In Verdi's day, people got wasted with style.

What if.........Lil Jon were white and had been born in the 1700's.

I prefer this drinking music over modern drinking music.

I hope everyone realises that this isn't actual footage from the 18th century.

That is all.

@lucy0loves0music Teresa Stratas was cast for the film version partly because her physical build made the story plausible. It is difficult to play the part of a character dying of consumption when you are the shape of most opera singers. The last act in the film version was quite controversial when in the final scenes Teresa is acting the dying role, synchronised with her pre-recorded version of that most powerful aria.

@andytanviolin Showing the film in the cinema caused a major problem. Cinema runs at 24fps and the film was shot at 25fps. (for television) Version intended for the cinema had a track that had been digitally frequency changed, quite unusual in the early eighties. Having two versions (most people are unaware) has led to many mistakes over subsequent years.

Placido looks like a young Ian Mackellan here, from the scarlet pimpernell
