Beverly Sills Michele Molese MANON ~ '77 (private film)

BEVERLY SILLS & MICHELE MOLESE - MANON. "Live" Never seen before!! There's a commercial video with Henry Price (who was a favorite of mine) - however- he was much too young for the part. MICHELE MOLESE fits the bill- there is very little available with him. YES, I know he blasted the critics "from the stage" one night. GOOD FOR HIM. Wish i had been there.

Stuartlou, to reply to your comment about Michele Molese's outburst onstge labasting the critics....... He was 100 % correct and just to back him up Beverly too was not an afficianado of the critics either. She maintained that they should be fluent in at least one foreign language and be proficient in playing a musical instrument BEFORE they could become critics. What a wise lady Beverly was indeed!

Stuart Lou, remember I said you had made my month in an earlier comment? I was so wrong!!! You have made my YEAR!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for this STUNNING piece of historic live Beverly's Manon.

Splendid from both, though it's too bad that the wobble and occasional tuning issues had begun to appear in Bev's voice. I heard her a lot in those years, and she was a fine singing actress.

Those were the glorious days of the New York City Opera. Sills, Cruz Romo, Neblet,

Wise , among sopranos, Domiongo, Carreras, Molese, Di Giuseppe, Montane, Theyard (tenors), Quilico, Fredericks, Cossa (baritones) and many others. Those days the MET had the company of fantastic young singers few meters away and many time better performances
