DO YOU REMEMBER THIS EXTRAORDINARY VIDEO? People often say that the great baritone Tito Gobbi didn’t have a good vocal technique, but that he was more of a fantastic and charismatic actor. In this rare rendition of “Vecchia zimarra, senti” from Puccini’s La Bohème, it’s quite clear that this was not the case. His technique, musicality, expression, and mastery are brought to their highest and most admirable point #opera #TitoGobbi #puccini #operasinger #operasingersofinstagram #classicalmusic #op
