- Maria Callas (in one of her last stage performances, as well as in surprisingly excellent voice) and Franco Corelli (in top form!) sing the Act 3 duet and the finale of Giacomo Puccini's Tosca: "Ah! franchigia, Floria Tosca... O dolci mani... Com'è lunga l'attesa". The conductor is Fausto Cleva. This performance took place in New York, 1965. I've cleaned and improved the sound of this in-house recording a bit, and hope you like the result.

Nobody can sing like this anymore, the voices, the emotion the best for all ages
Marvellous, Callas and Corelli together, what a triumph.
I wish I could go back in time
The sound is greatly improved (I have the CD), so Thank you! They are of course both divine and perhaps the best of all time.
I'm glad you appreciated it!
Thank you for this wonderful posting!
THIS WAS WELL PUT TOGETHER AND OBVIOUSLY REQUIRED A LOT OF WORK.
NO AMOUNT OF TWIDDLING CAN COMPENSATE FOR WHEN SHE WAS NOT ACTUALLY SINGING.....ECCEPT I NOTICE THAT CORELLI WAS MORE DISTANT SOUNDING WHENEVER HE SANG SOLO....AND THE OPPOSITE FOR MARIA.
THE ORIGINAL AS I HEARD IT WAS LOUD AND CLEAR......CORELLI YOU COULD HAVE HEARD IN BOSTON ...THE ORCHESTRA DEMONSTRATED VIVID PASSAGES THAT NORMALLY YOU WOULD NOT HAVE NOTICED...AND THE ODD NOTE RISING UP FROM MARIA AT THE CLIMAXES.
THIS RESULT IS NOTHING SHORT OF A MIRACLE.
I only wish video existed for this!! This was perfect!
Thank you!!! I love this performance so much. Callas for this stage in her career is fantastic and Corelli and Gobbi are my favorite tenor and baritone. It's perfection and you can feel the emotion in the house. Oh what it must've been like to have BEEN there. And the way her voice breaks on the word "cosi" when she finds Cavaradossi dead is heart breaking
Los Dioses de la Ópera. NADIE como ellos. JAMAS
OMG... the meeting of giants. I'd have so loved to see this in person...

This is wonderful, thank you! Hearing it in this sound quality makes us appreciate the performance so much more!
Good to know that. I'm glad my effort was worth it! Thanks for your appreciation. ;-)
If I may, I would like to make a request for the second act! Perhaps from "Ed or fra noi parliam da boni amici" to the end... Thank you :)
not my favourite opera, but the final scene is just rapture, so intense and the music is gorgeous
So kind of you. Thank you! I enjoyed the singing immensely. Three brilliant artists.

Having read all the comments, one thing is missing. CLEVA makes this all possible for these great artists.
You are absolutely right! The role of the conductors is usually (not to say always) overlooked.
She was in very good voice here but in spite of her vocal "problems" she did a great performance. She even manage to give an impresive for this time high C# at 1:36. (It supose to be a C) but when Callas is not in good voice, where others dont reach the note, she even go higher!! :p lol!!
Excusez moi il faut comprendre deux joyaux de l Opéra immortels merci a vous vraiment
What a beautiful opera and audio file. 👏 👏 👏
Who could imagine this would be Callas’ last performance in NY?
Would you share your audio file with me?
I understand the nostalgia of fans, but there is a huge hole in the middle of Callas’s voice. And the C - oh my. Corelli, who was two years older than Callas, is in his incomparable prime.
Were you making a point?
@@onigbajamo At this point desperate attempts to defend her vocalism fail. (Truth to tell, Tosca was never a good part for her on purely vocal grounds.)
@@ransomcoates546I don't know why you think anyone cares. This is from 1965, years into a sharp decline and the year she retired from the stage. We know her voice is not at her best. If we praise the performance, we praise it in the context of the decline. We don't need your shady comments. (Truth to tell, her recording of the opera is still considered the classic, after more than half a century).
@@onigbajamo Indeed the recording is, but I continue to maintain this repertoire was not good for her voice, and contributed among many other things to the state she was in in 1965.
@@ransomcoates546 She suffered from a connective tissue disease that affected her larynx amidst a myriad other health issues, no spicy hot takes rooted in unfounded speculation needed.
Is there a way to get the full recording of this?
Maria Callas = Tosca.
8:05 Corelli win
Great job, Homoclassicus!
