La fanciulla del West FULL 1956 audio & PHOTOS Corelli Frazzoni Gobbi Votto LIVE subtitles

Happy 103rd birthday, Franco! 💖 If you like my work in memory of Corelli, consider supporting it at 🙏 Every little helps a great deal and is much appreciated 💝 Giacomo Puccini: La fanciulla del West April 4, 1956, Teatro alla Scala, Milan 🇬🇧 With English subtitles and the 🇮🇹 sung Italian text on screen. ℹ 📷 The photos illustrating the performance are the work of Scala’s in-house photographer, Erio Piccagliani. Apart from the 1956 production, to which the audio recording belongs, I used photos from 1957 (when Frazzoni and Gobbi was joined by Mario Del Monaco as Johnson, and there were some changes to the supporting cast as well) and 1964 (when Corelli was Frazzoni’s partner again, but Rance was played by Gian Giacomo Guelfi and the supporting cast was almost completely different). So in a few scenes I had to edit the images to re-create the original scenes from 1956
