Maria Callas ha segnato il suo passaggio indimenticabile nell'arte lirica come nessuno lo aveva fatto prima.Grazie Maria per quello che hai fatto .Lassù in paradiso Dio avrà spesso voglia di ascoltarti...e,tu non lo deluderai certo.
Thank you for sharing this. I would just add that in your information about Callas, she returned to the Met in 1965 in Tosca opposite Franco Corelli, not Richard Tucker.
You are correct Rachel. The text is from Wiki. This is the cast listing: 19 March 1965 Tosca: New York, Metropolitan/F.Cleva Floria Tosca Maria Callas Mario Cavaradossi Franco Corelli Il barone Scarpia Tito Gobbi Cesare Angelotti Clifford Harvuot Il sagrestano Lawrence Davidson Spoletta Andrea Velis Sciarrone Russell Christopher Un pastore Stuart Fischer Un carceriere Robert Goodloe
The above is correct, as far as it goes; but the second (and final) of her two appearances in TOSCA at the Met, on March 25, 1965, WAS with Richard Tucker as Cavaradossi. She had wanted the same Cavaradossi for both performances, and Mr. Bing had intended to cast Tucker in both performances, but he was unwilling to relinquish the broadcast of AIDA (his first at the Met) on March 20, so she wound up with Corelli for one (PHENOMENAL) performance and Tucker for one.
