Marvellous singing by Corelli. Regrettable about the blurred acoustics but still wonderful music to hear. I'm at a loss to understand the ridiculous heading for this video. It's a shame to make fun of the music and the artists. Very poor taste and bad judgment, in my opinion.

This is stupendous

@kasha1932 No, this is about a year before Moffo's REAL vocal breakdown, which one can hear on her 1968-1969 Met broadcasts of RIGOLETTO and LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR. Surprisingly, though, there is an extant live performance of Moffo in ROMEO ET JULIETTE from a couple of weeks before the RIGOLETTO, in which she sings VERY, VERY well, as does George Shirley as Romeo. Thank you, Jay, for sharing this gem with us - to my ears, there's great singing and acting by BOTH principals here.

Once again...This is NOT the real Anna Moffo! What year is this anyway? I'm surprised the Great tenor, Franco Corelli is singing with a small remnant of a once just as great Coloratura Soprano...the inimitable ANNA MOFFO!

stoltapaura, muchas gracias; al gran Franco Corelli se le escucha magnifico, como siempre, muy bién la hermosa Anna Moffo. Fotografía nueva para mi, muy interesante.
