I saw this when a very young Sam Ramey took over the role in the midseventies. His performance and the staging at The New York City Opera absolutely blew me away. I have not seen anything so wonderful since. For the opening and closing the chorus was in various parts of the theater and voices came from all around us. In the finale, Ramey did three backwards somersaults when cast out of heaven. It was so surprising that a young woman sitting in front of us fell out of her chair.

When I used to watch this many years ago on VHS with my then little kids, they were mesmerized by this performance. They called it the 'Devil Opera'. Had it on VHS, DVD, and currently Blu-ray. One of my favorites our of almost 100 operas I have on DVD or Blu-ray. Unfortunately, Ramey was the last great Bass we've had so far. Hopefully there's another in the pipeline to eventually do honor to this, one of the real showpieces for a bass.

Truly grand opera at it,s finest
Quel opéra, quelle musique, quel Boïto!
Once again we observe the mastery of opera composers...it is humanly impossible to position yourself in a role of Satan without being admired by the voice and power of this baritone. A true polarity that must be extremely difficult (if not impossible) to create without special sensitivity. The heavenly choir frames this scene and makes it out of this world...
Esto es un decorado escénico como Dios manda, y no las porquerías del Liceu. Magnífico todo: voces, coro, decorados, director, todo. En USA está ahora el auténtico espíritu de la ópera y en Europa la decadencia en manos de directores de escena "vedettes" (en todos los sentidos)

jordiboma ¡Anda yaaaa.!.Y no digas estupideces. El público se nutre de gente de todo el mundo. En EU2, son como los Simpsons. Europa, lo ha mamado.EU2, NO. Lo sabe de oído.
Chef d'oeuvre! Obra-Prima! Thank you Master Carsen!
LO MÁXIMO , SAMUEL RAMEY, CORO, MÚSICA TODO.
Meraviglioso Sam!
Я под огромным впечатлением от этой оперы! Рэми просто дьявольски божественен! Лучше него, по моему мнению, никто эту партию не исполняет и не проживает. Глядя на этого Мефистофеля, прекрасно понимаешь КАК продают душу! Браво!
Impresionante la interpretación de ""Samuel Ramey"".!!
Lirica meravigliosa.
Extraordinario final.
Espectacular escena final..¡¡¡
Lo mejor de esta opera es el prologo en el cielo. Es conmovedor.
QUE GRAN FINAL MARAVILLOSO.-
Man I would’ve been happy just being an Angel back there
Супер! Arrigo Boito is great!
Most impressive! Great music!
Molto bello💓
Magistral Ramey.
Ramey is the greatest! Amazing!!
Qué música tan sublime!!!! Emocionante!!!!
GRANDE RAMEY per UN GRANDE BOITO!
The Mario Del Monaco version, MDM sounds like an Apocalyptic angel
danke, daß ich die Einmaligkeit dieser Szene erkennen kann
sometimes I think this finale beats Turandot. then I listen to Turandot and love it too. I love them both!!!

Except that Turadot's finale is fake. Puccini wasn't able to five the opera such a improbable finale. After all, Turandot is more adept of blood than "love"
La musica italiana al suo Top

Unfortunately for me, I never saw Treigle.......did see Ramey, very good, and Jerome Hines, but it is a shame we do not have Treigle on video........I heard he owed this role from many who had seen him in this role......great opera.
