Pavarotti Intermission Interview - La Bohème, 1977.

[deviljulian]

Haha - in this video it seems that the interviewer has a much more voluminous voice because Luciano is nervous...

RIP Pavarotti !!!

Thanks for this nice interview. A brilliant quality. Luciano was the best, "Rodolfo". Just as it says Dee:

He is gorgeous... adorable... charming.... perfection....Ciao :)))

I am not surprised Tony brought up Jussi he was a big fan of the Swedish tenor and Pavoratti brought up Tucker a tenor he respected also.

Could have been worse. He didn't really crack the C. Of course being the first Met telecast he would have liked to perform his best but that never happens does it? It was a fine performance otherwise - wish they could've cast someone other than Scotto for the Mimi though (sorry Scotto fans).

I always wish it had been Freni.

I bet he did too.

I appreciate Tony Randall saying he thought Pavarotti was a good actor. I think Pavarotti was often unfairly criticized for poor acting.

[Merryjest]

@ShawDAMAN A lot of people tended to criticize Pav as a poor actor because of his lack of mobility. I didn't really see their point- yes, he was impaired in movement, specially towards the end of his career, but everything else was working. I guess some people have the expectation that everybody be trim, handsome and ripped. Ugh.

@Merryjest "The interviewer?" that's Tony Randall, man!

[ShawDAMAN]

What a nice gracious interview. 'salute a tutti' hehe.

[Mooorhe]

'I'm not happy'

I wouldn't be after cracking the high note. Poor man.

[InfernoDaBaka]

Yeah, he was a professional, and a professional have to think like this if doesn't want to regress
