Happy New Year from Ettore Bastianini and Giulietta Simionato

I am sure many of us will post the Fledermaus gala, but it doesn’t get better than this, even in a Fledermaus gala

Ettore B and Giulietta S singing the famous “vocal duel” from Annie Get Your Gun, with true high, long and sweet notes, and a note-holding, showboating finale reminiscent of “gli enigmi sono tre” from Turandot as sung by Corelli and Nilsson. (The latter also appears here singing ‘I could have danced all night [in Valhalla]’.)
