How I adore them both! What a Night at the Opera! I couldn't take my eyes off the screen for an hour. Bravi!

Baltsa is amazing and in great vocal shape. Carreras is her best partner ever. What precious moment Buenos Aires had! ❤

I am so weary of reading the pedestrian criticism leveled at Carreras and his supposed decline. Of course, it is valid to give considered criticism, but too rarely do I read recognition of this man's enormous talent, dedication, and humanitarianism. The juggernaut he helped develop, that of The Three Tenors, blew open the doors to an art form many people had not thought belonged to them. He has lived a life of art, put it in service to others, and remains indefatigable. He is one of the world's great tenors.

Say whatever you want but to have seen their Carmen in full production was one of the greatest experiences of my life!

No longer can find singers sing like them. What a shame!

Hermoso recuerdos para mi de este maravilloso concierto en el TEATRO COLÓN de Buenos Aires !!

Excelso Carreras en su momento de esplendor y con un variado repertorio.

Grandes cantates

Baltsa is one of the greatest operatic artists in history, period. divine.

She’s like a lightning bolt when she’s on the stage……I really miss that sort of “athleticism” in opera.

Extraordinario Carreras en esa época

I am so glad I am not an expert and can just enjoy this. Most of the audience cannot be experts either given the warmth of the applause

Love them both!

What a great couple! Bravoooooooooooooooooooo

Semplice: Carreras ERA Don José. Anche altri tenori, in questo ruolo, mi piacciono e mi convincono, ma nessuno quanto lui.

My favorite opera couple

They were great together. Love their operas!

Carreras is fantastic here AND Baltsa is in good voice and certainly acts her parts. Thanks for uploading this concert, which I have never seen before.

Even if the Carmen duet is truncated there is such a feeling of Don Jose and Carmen being in the grip of something neither of them can control. My favourite is the Cavalleria where Baltsa is an overwhelming Santuzza - one of her best roles- Carreras sings Turridu with passion and such a sense of line. They may have had better days vocally than this, but their vocal and physical engagement combined is worth the price of a ticket alone! Thank you for posting this.

Whatever people may think of these two singers, myself included, they have the vocal-power to sing w / o microphones ! _Today, w / many singers, that ain't so ..._ _( The audience is sooo appreciative ! They had a good time. )_

Thanks for giving me the chance to experience this precious moment which I can never go back to. Sad to be born in 1990s, I'm craving to find and feel all the treasures of the past. With their full-hearted voice, I can feel my heart beating fiercely. Thanks for uploading the video. It wakes this indescribable passion, emotional sensation and inspiration in my mind.

Excelente apresentação !!!❤

I saw them both at Convent Garden in Samson and Delilah which was amazing

I love Agnes Baltsa

Carreras molto bravo , bellissima voce declinata troppo presto per i vari repertori nn adatti

Grande tenor!

Ce ar fi de spus de către un profan la adresa acestor URIASI decat să mă rog să nu se termine și să-i aud întruna.

There is something wrong with this recording. Surely the violins didn't sound that squeaky?

So strange, how they don't look at each other while duetting.

¿Estaba ya enfermo de leucemia en este concierto ? Imposible. A José Carreras le diagnosticaron leucemia en el verano del 1987 en París cuando estaba grabando una película sobre la ópera La Boheme. Este concierto es anterior.

Most of this rep is beyond. Watch the Carmen with the two of them. By then there was so little vibrancy in his voice that he had to shake his torso. I heard him in 77 in a Boheme. What honey! What sincere emotion. After that it went downhill and not all because of his illness.

That might be because she would be using her whole voice, developed and with balanced registers, instead of using one type of sound production over the other.

Marcela castaño And it is such a nice role for the soprano - she can perform in bare feet and out of highheeled shoes.

Berganza y Baltsa....y basta!

Not that Carreras is bad, but he is always trying to embellish the rose! Baltsa draws out the nastier sides of her characters. Casting them together is a mismatch. As MadonnaImperia remarked: They don't look at each other! Carreras is a ham - and Baltsa is mustard. But something has happened between them - I don't know what, but it ended badly..... A weird concert!!! ....the aria from Cenerentolla could indicate, that Baltsa is ready to bury the hatchet. It is repertoire, so it can be arranged quickly .... ... the last duet: Pardon my French: He "supplies" and she answeres "...Toute c'est fini, jamais te mentie...." ... "entre nous tu se fidie..." " .,,, je ne decerne pas..." As far, as I can hear he is putting the aria upside down according to her. He is being melodramatic about it!
