  • I'm immediately fall in love with how they soar their voice together. Both blend their voice perfectly. And the end... Hahaha! Wow! What a big surprise!

  • Thank you so much for posting this! The memories it brings back! I saw Kiri as Fiordiligi at Met TWICE in April 1988. I remember those performances so vividly, especially the way her voice filled the auditorium with warm, shimmery sound on the A at the end of this duet. I will never forget how it sounded as she turned her head to the audience and hit that note. Time has been so kind to that glorious voice (and the lady who possesses it). This is terrific!

  • Kiri is always discreet, Von Stade obviously is more at home at the MET. The acoustics must be excellent at the MET to hear these singers well. I've heard both Kiri and Von Stade live in Europe and could barely hear them...Of course with microphones and recordings, it's very hard to understand the size of the voice.

  • It's lovely to see these great singers. Even though they are past their prime now, their voices are still in good shape and this was lovely to hear. Kiri sang at the LA Opera in Vanessa a few years ago and she was excellent. Both of them were in marvelous condition vocally in the 80's and 90's, truly their finest times. But this was charming.

  • My two favorites together! It doesn't get any better than this! Does anyone know if the entire gala is available on DVD yet?

  • I was able to attend this amazing Gala. I remember this duet...Wonderful

  • Very nice to see two of the greats on stage together.. Thanks

  • They were having so much fun, they nearly forgot to bow!

  • No resolution to my question received so far.

  • what was the answer to your question re the dvd of the gala? thanks. bk
