Virginia Zeani visited her homeland of Romania in May 2011 where she was decorated by King Mikhail with "Nihil Sine Deo" his highest award. Celebrations were held in Bucharest and several other major cities and TVR Romania filmed a long interview from which these archive excerpts are taken.

An immensely precious historic footage which shows Mme Zeani as I have never seen her before, and the song is HAUNTINGLY MOVING! At last have I heard her sing in her native language!

Wonderful footage of the Rossi-Lemenis together, and the Romanian song was sublimely touching. Thank you for this lovely posting.
