No doubt about it. Tebaldi had a ravishing vocal endowment and she was a wonderfully disciplined artist. No reason whatsoever to compare her and Maria Callas. Both had different attributes, sought different artistic goals, and really specialized in their own respective repertoires. Both defined a period in Italian opera that we will not likely encounter again. Brava to both of these and sublime goddesses.

No one can sing this moving aria like this lady, also the genius of Puccini is stunning

Singing and acting of the highest quality. Overwhelming.

I am immensely fortunate to have seen live performances of Madama Butterfly with Leontyne Price, Renata Scotto, Yasuko Hayashi... the list goes on. However, this video of Renata Tebaldi is astonishing. Those who fault her as an actress must see this. I was artistic director of a professional regional theater for nearly thirty years and I am here to say that Tebaldi's performance here is not only vocally ravishing, but I have never been so moved by "Un bel di vedremo" as I was watching this video. She is utterly connected with every word, every gesture, every moment. Her "meanings" are perfectly articulated throughout the aria. I have always loved Renata Tebaldi as a singer, but this video reveals a dimension and a depth to her that, frankly, I didn't know existed. Perhaps she simply needed great directors to access all that she had inside. I would do anything to get my hands on the complete opera video, if it exists. I'd appreciate any suggestions. In the meantime, thank you, Renata... this is astounding! It is art in its highest form.

Her voice, metallic, out of pitch will never reach the beauty of Tebaldi, Moffo, Caballé, Tomowa Sintow and many others. Callas was a great actress, I agree, but, opera needs singers with beatiful voices, not actresses, and Callas voice was not beautiful. When I was young I thought Callas was the number one and the only one in the planet, but, as I grew up, I realised that I was wrong. After many years of listening and going to recitals, concerts and operas, I realised what I am telling you. Callas was not the star that many people think she was. I invite you to listen carefully, without knowing who is singing.

Watching and listening to this it's easy to understand why New Yorkers rose to their feet in cheering adoration 20 years after her last performance there.

OMG! I have to say one of the best butterflies i have ever heard and seen acted splendidly... Voice soo warm and emotions very well understood. What I also very much liked is that Tebaldi actually acts like a Japanese woman...with the etiquitte and everything....the way she moves her hands, the way she walks, her restricted movement, her shy character, everything! Officially the perfect Butterfly!

Callas' art was rooted in a much earlier period (bel canto) and she had a three octave range which enabled her to undertake everything. Callas did perhaps not have the vocal velvet of Tebaldi. She was a different artist altogether. Bashing one against the other is stupid and shows an innate ignorance about music. Two different artistic approaches COMPLETELY. Both divas defined a period in Italian opera that we will not likely encounter again.

she moves the way she sings..... everything she does seems to underline the line of the voice ....focusing the legato...and never visually disturbing the feeling and concentration of the audience! Many artists....even great ones...are so fussy in their movements as to detract from the mood through distracting constantly.....waking the viewer from the state of holding their collective breath in the moment of emotion. Tebaldi....through instinct or design......was never ever guilty of this fault!.......and this in itself could ammount to at least half of her compelling addictive effect!....the other half being her personal beauty and the sheer gorgious sound of that great voice!!

So many people are moved man,trust me....for you to talk about Tebaldi as "just voice, nothing else" is so shallow and ignorant, La Tebaldi sang with great diction, feeling every word she sang, divine phrasing, volcanic strength or angelic softness according to what the score required. To you Callas is the best, and to many others too, but to me, and quite a few other people, they were equally great in their own areas and it's completely pointless and stupid to look for a virtual winner.

Tebaldi had the rare (excellent or horrible) chance to live in the time of the greatest operatic divas of all time. And yes, Callas. I'm just one more person inlove with her genius - in a way, her art was something like a parent and a teacher to me - I grew up with it, eager to always hear more. With this said, Tebaldi is a remarkable artist - the kind that, unfortunately, is nowhere around on the world stages, nor will be, considering the mediocre level both on, behing and in front of the stage. Tebaldi shouldn't be shadowed by Callas - they are two different artists, each one with a unique and distinctive artistic signature. And this rivalry should have never taken place - there aren't too much Tebaldis, nor Callases, so anybody had got to choose between them. In fact, there are no more of their kind. I'm very thankful for this remarcable rendition of hers.

Opera has been described as the most difficult art and I wholeheartedly agree. Put some middle aged people on stage, wearing pancake make up, playing other races, singing and performing a piece that has been played 1,000 times, and et with all th3 artifice one can suspend disbelief and be moved by the incredible voice and music, moving grown up folks who may have seen the same opera a dozen times to tears.

You're right, of course. For operas like Norma, Anna Bolena, Sonnambula, Medea, Iphegine, Lady Macbeth, Armida, Alceste, Lucia, and the heavy Verdi operas, Callas is the point of reference. For the operas of the early part of the Twentieth Century (those of Puccini, Cilea, Catalani, etc), Tebaldi's voice was tailor made for them. It's just that Callas was able to command a much wider more far more diversified repertoire. Callas was a demonic genius. There won't be another like her...............ever.
