Loading...
Uploaded by TheGreatPerformers on May 16, 2008
Filmed by at the Casa Verdi, these old long-retired stars re-enact the scene of Tosca killing Scarpia. After that they do a bit from "Rigoletto" Act 2, scene 4.
Then the soprano Sara Scuderi listens to her old record of "Vissi d'arte" from Puccini's "Tosca" and comments.
directed by Daniel Schmid, released in 1984, this fine documentary is available on DVD now.

"Can I get up?" "Just a moment." Is that not great?
-
this brought tears to my eyes and i realized what happens to artists when they get older....their soul still urges for performance but alas.....sad reality

Deeply moving!
-
Golden age of opera!!!! Dream!!
-
To see this film and not to be filled with hope seems impossible. What great humanity.
-
Locapo at his late 70s would be a better baritone than some ones nowadays : Vratogna, Ganaidze, Frontali, Michaels Moore...

The frailties of old age await us all -- if we live long enough. These great opera stars show us how to do it with grace and dignity. Mme Scuderi wasn't the only one with a tear in her eye.

I thought at the time the documentary was first shown (1985) & still think to this day, that Sara Scuderi sang the most beautiful Vissi D'arte of all time. This documentary moved me so deeply. It's a life lesson for us all, - to remain passionate about the things we love, & to stay young at heart. If we can do this, & not allow the difficulties in life to make us discouraged, or disheartened, then we remain forever young, long after our youthful strength has deserted us..A beautiful documentary.
