Very cool to see this! Thank you for posting. I learned this duet a while back, singing the contralto part. And the actresses are indeed ravishing, but as a singer it's pretty peculiar to watch their relaxed porcelain necks and their tiny waisted silhouettes barely move while they "sing." Those high notes can't be achieved without some physical effort, and even the most accomplished singers have to breathe! Gorgeous, though, for sure.
Do you realize that the actresses aren't actually singing but the voices are dubbed? I completely agree with your comment, however, it seems that sung musical numbers are always dubbed in films.
@@danawinsor1380 Yes, indeed-that’s what I meant. The actresses are not singing while they’re being filmed, and no doubt those are the voices of trained singers who are dubbed in rather than the voices of those women we see on the screen.
It's not really about boy meeting girl, it's about obsession with gambling and sacrificing that girl to get a secret from her grandmother to win the game which he didn't win and killed himself and Old Countess died of a heart attack, he didn't really kill her, just pulled out an unloaded gun to scare her. it's about deceit and disloyalty. About human imperfections.
Трагедия этой истории в борьбе алчности с любовью. Больная душа Германа жаждет богатства, а светлая, человеческая его суть ищет любви. Но это конфликт оперный, придуман Чайковским, а у Пушкина, на чей сюжет написана опера, всё почти наоборот.
Нет! Елена Образцова в то время ещё не была звездой. Озвучивала немолодая солистка Большого театра, кажется, Аверина... Нет, не помню фамилию! Надо посмотреть, у меня есть этот фильм. Голос старческий, так не подходит молодой актрисе И.Губановой, играющей Полину. Зато Лизу поёт молодая Тамара Милашкина - главная соперница Галины Вишневской.
Как бесподобно прекрасны актрисы в этом фильме!
Полина - Ирина Губанова, Лиза - Ольга Красина (поёт Тамара Милашкина).

Božanstvrna izvedba.
pięknie nastrojony fortepian choć na filmie a' la szpinet, który miał brzmienie podobnie do klawesynu obowiązującego w 18w. piękna gra i śpiew obu pań
В театре тоже не использовался клавесин, у Чайковского написано для фортепиано.

Thank you for your insightful comment. Dramas are not always about a central love interest.
