So happy that you’re getting to hear your work again. You had an unbelievable career and there are more tapes you’ll want to hear. Working on one right now that was a huge event at the time. Still is. Hopefully this Sunday.

In 1967, the members of the Metropolitan Opera gave Vespri in a single performance in Newport, a concert version. The performance here was from the company's first staged version of the opera.

Oooo! In my opinion one of the top 3 greatest and best Grand Operas of the 19th Century, or any Century, for that matter. Here given fine treatment, which makes the annoying cuts in the score all the more painful. Verdi should never be cut! Thank you. Love, love, love this!!!!

I LOVE seeing and hearing these names from long ago. I used to sit on Saturdays and hear Peter Allen say those names; they were important to me. 😘😘

I’ve never seen Vespri in the theater! I’ve seen more than half of Verdi’s published operas onstage, so I’d enjoy seeing this before they close the box! I will be attending the Verdi Festival in Parma this Fall, and will see La battaglia di Legnano, among others. Very unusual. As for Caballe and Gedda, I did see them both onstage, but only on rare occasions.
