This opera is cryng for a performance at the MET--its a masterpiece. They need to stop trotting out the same old, same old (ie Carmen, Figaro, Traviata, Magic Flute) and bring in other master works!!!

Dessay ? It's a joke !
-
What's also remarkable is how clear the words come through, even with mediocre sound quality. Makes me wish there were more operas done in English at the City Opera or the Met.

Yes; for fans of Beverly this is a pleasure to watch; a rarity and an opera that doesn't get produced anymore

For fans of Sills, this is a real treasure...I know she had sung the Queen in Coq D'Or but had never seen any footage of it till now...she's wonderful! Great to see this...she was a remarkable soprano..R.I.P. Beverly Sills

Hooray for Tito Capobianco! What a wonderful production. It amazes me that I have had the chance to work with such a true genius.

A superb production with Sills radiant singing. It is too bad that a good quality dub is not available from master tapes, if they still exist. The original was broadcast in shades of green, but modern processing might bring out the fantastic colors. But it is possible to dramatically clean up the B&W video and sound, and I will post a good version soon in stereo.
ABSOLUTELY.
Sills could act her ASS off.
