NEVER BEFORE SEEN FOOTAGEโ— Franco Corelli on stage ๐ŸŽฅ VIDEO fragments & Restored sound

A few seconds/minute long videos of Francoโ€™s performances in New York from 1962-1974, including operas that we previously had no video footage of at all. ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ Huge thanks to my dear friend Olga for the find and for sharing sharing them with me so that I could present them in a way most worthy of Franco. ๐ŸŽง โ„น The original videos were all silent with one exception, so I added the appropriate sound recordings (with the original singing where the performance was identifiable and there was existing audio recording, where not, I added the one that best fitted). See more videos (mostly silent) with other stars at @Thearchivebeyondimagination : Please support my work with a price of a โ˜• coffee or an ๐ŸŽซ opera ticket so that I can publish more similar treasures from Francoโ€™s legacy: Timestamps: 00:00 Adriana Lecouvreur - 1963 or 1968 (sound: April 13, 1963) 00:25 Aida - between 1962 and 1973 (sound: May 31, 1971) 00:56 Andrea Chรฉnier with Zinka Milanov - November 17, 1962 (original sound restored) 01:27 Cavalleria rusticana with Grace Bumbry (with original sound) - likely January 1970 (maybe 1974) 02:45 Don Carlo with Raina Kabaivanska and Robert Merrill - 1970 (sound: February 14, 1970) 04:17 La fanciulla del West with Dorothy Kirsten and Anselmo Colzani - 1965 or 1966 (sound: Dec 1, 1965, Jan 8 and Mar 18, 1966) 06:11 La forza del destino with Gilda Cruz-Romo - 1972 (sound: April 14, 1965 - with the voice of Eileen Farrell) 06:21 La gioconda with Zinka Milanov - 1962 (sound: March 24, 1962) 06:46 ๐Ÿ’‹ Romรฉo et Juliette with Judith Blegen - December 7, 1974 (original sound restored) 08:27 Tosca - between 1968 and 1973 (sound: April 7, 1973) 08:45 Werther - 1971 or 1972 (sound: February 27, 1971) _________________________________________________________________ This channel serves non-profit, educational purposes only and is an extension of the website and Facebook group of the same name, where we share original articles, interviews, useful and informative documents, links, resources about Franco Corelliโ€™s life, art, career, discography, technique, etc. ๐Ÿ’– You can support the Franco Corelli Info Centerโ€™s mission here: ๐Ÿ’› Monthly memberships for regular donors (with โ€œThank youโ€œ rewards): โ„น Find out all about Corelli in the Franco Corelli Info Center: Website: Italian site: Facebook group: Facebook page: Instagram: My other channel: @giovannismansion
