This had to be the one-night gala in March, 1976 at the MET in New York. I flew in and stood for the whole opera with the flu. It is etched into my memory forever. They were both so exquisite I cried buckets of tears.

Formidable! With what respect and admiration these two singing Geniuses listen to each other. And it is to be impressed with that powerful clean long "C"... Caballe's pianisimos do not cover Pavarotti's voice (in the high notes the female voice dominates the male voice), on the contrary they formed an absolutely organic duet. It is unrepeatable like concerts by Paganini or Chopin. We only have that very poor quality video, the gift of the generosity and daring of that viewer who was lucky to be present the birth of a Masterpiece!

Amazing to see this video! I was there. In my last year of law school at Columbia ... a friend snared tickets. This was a one-time special performance pairing Caballe and Pavarotti. It was astounding from beginning to end. The applause was unending. My friend and I left after 30 minutes of applause at the end, and people were still screaming and shouting. I will never forget Caballe breaking character to applaud Pavarotti's unbelievable singing of Che Gelida Manina. One of my cherished opera memories.

I too was there and am so glad to hear from the many others who remember the performance as I do. Well of course. No one there could ever forget it. More a concert version, really, and when Caballé applauded along with the audience, the enthusiasm of the crowd around us grew even louder. The performance was first announced as La Bohème, TBA. Once the leads were named, the rush to get tickets was explosive. It was as if the Met delved into the secret casting dreams of its devoted audiences.
