WOW! Loved every minute of this duet. Don't often say this, but I would drop the cash for a ticket to see either one of these wonderful artists. I wish them both well in their careers.
Le premier acte de la merveilleuse Madama Butterfly, avec l'un des plus beaux duos d'amour d'opéras de tout le répertoire lyrique...Eleni Calenos est très émouvante, sa superbe voix est parfaite pour le rôle de Cio-Cio-San...Quand à son partenaire, Jonathan Burton, dans un rôle en général, un peu "sacrifié", mais musicalement admirable, est un excellent B.F. Pinkerton.
Tenor take a bow great ring and warmth to his voice and plenty of power and equally matched by a lovely voiced soprano one of the better versions I've ever heard and I'm comparing them to some of the greats
Quality rendition. Sound a bit "dodgy" tho. Pinkertons part of the duet is so beautiful you can almost forget that he's such a "rat". Burton and Calenos very good. Acting first rate too.
Very average and boring . No wonder I have to look to the great singers of the past when this type of dull performance is all that's on offer . How spoiled audiences were to hear the glorious sound of Renata Tebaldi and Franco Corelli in these roles ..
I disagree wholeheartedly. Look at the other comments, which, in my eyes, are far more accurate. The modern singers are the equal of the past "greats", and I speak as a war baby.
