN FILIDELFIA ON 8TH OF MARCH 1961....A TOTAL OF 26 PERFORMANCES. OF COURSE SHE SANG UN BEL DI DURING CONCERTS RIGHT UP TO HER LAST CONCERTS IN 1976. THE VIDEO YOU DISCUSS WAS TOGETHER WITH THE WONDERFUL IN COLOUR VIDEO OF UN BEL DI...RECORDED IN ITALY......THERE WERE OTHER SIMILILAR RECORDINGS....THOUGH HER CLOTHES ARE DIFFERENT COLOURS AND THE LITTLE BOY IS ALSO DIFFERENT ...WHICH WAS RECORDED IN AMERICA ...I THINK IN 1961 APROX......BUT THATS ABOUT ALL I CAN SAY 58 TO 61 ...SOMETIMES IF I HAVNT READ MY WONERFUL BOOKS FOR A WHILE AND RELY ONLY ON MY MEMORY I MAY GET IT WRONG BY A YEAR HERE OR THERE....SHE DID SING FROM 1945 TO 1976...WHICH CONSIDERING HER REPERTOIRE WAS AMAZING.....THE MOST AMAZING THING....SO MANY IF HER LIVE SHOWS ARE ALL ON THE TH-cam......AND RIGHT TO THE LAST SHE SOUNDS REMARKABLE. HER VOICE BECAME DARKER AND MORE DRAMATIC TOWARDS THE END OF HER CAREER.......I DID CONFUSE HER FINAL PERFORMANCES .....RECENTLY I SAID THEY WERE IN CUBA....BUT THAT .WAS TRAVIATA.......AND NOT MANY PEOPLE REALISE THAT IN HER ENTIRE CARREER SHE SANG TRAVIATA ON STAGE 96 TIMES ALL OVER THE WORLD FROM 1947 TILL 1957 WHEN IN JUNE ...HER PERFOMANCES WERE IN HAVANA. IF I GOT IT WRONG PREVIOUSLY...I DO APOLOGISE...I HAVE NOW VOWED NOT TO RELY IN MY MEMORY....BUT GO TO MY BOOKS WHEN GIVING OUT INFO. IN 1958 WHEN SHE DEBUTED IN BUTTERFLY THAT YEAR SHE SANG APROX 60 PERFORMANCES OF VARIOUS OPERAS......FROM TOSCA....TO BOCANEGRA....AIDA CHENIER BUTTERFLY...ETC....ETC.... SHE WAS A REAL STAGE CREATURE. AT THE SAME TIME....EVERYVYEAR SHE PUT TIME ASSIDE TO RECORD ALMOST EVERY YEAR OF HER CARREER. AND HER VOICE IS OF SUCH CALIBER THAT SOME OF HER LAST RECORDINGS ARE MY FAVORIT.......SHE WAS TRULY REMARKABLE AND AS JOAN SUTHERLANDS HUSBAND RICHARD BONYNGE SAID ..MWHEN HE WORKED WITH HER EXTENSIVELY ON 3 OF HER LAST DECCA ALBUMS........HE SAID.....I WORSHIPED THE GROUND SHE WALKED ON!
Does anyone else realize that when the boy is closest to her it is necessary to cover his ears? Perhaps because of the strength of Tebaldi's voice.

@@vincec8218 Why? She has a nice voice but sings very "girlish"/like a student. Why bring her up here?
@@vincec8218 Why should we check out a mediocre soprano ? The world is larger than California 🙃
It is definitely because of that.
Ogni volta che la sento piango, il suo va gioca! gioca! è molto tragico, perfetto
A parer mio solo quello
This aria gets me EVERY SINGLE TIME. I have dreams about this performance.

I love Tebaldi's soprano voice.💚🦋💐
Maravilhosa operatica soprano ⭐💖🌹🌺.
She is unbeatable in this piece.
I just adore Renata´s voice in this scene! Wow, what an amazing performer of opera she was!❤
A voice like we will never hear again-the beauty and the power combined. ❤
Merveilleuse voix, elle vit vraiment son rôle.
A true artist! When I play Madama Butterfly, the natural stage movements and the elegance of Renata Tebaldi are always great lessons for me
This is a treasure.

@@operadocyes, perhaps, but with less than half the voice of Tebaldi.
Wish we could hear Pinkerton calling out for Butterfly at the end!
Spettacolare! 💗
Quel pollice all'ingiù è simbolo di una mente povera, incapace di cogliere la bellezza.

What a stupid comment!
What happened to Pinkerton's "Butterfly! Butterfly! Butterfly!" ?
Un fiume in piena
Can't beat Maria callas!
From where it comes this footage?
Where's the full recording?

@@luigicorvi1661 Right. Exactly.
Same time as the superb Un bel di. She was in superb form for both these arias.
CHAPEAU!
I found a video of another performance of this aria.
It was “made for kids”.
The scene in which Butterfly KILLS HERSELF.
*_MADE FOR KIDS!_*
🤦♀️
I like the fact the suicide is left to the imagination of the viewer.
It'll have been necesary to use the wall; otherwise the video wouldn't suit to the younger audience and couldn't have been uploaded...
No, there are loads and loads of videos where you see Butterfly stab herself.

Spero che al bambino abbiano almeno messo i tappi nelle orecchie per proteggerle.
