Dame Nellie Melba - 'Donde lieta usci' (Act 3 Puccini - La Boheme) - 1926. restored 2023

This is a live recording from the ROH Covent Garden, London
8th June 1926
Melba's farewell concert.
Orchestra conducted by Vincenzo Bellezza.
Restored 2023.
(This was a very difficult restoration due to the ever-fluctuating audio levels and extraneous noises associated with live recordings. Still, it is part of operatic history and it finds Melba in excellent voice at age 65 years.)
