Deanna Durbin delivers a stunning rendition of "Nessun Dorma" from Puccini's opera, "Turandot". This is the only time I have ever heard a female sing this aria AND with English lyrics. Deanna never looked more beautiful than in this clip from 1943.

  • @SuperDonna888  I agree %100 !! I have just noted some the comments referred to !! and my observation is -! people sometimes reveal far more about themselves than they think when venomous and vulgar remarks are made! ., however getting back Ms Durbin ! what a singer , I have no problem with a woman singing Nessun Dorma, it is the integrity of the performance that matters as far I am concerned !! What a most beautiful woman !!

  • Beautiful. I've never heard this done by a female- and its wonderful. She is beautiful and was an amazing talent at a very young age.

    Looks like my kind of movie.

    Wish you hadn't cut off the last notes though.

    But thanks for posting this- a keeper.

  • I wish I'd NOT read the comments on this page. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, even if it's a negative one, so why respond with such vulgar and obscene comments, especially from people who are purportedly cultured. Is it necessary to drag every disagreement or contention into the gutter with such crude language? If you can speak with such venom, simply because someone has a different opinion, then humanity is doomed. What a pity YOUR remarks are now associated with this fine singer.

  • @eldrama2 Back in the day, Franchot Tone was considered a romantic leading man. He certainly didn't have the handsome ruggedness of a Clark Gable, but he was popular. I guess we have to take into consideration who the "leading man" types were at that time...and who was under contract to what studio!

  • @onebaud1 ...I agree with you..I am 74 and starting to ove opera and its singers...we have the time now yes? continue to enjoy...magi

  • @FFSray could you do any better???
