Very interesting how he reminds me of Warren and I would like to know was this a movie of the opera or was this a actual live performance? It looks like a film they made of the opera? When was it done?

[69brancaleone]

It was a movie of the opera they made in italian television. I think it was done end of 1971 beginning of 1972

Che splendida coppia: Un Bernardi grandissimo interprete ed una giovane Ricciarelli inizio carrriera con una voce fra le più "pulite" che io abbia mai potuto ascoltare.

Grazie per l'inserimento a 69brancaleone.

Onore a tuo padre ed alla oggi tanto vituperata ma indimenticabile Ricciarelli.

This is fabulous! For cinematography, it may be the best Rigoletto out there - even better than the Gobbi or Ponelle films. The singing is wonderful as well. Could you post more from it? I would especially be interested in anything featuring the divine Ricciarelli.

Ricciarelli sounds great here but THE SURPRISE was GIULIANO BERNARDI!!!!!

WHAT A SINGER1 WHAT A BEAUTIFULL VOICE!!!!! nO ONE SINGS LIKE THAT ANYMORE!

[coryisawake]

Bernardi is unique & has wonderful diction!

[expatmartin]

Just fantastic and very gripping emotionally. What a loss to the world of opera and great singing he was

[tuadolcefanciulla]

How amazing a voice. Listening to his

purely tenor arias, who would know he

was also equally such a great baritone.

I'm thrilled with this video, because Ricciarelli is one of my very favorite sopranos. Years ago, in the Zeffireli film of

Otello (with Domingo,) I thought Katia as Desdemona was an actress mouthing the part. She couldn't be THAT beautiful AND sing.

I was happily surprised that she was

indeed singing. Magnificent duet. What

a treasure.

che meraviglia e che voci.....peccato di non averli visti e sentiti dal vivo!!!!!!

[DonPaolissimo]

What a terrible tragedy & loss to the opera worls that this great voice was stilled at age 37!!! I understand that he was preparing to sing dramatic tenor roles, including Otello!!! Mr. Bernardi planned to sing tenor repertory until his late 40's, whereupon he was to have switched to baritone!

E'una registrazione del '71? Che meraviglia! La più "antica" della Ricciarelli, almeno per ora... Una voce pura, soave, elegiaca... ahimé Giuliano Bernardi non lo conoscevo fino ad oggi, una bella voce adatta a questo ruolo... se è il concorso per voci verdiane, non potevano che vincere loro due! Bravissimi!

[mongemark]

ricordo perfettamente quella sera in tv (lo vidi insieme a mio padre) mi innamorai subito della Katia (bellissima di voce e viso d'angelo)...molto bravo Bernardi...

[mongemark]

se non sbaglio questa registrazione filmata è stata realizzata nell'occasione del concorso voci verdiane del 1971 (poco dopo), vinta appunto da Bernardi e dalla Ricciarelli, che aveva già vinto altri concorsi (enalc) sotto il nome di Katiuscia R.

[gestas60323]

Incredible, a singer who can perform Rigoletto as well as Manrico, Radames, Otello...

I also like this video for showing the impressive and handsome stage presence of Mr. Bernardi.
