Enough to make one cry. Such beauty from Tebaldi and Tucker.

Two great voices! I we could see such quality on network TV these days.

Wow!! Great clip of the ending of Giordano's Andrea Chenier by Tebaldi & Tucker...the CLASSIC duo at their peak!!

Increcible. Please more Tebaldi, Tucker, and Corelli!

A historical performance for sure. Tebaldi in her wing, but Tucker even better at this particular event!

Omg please post other performances by Renata Tebaldi🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

There is another post of this on you tube by poster "General Radamas" where you see the host Ed Sullivan come out after they sang, and personally greet both singers on stage, as they accept the Audience applause, of course the old 1957 TV sound quality is about the same as it is here, two very great opera singers of all time . RIP.

Merveilleuse Renata Tebaldi, voix unique, splendide, inégalable, la plus grande soprano lyrico-spinto du monde.

What a volcanic performance! Renata Tebaldi especially is everything one could wish for as Maddalena.

Thank you! Please also post Richard Tucker singing "Nessun Dorma" on the Sullivan show.

Bravissimo 👏 🥰😍

Yes, Renata was really 6'5". Just kidding, the NYT said that Richard listed himself at 5' 8", but that he was being "optimistic". 😉 When he died at 60 of a heart attack, Leontyne Price, the soprano, gave this warm tribute: “I loved and respected Richard as a, great artist and as a warm family and religious man. He was one of the most wonderful colleagues I have ever worked with. I shall miss him.”

Yes she was vocally excellent, the voice and artist, as was tenor Ricard Tucker, she recorded her first complete opera with him in 1959 for RCA Records, ( IL. Trovatore ) and also in 1962 a terrific complete recording of Butterfly, also on the RCA label, both available on CD's.

Yes five foot nine or ten in "inches" is correct, I believe, I've stood next to Tucker many times, had dinner with him and walked down the street with him, no doubt about it, he was Five Foot Seven. @user-wx2st2yn4o

Che dire meravigliosi...

Tucker kept his voice until the end! He was a lyrico spinto. Tebaldi sounds and looks terrific. I heard her live once about ten yrs after this performance and she really shrieked in a performance of Giaconda ! I heard Tucker in concert 3 times... A truly marvelous tenor

So much freer and more passionate than the same aria televised years later with Corelli. Her later years weren't terribly kind.

@@issakelly8071a very funny episode! And I love it because Renata gets mentioned. Marty Crane on the soprano singing Gilda at the opera, “She’s no Renata Tebaldi!” Tebaldi also shows up in the lyrics of a song in Sondheim’s Merrily we Roll Along”!

I like Renata Tebaldi's voice up to a point. But really the overaccentedd rrrrrrr"s get me down. Richard Tucker fantastic as always.

Stunning. This is when opera was opera. Now it's drek with second rate singers.
