Poor opera...Gone are those types of voices, Caballe, Tebaldi, Callas, Nilsson, etc. We have to be content with Fleming (ho-hum), Gheorghiu (snooze) and whatever else is thrown up there that CAN'T sing Verdi and Puccini

[periodictable47]

I can't imagine why there's no complete Trovatore with Caballe either. Leonora was a wonderful fit for her vocally and temperamentally.

Caballe at her best vocally! awesome no one can match her!

Excellent performance...you'd think it would be

on DVD by now.

This is a classic case of the conductor forgetting that opera is about the singing. The word "diva" truly fits Caballe!

bAdAbAdA13: it's not surprising they couldn't find a suitable Manrico. the only good one I've ever heard (out of about 50) was Franco Corelli. even Pavarotti sounded terrible trying to sing it.

I like the C# and short little run she does after it. it's contrasts well with the rest of the otherwise heavy performance. =)

So what was Placido Domingo at the time - the Invisible Man??
