Well... THIS is a Gala!!!! THESE are TRUE voices!!!! These are TRUE ARTISTS!!! Thank you, thank you!

Sadly, there are no voices like these today. Magnificent!

What a thrill to be able to hear this event. I couldn't sleep and stumbled across this, as I often do on UTUBE. Now I definitely won't sleep but for the best of reasons! A very special night!

It does not get any better then this GALA night...the GOLDEN AGE of OPERA rises into a time only described as breathless and goose bumps!❤❤❤

They were all very good!

Volevo solo prendermi un momento per esprimere il mio sincero apprezzamento per il tuo aiuto nel caricare quel vecchio programma televisivo con le leggende dell'opera. La tua generosità è stata davvero inestimabile e sono così grato per tutto il tempo e gli sforzi che hai dedicato per realizzarlo.

Montserrat and Placido , just spectacular and very beautiful 😍 🤩 👌 ❣️ ❤️ ♥️ 😍 🤩

Truly, the term “star studded” had a different meaning than it currently does. It’s an overdose of legends all at the same time. I feel giddy! If the audience had hoarse voices for days, I’d understand - I’d almost feel incapable of functioning after attending something like this!

This was the first time I saw Pavarotti on television!

Was there. Never forget that entrance of Birgit in that Rosenkavalier set. It was very emotional. She pushed us back in our seats with that voice of hers. Sat, April 22, 1972

I seem to remember seeing a youtube video of her entrance and subsequent performance (although not the full 15 minutes of music, just this final part). But I can no longer find any video showing her entrance.

Some fabulous artists on show Tucker was brilliant for his age A truly great cast

Right. He was 58 here -- just 4 years before his death in 1975.

Sehr schönes Video mit großartigen Leistungen! Die "alte" Met eben! Für mich einer der Höhepunkte, Teresa Zylis-Gara u. Franco Corelli! Ich wurde etwas wehmütig, was wäre Corelli für ein großartiger und individueller Otello geworden/gewesen! Herbert von Karajan soll ihn ja mehrfach zu dieser Rolle gedrängt haben und versucht ihn zu überreden!

Unfortunately the performances are not complete. And not all of them are here. It would be great to see the whole recording.

Love Risë Stevens.. Lincoln Center looks beautiful, even in black and white!

Rise(pronounced REEzuh) Stevens lived from 1913 to 2013. She had a long and successful career at the Met and her roles included Carmen, Octavian, Orfeo, Cherubino and Delilah.

SO EXCITING! HOW I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE WHOLE GALA.

I bought the recording of this event the minute it came out.

The first and the final performance 👏👏👏👏👏💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

Як на мене, це найкращій концерт в історії оперного мистецтва. Фінал з Великою Біргітт - найкраще з того, що взагалі буває! Це шедевр на всі часи.

I've had this album for many years Finally,it came out in cd years after this production

43:00 what an Otello he would have been.....

@@janosvas8597 hallochen, wir machen hier in Polen Fronleichnam-Prozession.... Und bei Putzen stelle ich auch Oper an. Wir hatten unlängst wieder Livestream aus der Met Madame Butterfly mit Asmik Grigorian. Ich habe diese Livestream Sache entdeckt, wirklich gut ....nächster Termin ist 11.6 Chenier aus Govent Garden. Leider aber mit Jonas Kaufmann

Anno 1971 quando Corelli era verso la fine della sua gloriosa carriera

For over 20 years olympic singing has sucked. Or most of the time. I could go into reasons for this, but I don't have time to give a dissertation about the science of singing. Thanks for this, dear man!!

My God! These were the ones I grew up with (I was 6 when this took place).....their recordings Anyway.....some of them retired in my youth but most were still singing into my adulthood...and one....is ...still....singing.....NOW (2024) PLACIDO.....Opera fans of the 21st century just don't understand that singers like Nilsson ever existed. She could bring down the house every time. It is a marvelous debate as to from 1960 to her retirement, if Nilsson was the definitive Isolde, Brunhilde, Turandot, Salome and Elektra ALL......

Bravi, bravi...!!!

Thank you!!!

thank you so muchhhhh for this

53:00 SOUNDS LIKE WE RE AT THE SUPER BOWL!

I wish I had been there.

La Peters.... mai riuscita a parlare bene l'italiano... terrible accent...but ( però) voce d'angeli !!!!!

Luciano hadn't grown his beard yet!

Ma non c'era anche Teresa Stratas con Donde lieta uscì dalla Boheme di Puccini?

@@allenjones3130 the good ol days! I think many have conditioned into the pop culture that we have today. Last year during the Kennedy Center Honors I heard from a few non opera fan who saw the Carmen/Faust excerpts and thought they were amazing.

I wonder why Maria Callas wasn't there? Was this during her period of early retirement?

Callas had not sung at the Met since 1964. Her recital tour a few years later showed she was at the end of her career.

Date?

This was the Met gala, at this point Del Monaco hadn't sung at the Met in something like 13 years.

No, Risë, and I love you dearly. The conductor of the "Manon Lescaut" Act II duet was not Molinari-Pradelli. Or am I somehow conflating my galas? The mind starts to go, especially about things no one else cares about anymore....
