Oh, if she only agreed to play Carmen... if only... if only...

Don't you have the video when María told Di Stefano "Ciao Pippo, vete al diablo"?... It was I think in the carmen's duet...

Sorpresa assoluta ! Pure se il caro Pippo è molto penoso, ma simpatico, lma La callas, ha saputo cantare, e, forse con voce debole pare ancora grande caantante, e superiore alle ridicole Carmen di oggi, da Uria Monzon a tante altre !

I love Di Stefano `s voice

this is Callas?!

past their prime vocally but never past true emotional feel for a duet
-
Very nice!
It was a bit like watching my Italian neighbors fighting over who's going to take out the garbage.

I know some people appreciate this video but in all honesty it's doing these two great artists a disservice. This so called "come back" was nothing short of a travesty, both singers having totally lost their singing capability. Yes, it is a piece of history but I think best forgotten.
Are they both vocally a bit past their prime? Yes, BUT they still "have it" vocally in this duet AND they do it as a duet, not as two "me"'s trying to outshout each other. You can't take your eyes off them at all during the duet - THAT is artistry!!!! Thank you VERY much for sharing this treasure with us; this really IS better than many of the singers of today in their PRIME attempting to sing this music!!!!!

Both sound better than many of the current stars in their prime.
