Franco Corelli as Rodolfo
Mirella Freni as Mimì
from La Boheme
Rodolfo
O soave fanciulla, o dolce viso
di mite circonfuso alba lunar
in te, vivo ravviso il sogno
ch'io vorrei sempre sognar!
Mimì
Ah! tu sol comandi, amor!...
Rodolfo
Fremon già nell'anima
le dolcezze estreme,
nel bacio freme amor!
Mimì
Oh! come dolci scendono
le sue lusinghe al core...
tu sol comandi, amore!...

No, per pietà!
Rodolfo
Sei mia!
Mimì
V'aspettan gli amici...
Rodolfo
Già mi mandi via?
Mimì
Vorrei dir... ma non oso...
Rodolfo
Dì
Mimì
Se venissi con voi?
Rodolfo
Che?... Mimì?
Sarebbe così dolce restar qui.
C'è freddo fuori.
Mimì
Vi starò vicina!...
Rodolfo
E al ritorno?
Mimì
Curioso!
Rodolfo
Dammi il braccio, mia piccina.
Mimì
Obbedisco, signor!
Rodolfo
Che m'ami dì...
Mim?
Io t'amo!
Together
Amor! Amor! Amor!
Oh lovely girl, oh sweet face
bathed in the soft moonlight.
I see you in a dream
I'd dream forever!
Ah! Love, you rule alone!
Already I taste in spirit
the heights of tenderness!
Love trembles at our kiss!
How sweet his praises
enter my heart...
Love, you alone rule!
He kisses Mimi.
No, please!
She frees herself.
You're mine!
Your friends are waiting.
You send me away already?
I dare not say what I'd like...
Tell me.
If I came with you...?

What? Mimi!
It would be so fine to stay here.
Outside it's cold.
I'd be near you!
And when we come back?
Coquettishly
Who knows?
Gallantly
Give me your arm, my dear...

Your servant, sir...
Tell me you love me!

I love you.
They exit, arm in arm
Love! Love! Love!

What good colleagues. Corelli was having uncertainty about the final high C, Corelli hesitated, the conductor waited, he leaped, hit it, and cut it short, not a great night. SHE respected his plight totally and cut off her high C with him. If she was a 'prima donna' she would have held her high C for 2 or 3 hours and showed him up. Instead, she helped him cover. You don't always find this in the theater. Brava, Freni.

Corelli playing Rodolfo at nearly 50 years old (and also towards his last few years of active performing) was always interesting to me. Could he, still, deliver a good C then? Yes. But maybe, just maybe, both his age and the Fach (lyric, vs his spinto) gave him reservations.

I read somewhere where in one performance Corelli actually sang the ending of this in the harmony that Puccini wrote. Every time I have heard Corelli sing this duet he has always sang the ending not in the harmony, but the other way as he did here. Corelli was a tenor who always seemed very comfortable with his high c's perhaps more so than Pavarotti. Corelli did have an angst about him particularly if he was just a bit uncomfortable on a given night. For a man as talented as he, he at times had nerves so fragile.

It's my first time to hear franco corelli cracks even a little bit. It's kinda sad because this is such a beautiful aria. How I wish he was able to perfect tha last part. But still, considering that he's very rare to crack, my sadness is a little bit decreased. edited: the first phrases of the aria tho 🥹💖

For those who always say Freni had too small a voice to do some of the roles she did, she holds her own just fine in this!

Few sopranos could match Corelli's power in a duet!

@@Bobrogers99 listen to the recording of Turandot in the ending of In Questa Reggia. Very few tenors could overpower Birgit Nillson. Corelli did.

She did have a small voice, although with minimal volume that opera requires, which is what lacks nowadays. Mimi is a role for a lyrical soprano, that is to say a voice that doesn't need to be large, but the smallest of Puccini's actually. Mirella Freni was a good singer, but a lyrical one and she never got beyond, so roles that are not lyrical (spintos and dramatics) will show her voice to be small.

Enjoyed immensely after Bohema at Salzburg Festival 2012 which showed surprising even for our times absence of any aethetic sense and the capacity to vulgarise any beautiful store. Here they are so wonderful inspite the austere and somber setting - but the feelings go so well with the voices and appearance

Senza dire qualche cosa di peggio contro la signora Freni, ma Franco Corelli ha più potenza vocale di quella della signora Freni. Se ascoltiamo il "Vicino a te", dove lui canta con Antonietta Stella, il soprano aveva una voce potente paragonabile con Corelli, specialmente nell "INSIEME". Grandi cantanti del bel passato, tutti morti.
