  • Please, folks, have a bit of perspective. Farrar had a considerable band of fan-atics at the time this was filmed -- much as Callas would have some 30 years later. Both of them were that rarity, singers who could also act. (I wish there was a film of her doing Wolf-Ferrari's light operas; but we do have the recordings.) Thanks for posting this!

  • What a splendid singer! Brava and thenk you.

  • @grenadian11 I'm a singer and performing is very important to me. Classical singers should have a great technique yes, but also great performing skills. This is a really old movie though, I don't think people payed much attention to the dancing part back in the day. It certainly doesn't work that way now. If you don't dance and there's a choreography team, let them do the job. You're right if you're trying to tell me to watch this video from a XX century perspective. Farra was great, no doubt.

  • @renuente Yeah!! That's not flamenco, that's waving your arms around! hahahaha

  • @walkingmess I thought this video was about the the opera singer Geraldine Farrar but you seem to be looking a mtv.

  • That´s the worst flamenco dance ive ever seen! Lol.. Its funny

  • It is not flamenco dancing, an erroneous documentation xD

  • I wish, there would be a movie of her MET-performance as Goosegirl in Humperdinck's "Königskinder". In the 1920s, Elsa Oehme-Förster, who created the role of the Broomstickmaker's daughter in the premiere Königskinder-Produduction at the MEt, was often compared to Geraldine. I suppose, she learned a lot by this great artist. When You hear old recordings, they even sound similar.

  • Extraodinary...Do not erase please
