  • Got the DVD of this recently. Three boxes of tissues kind of performance. She is astounding, and it was well before Carreras pushed his voice into sounding ghastly

  • Non si può non piangere

  • @turandot82 Unlike so many Mimi's who sing this role Stratas actually looks and sounds like a dying consumptive. I've had pleasure of seeing both Carerras and Stratus on stage, but unfortunately not together!

  • Breathtaking acting and superb singing.The quintessential Mimi.

  • She looks like death and sounds like life... so heartbreaking. How could you not cry?

  • Stratas looks really sick in this scene, she was following Zefirelli´s indications, and the result is this. An outstanding absolutely believable performance

  • The best Mimi for all times.I have visited the great evening on the Met and I never could stop to cry.It was so deeply moving,so deeply out of the soul.The evening was full of secret magic,all the protagonists were affected.Teresa Stratas surpassed all that had previously been there.She exuded a sincerity that everyone and everything about beamed.I'll never forget.It has been deeply etched in my heart.

  • In terms of physical allure she certainly has the definitive Mimi look- frail/pale and singing with much pathos and acting so well. Carreras shows he had such a beautiful lyric tenor voice back in the late 70s. This is a very touching production. The other production with Te kanawa/Domingo is very good. Domingo is the better actor and Te Kanawa has sweeter voice but she looks like a glamazon ( and I doubt she would be allow to waste away in old Paris..with looks such as hers!!:)

  • @Turridu25 I feel exactly the same way. I hope my singing will touch people's hearts too.

  • I think strattas would blow away any hollywood actress pretty much from any time.. not my favorite voice - but the whole package is beyond belief -
