First they talk about Nilsson being the best dramatic singer of the century and if her collegues sometimes asked her to shorten her high C. She mentions than the young Corelli who outsang her one time (she was really angry if I remember correctly) and then she did the same to him
Another time Placido was Calaf and they kissed each other on stage that long that the public got a little bit angry ;)
They try to dance but it's not a waltz.

She related the story of the famous Corelli "bite" he is supposed to have given her at Bing's prompting because she outsang him in the question segment of "Turandot." I believe the interviewer also mentioned during the first part of the interview that she is considered the greatest hochdramatische singer of the century.

She looks extraordinarily chinese, As Turandot should!

These two are simply extraordinary singers.... I suspect they were talking about Domingo's first Calaf & his cold... Can someone please translate what they said (or perhaps give a summary)?
