What fun this is! Ross is wonderful, particularly in the opening of “In mia man”. Amazing low register. The poor Adalgisa nearly comes to grief in the big duet, but redeems herself the second time through. Del Monaco is a pig, but what a voice.
Del Monaco had the bigger balls of his generation. It sounds! One said too Ross was one of the rare with a voice as big as his: for sure not a tiny one! Thanks again coloraturafan!
An opera production where the lead singers were aloud (by the conductor) to let their top- and closing note’s shine as long as they wanted, a ‘habid’ that is considered ‘not done’ nowedays. A pitty
Where are the sopranos, like this MAGNIFICENTLY exciting Elinor Ross? Even in her day she was second string at the MET. We are surely starved for singing like this these days!

Correction, miscalculated his birthdate, but he was in his fifties here and had been performing for about a quarter century.
MDM in his late fifties? Wow, the man was almost indestructible. Thanks for a great O in 10 M.
