Maria Callas Zaccaria Barbieri Il trovatore final scene .

I believe this is Fedora Barbieri as Azucena, because the di Luna is most definitely Rolando Panerai and the Manrico is Giuseppe di Stefano; the only recording of these arrtists with Maria Callas in IL TROVATORE is the studio recording led by Herbert von Karajan, and the Azucena there is definitely Fedora Barbieri, NOT Giulietta Simionato.

@billyguns2 Yes you are right. It is Fedora Barbieri. This is the 1956 studio recording with Karajan.

Doesn't the Trovatore recording with Callas/Simionato have Baum as Manrico? This is di Stefano, so I think Barbiere is the Azucena. Great post in any
