The stars shone twice that night...



You 've read all about it at OC's.
Now it's time to listen to it with your ears.


Marcelo Alvarez singing "E lucevan le stelle" in Rome on the 14th of January. Here is how Willym describes it in a comment he left HERE.

"We had an encore in the third Act of Tosca on Sunday - if only Alvarez had been half as modest about the applause as Del Monaco is here. It developed into a circus with him begging our beloved Gianluigi to allow him an encore then running off stage to okay it. A bit of a circus and at that point all drama went out the window. But I must admit it was great fun."

hi Parsi - I know there was an encore on opening night (the 14th) but the night I was there was the 20th (the third performance for that cast) and we got one that night too. I'd be interested to see what happened on the 17th which was the other night Alvarez was the Mario. I'm not sure what night this recording was made but it was great to hear it again. You get the most fantastic stuff. I've been trying to do a post on the Tosca but things keep getting in the way. Aiming to post it on Tuesday if I can.
