Placido Domingo & Mirela Freni - Vieni la sera 

This is my favourite version of Butterfly! Thank you for posting this :-)

I play this a lot. Simply divine. Thanks for sharing!

It's true, this is the best version on DVD of Butterfly, she's Divina.

Heavenly beauty !!!

Maravillosa Butterfly!!

Thanks for upload this

MIRELLA FRENI=PERFECT BUTTERFLY

He recorded it in 1988 with Mirella Freni. It's a great recording. But he sounds very tired throughout the entire thing, but it's still amazing.

muy sensusl esta aria

wish she had done this on stage, but she felt it would have harmed her voice

Karajan's view on this opera is that of an endless melody, a symphony in one movement. BUT we're talking opera and Puccini himself wanted his music to be taken from the fast side. However effectic some parts may be - Karajan is all wrong ;-)

Did Carreras ever do Pinkerton or is that a silly question? I love his voice but not sure if it could handle this

its so funny..this pairing. listen to the reality in her and the practiced conventional holdback in him..she had somthing real to offer you pinkerton/domingo..but you stayed in your safety zone. keep safe and stay away from the danger zone

No offence, but Placido Domingo looks like Carth Onasi from KOTOR.

good lord..those TEETH!

insomma come attori... che pena....recuperano xo con la voce :)

sl poche sono al livello di maria..... e questa no di certo
