This production is amazing. Samuel Ramey is fantastic (as always), but the rest of the cast is brilliant, as well! Million thanks for sharing this!

who's the girl singing glitter and be gay

28:28 mama mia, i've never heard a basso don giovanni, sounds weird but whatever, nice married couple freni & ghiarov.

Even though this is the partial broadcast of "Gala of Stars 1984", I sure do wish someone will ever upload the Complete Broadcast of Gala of Stars 1984", which first ever aired as part of the conclusion of PBS' Festival '84 Membership Pledge Drive on most PBS stations including my local station: KPBS in San Diego, California, Circa Sunday March 18th, 1984!! TV Worth Watching is TV Worth Paying For!!

I've been waiting for a very, very long time to see these extracts which are not on the DG DVD. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

poor sound

Nucci = tenore nascosto

Marcello Giordani died too young. Met him and his gorgeous Swedish wife in SF.

WOW the lineup of opera stars and musical legends is unparalleled to this 2024 date.

damn i wish i had kept my old VHS collection of opera and concert tapes.

Gwyneth Jones had her groupies, i'm not one. Her wobbles made me sea sick.

5 months before Adler's death.

Talk about luxury casting with Von Stade and Amara!

A VERY fine production! I especially liked Frosch . . . the actor was a marvel!

Hofmann‘s 2 most suitable Wagner roles were, IMO, Lohengrin & Siegmund but he was no real Heldentenor. He is still in reasonably good form in these selections.

Never seen this! I knew the Gala was larger than published on dvd. Thank you so much!

Performing arts on PBS in 2024? Not so much.

The great Cleo Laine in a definitive version of one of my favorite songs of all: BILL from SHOWBOAT. Well into her 90s now & one of the treasurable artists in my experience. I was fortunate, indeed, to see & hear her LIVE twice.

OMG! Kathleen Battle singing marvelously 😍

It’s interesting to revisit these gems 40 years later. Almost everyone sounds wonderful. Some critics and opera mavens came down hard on Jess Thomas and Anna Moffo - ok, they’re both way past their prime, but Thomas manages a creditable Siegmund, and holds the ending high-A where most tenors die. Moffo still has her famous creamy tone and manages her high notes well. Carol Neblett didn’t have a great time as Senta but, other than a few squeezed top notes, she handled a difficult assignment well. A lot of people freaked out when James Morris sang Man of La Mancha, and he even said in an interview that Bonynge at first refused to conduct “this shit.” But he’s fantastic, and the audience certainly agreed.

Bellissimo. Dovrebbero pubblicarlo integralmente, con il dvd già distribuito.

My dream cast that never happen is Corelli, Ghiaurov, Bastianini, Caballe, Verrett.

Pav and Sills!!!!!!!!!!! Omg

Soviero ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Caballe es una cantante soberbia, sublime y grandísima Elizabetha!!! Todos auténticas leyendas de la historia de la opera. Un elenco de ensueño.

love to see the tremendous reaction of the audience, no wonder, the voices were unbelievable.

Évidemment c'est du Domingo. Très intelligent dans l'approche. Très musical dans l'interprétation vocale et scènique. Ce n'est pas le type de voix qu'on attend dans ce rôle. Il a une voix lyrique, avec un beau timbre chaleureux et ensoleillé. Pour Othello, on demande une voix de ténor dramatique aux contours percutants et rocailleux parfois. Même si ce rôle exige une voix au timbre versatile et une palette d'expressions contrastées, le volume sonore et la projection de l'aigu complètent les caractéristiques incontournables du véritable fort ténor ou ténor dramatique que ce rôle exige. On pense à Del Monaco, Jon Vickers ou même plus récemment à Giuseppe Giacomini qui possédaient la voix Othello.

Tatiana always brilliant

Did Lucine Amara ever participate in these Galas? Or perhaps any of the concerts in San Francisco? If so could they be uploaded as well?

Renata Scotto walked out Lady Macbeth and gave a powerful presentation! Very generous and well connected chest voice. I would have used in a few other places. Who are the other singers assisting?

A dream-like production. So sad to think that many of these wonderful artists are no longer of this world.

A dream-like production. Entrancing voices.

A dream-like production.

❤ good explanation of the pieces and the performers identify.

I find it interesting that Caballe sang the Capuletti aria, as she has in the past sung the aria from Adelson e Salvini, same melody, but in a lower key, because the lead in the opera was a mezzo. This is a wonderful treat

What happened to some of these young singers? Very good voices overall

😊

😊

Ruth Ann does beautiful ornaments in the Lucia aria.

Was there a glitch in Hoffman trio? Seems there was something during Jean Krafts first entrance

Was that Claudette Peterson in the Candide segment at the very end

Shirley Jones turned in a magnificent rendition of "Till There Was You".

Tut mir leid, aber Weikl war kein Komödiant. Hier musste ein Eberhard Waechter her ...

They could have done without Miss Piggy.

✨💖💐MONTSI💐💖✨ Thanks for this miracle video 🙏🏻❤️

Whatever faults he had or supposedly had as a person, James Levine ranks alongside Toscanini, Ormandy, Bernstein, Karajan, Stokowski and Bonynge as one of the greatest conductors of all time.

Pues a mí me encantó y la disfruté muchísimo, todos tan jóvenes y con la voz en su apogeo, gracias por compartir 😊
