Duo splendide et bouleversant avec deux grands interprétes, deux grands artistes qui ont marqué l'histoire de l'Opéra, Renata Scotto et Placido Domingo...Cette production de l'un des chef d'oeuvre du génial Puccini, est sans doute la plus belle captation en DVD de cet opéra...Décors, costumes, choeurs, et direction d'orchestre passionnée de James Levine, tout ici est sublimé...Un très beau DVD, qui devant tant de qualités, gagnerait encore a etre transféré en Blu-ray...
Mil gracias. Dos cantantes y actores tan hermosas, con tanto talento. Tengo que sonreír un poco cuando la veo extender las manos de Des Grieux sobre su corpiño y usa esa expresión de éxtasis. Ay. Dios.
I forgot to fasten my emotional seat belt before viewing this today -- big mistake... this is such a spectacular example of two fully mature singing actors -- what happens here is beyond description. :-)
In my opinion...there are two famous duos that created fireworks when they sang together. One: Domingo and Scotto Two: Pavarotti and Sutherland. DAMN No one sings like this anymore!!!
@@judyjones2475 There is a magnificent version of this duet sung by Montserrat Caballe and her husband Barnabe Marti, one of the most underrated tenors ever.
The first opera I ever saw at the Met was opening night of this production. About 45 minutes before the start, when few people had yet arrived, I was standing alone at the top of the grand staircase when a couple came up the stairs and the woman turned and smiled at me. It was Jackie Onassis with Henry Kissinger! In the first intermission I was introduced to the great bass Italo Tajo, who told us that the second act set was the most beautiful set he had ever seen. I cried like a baby at the end of Act 3. What a night!
+John Mitchell A memory to last a life time. Such a beautiful opera to start with. Today This opera is being shown right now as I write at various Cinemas around Australian cities. I cant travel so I am having a day here at this site to enjoy it from my arm chair. But to have had your experience - wow. An emotional ride throughout.
+John Mitchell There was even more excitement that night. Jackie O was followed up the staircase by a procession of famous singers coming to hear the gala opening - Sherrill Milnes, Donald MacIntyre and Richard Stillwell. There was an awful moment in Act 2 when some idiot in the balcony yelled 'Boo' in the silence after Scotto's high C in L'ora o Tirsi. That was reported in all the papers. Some claimed she gave the balcony the finger but I don't remember seeing that. And to cap it all off - when we staggered down to the subway station under the theatre, there was Kitty Carlisle waiting alone for a train. Again - what a night!
Some really ignorant people out there. Just watched another Manon Lescaut and there was a few boos there. And in my opinion, there should not have been. If I dont like what I am hearing at the opera I just dont clap the performer. Lucky you for that wonderful night.
This was a Saturday matinee. As a youngster, I took an early train from Philadelphia to NY and went to the Met for the standing room line. When tickets went on sale, I was second to last to get a ticket. The woman in front of me knew all the ins and outs of the Met. She looped me to the green room post performance. I met Scotto, Domingo, and Levine. I remember Domingo looking incredibly tired. My guide said to Scotto, "You die so beautifully." She smiled, and I followed it with, "Let's hope it happens no time soon." If looks could kill, I would not be writing this. It was a strange and eventful day that will remain in my memory like a picture on a wall. By the way, the "bravo" at the end was me. Strange but true.
No disrespect, but if you were a youngster when you saw this production live at the Met, not sure I believe it was you shouting "bravo" right after the duet concluded. The shout seems to come from an older person. Maybe you think that was you? BTW, I did see this live from the Met on PBS. Will never forget that memorable performance. They have that whole production here on youtube.
Scotto my first soprano love 1975 she blew up her small delicate voice to get more roles i dont blame her artists have to go for the gusto sometimes . shortened her career . saw her in Butterfly in Central Park OMG fabulous did not end her career on the best note but ill always love her
Thank you very much for this video. Placido and Renata are the best! Placido is so beautiful in this part of the opera and i like when he says "Nel l'occhio tuo profondo io leggo il mio destin,tutti i tesor del mondo ha il tuo labbro divin" because he says this in a very romantic way. Placido is the best tenor and Renata has a large extension vocal... In a word...they're the BEST! and superb interpretation.
Scotto began as a leggero...then becoming older her voice grew in volume and dramaticism...fantastica...after Callas one of the greatest soprano ever...
Domingo and Scotto are timeless!!! I watched this performance on the TV, and it seems like yesterday. By the way, Domingo is wonderful as a person, so simple, no star allures!!!
Just before curtain on opening night an announcement was made that Domingo had a cold and begged our indulgence, I didn't hear any problems. I'd already heard him here in Vancouver in Tosca and Massenet's Manon. It was great to see Menotti take a bow at the end - he directed. After Jackie Onassis passed me on the grand staircase I also saw Sherrill Milnes, Richard Stillwell and Donald MacIntyre come up the stairs.
@BeatricePontini, perfecto tu comentario, They take no prisioner¡Renata&Domingo estan maravillosos los dos, siempre¡,....por cierto Beatrice es un nombre precioso, tambien es un nombre 'who use to take no prisioner too'¡....Beatrice¡....hummmmm¡
Primeiro sucesso de Giacomo Puccini. Aconteceu em 1892. Verificar que Carlos Gomes um ano estreara Odaleia no mesmo estilo que viriam a serem a composições de Puccini. Aliás a Odaleia tem muito da Madame Buterflye que estrearia em 1904. A Soprano da estreia da Odaleia viria a fazer a estreia da Tosca do gênio de Bergamo em 1901.

RECORDANDO UNA BELLEZA DE DUO
2 of the best from the previous generation of singers. For great acting and great singing, I'll take Renata and Placido every time!
selon moi, l'un des plus beaux duo d'amour.
Превосходно!
Sensacional

They were wonderful. They just were Manon and des Grieu(sp).

MARAVIGLIOSI ARTISTI GLI DUE!!!!
Great acting from Scotto and Domingo.
Fantástico Dúo
Scotto began as a leggero...then becoming older her voice grew in volume and dramaticism...fantastica...after Callas one of the greatest soprano ever...
Thank you VERY much for sharing this OUTSTANDING excerpt with us!!!!!
LA Manon e'. eccezionale. stipends. meravigliosa. sconvolgente. Puccini. e' viscierale
Sensacional! 👌👏
Wonderful performance!
Sehr schön! Das ist wirklich ein Masterwerk von Puccini!
Senza parole😭❤️
Domingo and Scotto are timeless!!! I watched this performance on the TV, and it seems like yesterday. By the way, Domingo is wonderful as a person, so simple, no star allures!!!
Seductress K: I know Domingo is wonderful as a person. I wish with all my heart I could see him perform in person.
BRAVISSIMI!
Still remembering the direct from the Met! Tears of emotion then
And now! Marvelous singing and acting
Just before curtain on opening night an announcement was made that Domingo had a cold and begged our indulgence, I didn't hear any problems.

It's exciting to see such celebrities but for me it would have been enough to see Placido.
Fantástico love duet
amazing!!!
FANTASTICI.
Scotto and Domingo - No quarter given. No quarter taken. Supreme singers who take no prisoners. Awesome.
Beatrice
MAgnifica produccion¡ Levine maravilloso¡ Y los cantantes perfectos¡ No me extraña que estuviera todo vendido.
I saw Tebaldi and a tenor whose name I thankfully forgot in the mid-60s. I adore this duet.
fabulous!!!!
This is when Scotto has a voice; deliecious.
трогательно и красиво!
MAGNIFICOS PARA RECORDAR
Bello Love Duet.
Among the greatest, Renata and Placido!!!
Wow!
IMPRESSIONANTE - MI VENGONO I BRIVIDI - STUPENDI -

Thank god for the Met who believe that Opera should also be a spectacle.
Brividi
impossible de faire mieux.... c'est pour toujour...
Meravigliosi
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! (Never heard this recording before) Can't think of any near equal except the old 1950's. Bjoerling/Albanese mono recording
please give us back this full production there's nothing like it. You used to have it at least two months ago
O, tentatrice!!!
alguém tem algo a dizer sobre este dueto a não ser BRAVO!!!!
they kissed for a LONG time at the end-must of have been nice!
wow
Manon Lescaut, Atto II: “Oh, sarò la più bella!... Tu, tu, amore? Tu?”
Renata is incredibly sensuous

❤ x 1000000
Placido in his prime. Ne plus ultra
This is so intense
I add that I think she was very underrated....
¿PARA CUANDO EL OSKAR DE LA ACADEMIA USA, AL MEJOR ACTOR DEL GENERO DE LA LÍRICA, EN DÉCADAS...?
Рената Скотто , Пласидо Доминго!... 1980г...
io voglio il tuo perdono.
this is the phrase that i always use.
Plâcido, guapo, viril, totalmente en papel.
Peccato che Puccini non c'era.
this is the wonderful performance I missed in New York;. They were all solidly sold out, No way to obtain tickets.
Manon te solo brama, vieni con le tue braccia stringi Manon che t'ama!....
Grande Giacomo
Wow. Pretty racy. I prefer Callas, but she's doing a solid job. Her high notes are spot on. Great chemistry. Placido is so fine.
Isn't she beautiful!
she isn't
Lino Anzoletti
I'm sure she wouldn't want to! Lol
You have problems! That's no way to talk about somebody.
Yes he was a great tenor but he hasn't got a baritone voice. He should let others take those roles.

are they related in some way

SING, CHILDREN! Tell the STORY! THIS is how you do it.....RIVETING!
I don't think it's loud enough.
Coppia formidabile.
Domingo looks like Villazon..
+Lindo Mcgud : Villazon look like Domingo.
I think he doesn't look like him, but has similar stage and voice energy... amazing, wonderful and the most powerful energy I love!
