One forgets how really lovely she looked! As pretty as Moffo even.

Just Fabulous.. Both of them in fine fine vocal form ... and ... entirely invested in the roles and so so so Believable.. ( both).. Very exciting.!

Awesome! TY

Gorgeous. Never knew Stratas sang this- and great acting! Pippo is great here. He was always terrific in this role.

Just like Maria Callas! Maybe Teresa Stratas didn't always have agolden voice - whatever that is - but she is truly the Canadian Songbird, just as Deanna Durbin was, and boy can she act! Just like Maria Callas!

This clip is proof of how great Stratas was. Hardly who you'd think of casting as Manon, she could do anything if she put her mind to it.

Anyone know what year this was? DiStefano sounds pretty good, excepting that last high note.

I like Teresa Stratas.

Her voice was not a conventionally *beautiful* one, but it nevertheless was an arresting one that failed to captivate audiences. Stratas focused primarily on being the consummate *singing actress* -- who would sacrifice vocal beauty for something more important.
Stratas!!!!!! another consumate artist

Villazon and Natrebko can't hold a candle to Pippo divino and La Stratas. This is singing for the gods!
