The haunting, beautiful mini-duet "Lontano, lontano lontano" in the middle of this clip, I am not ashamed to say, made me cry. Beautifully sung and acted by Gabriella Benackova and Dennis O'Neill. Seemingly simple, and yet so powerful. And a great reminder of Samuel Ramey in his pomp. To hear him wobble away in recent years is a terrible shame.
@gdsfan01 Opera singers at the level of Domingo, Ramey, Kollo are the equivalent of Olympic sportsmen and often fade quickly if they do not watch out.
Amores fugidios
laçam em torpes correntes
- frágeis desesperados.

Na mágica diabólica
qual rede indestrutível
-nasce e morre o homem.
