It was a magical memory that I have cherished since that night. Callas was incredible! They were both on fire. Simply wonderful. Thank you and bless you.
I had honour to know Franco Corelli and I remember still when we talk about Callas he said at she was professionist who wanted same as well from her college..but by others it was called to be difficult because she was perfectionist of her art and opera. Who is equal ?!? No body No body cant double Callas by her own words is still today the same !
Bonjour ce partage un vrai bonheur a écouter la divine Maria et notre ténor Mr Corelli deux grandes étoiles de l Opéra immortelles a jamais et qui manquent beaucoup de nos jours hélas le temps est impitoyable merci a vous qui nous les rendez tellement présent merci vraiment
Barone, la sera dopo canto' con Tucker..il suo penultimo tenore, col quale condivise il primo debutto importante all'Arena di Verona e questa penultima sua recita..nessuno dei due avrebbe immaginato lo sviluppo della loro Storia...specie lei. Comunque una Storia umana e artistica stratosferica, fuori dei canoni, molto commovente che a distanza ci coinvolge ancora oggi e stiamo qua' a parlarne. Cordiali saluti. ( in queste recite Maria era perfetta)
I saw Corelli in Tosca and that "Vittoria" that went around the world melted me. And the "E lecuvan" was like an orgasmic tight rope. Luckily I saw him 3 more times. And getting his autograph I saw how fantastically handsome he was.

Specialty Horse Training: “Orgasmic and handsome” somehow I get the feeling that his ‘horse’ attributes and not his musical were more important to you.
@@elenajha4357 Getting his autograph, my girlfriend said "Oh, Mister Corelli I loved it so." Corelli, seeing her tears face and blouse, said as he reached out to touch her wet cheeks, "I can see". Imagine, this international star so moved by a teens' tears!
I'm not quite certain what you mean by describe how their voices were live. This clip, which is in better sound than any other recording of this performance I've heard (I thought I posted a comment saying that here, but I can't seem to find it), does it better than any description I could give. But, since you asked and said please, and I enjoy writing about opera and performances I've seen, so what I write below may be more than you bargained for. I am not a professional critic and am not educated in music at all, just an opera fan, but starting with my first performance in 1961, I have written a "review" of every performance I've ever seen and they run in the thousands (not just opera, but concerts and theater, as well). So, I will share with you what I wrote about it the next day, although it doesn't so much describe the voices as the event. One caveat, I was 19 years old when I wrote this. The writing is somewhat immature and full of hyperbole, most (but not all) of which I cut out. I certainly would not write it like that today, but to paraphrase would lose the sense of immediacy. Met performance of "Tosca" - March 19, 1965 "....In the late 1950s Callas' voice developed a wobble.... This wobble became progressively worse, so much so, that in1962 she abandoned staged opera altogether to retrain her voice. She made a triumphant return to opera at Covent Garden in 1964. However, as one familiar with a tape of that performance, I know the wobble was still there. ....When the chords sounded and Callas sang out "Mario, Mario" a gasp wet out through the House. Then she came out...the audience cheered and cheered and only after many minutes was the music able to continue....Her voice was quite low, much less powerful than I expected.

There were times she was vocally so insecure as to make one wonder if she wasn't kidding. But she had that Callas tinge..... With all her vocal problems her performance was great. One may ask how an opera singer with vocal problems can give a great performance? It is simple, her conception of the role sweeps away every consideration.

@@leslieepstein4700 Thank You so much! I always ask that question of “how was the voice live (in the theater)?” to people who had the opportunity to see Callas or any other “old-school” singer. I’m 16, I didn’t have the opportunity to hear live any or my favorite singers, all of them are unfortunately dead. Again, Thank you so much for your wonderful comment!
ME TOO, Arnold Amaral! The greatest soprano and the greatest tenor of the 20th century, together in such a magnificent and important performance! They both sound so amazing!!
Igen titánok után nehéz azt a színvonalat nyújtani, amit Ők tudtak, évtizedek után is hátborzongató az élmény, ma is Ő a " TOSCA " semmi nem változott!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stavolta Mara è accolta dal pubblico del Met in modo così affettuoso che si commuove (gli applausi all’entrata sono stati molto più lunghi) e cerca di cantare al meglio e ci riesce!!
That avalanche of adoration when she enters is for all of us who never had that privilege. One is grateful for their gratitude.
Maria Callas was definitely the diva of the night. But vocally, Corelli shines like the sun.
The two greatest artists together in a masterpiece

Corelli’s voice is a clarion call. Just phenomenal and so present.
A treasure of civilization

Astonishing performance of Franco Corelli and Maria Callas . Molto bella . Mille Grazie .
Sublime!
WHAT A GREAT RELEASE WITH CLEAR SOUND, THANK YOU
The great Maria Callas in her last magnificent performance at the MET.
For the record this was her next to last Met performance. Several days later she sang Tosca opposite Tucker. I know, I was at both performances.

Люблю Тоску во веки веков.
São as vozes maravilhosas que Deus deu a Callas e a Franco Corelli para nos deixar com tantas emoções e saudades.
They were a stunning match on stage!

I love the extreme applause Callas gets for walking on stage. But that conductor is worthless, the music sounds like clip-clopping horses. Horrible!
Έχεις δίκιο, η ορχήστρα είναι ανεξέλεγκτη
しかし観客も音楽を止めてしまうのは？
Bravo Corelli Callas un po' meno.
quanto a forma vocale,d'accordo,ma l'opera è fatta di tante cose,e poi il fascino non si pesa-
