  God you girls are so out of the loop.

  Brilliant clip ….and quite a clever handling of the passaggio.
  Could teach RV a thing or two about that.

  Heard one of the writers (James Bobin) of this show on NPR last week, and they played this clip. The host asked if that was the actor’s own “operatic singing” voice and Bobin said “No, it was recorded by one of New York’s leading tenors.”

  Last week there were a couple left. Now, I am not so sure.

  You people need your ears cleaned out. This is a travesty compared to Di Stefano’s 1954 recording from La Fenice or Bergonzi at the Met in 1968.

  I was always partial to the 74 bootleg version from Ravenna by the Pav. I FELT the rejection in that one. Here, not so much.
