So many of Andrea's duet partners are new to me. I listened to more of Lesley Garrett, I will continue to look for her. Outstanding voice and style!raf
I agree with the previous gentleman's comment Lesley is remarkable along with lovely Andrea Bocelli what a privilege to have 2 wonderful opera singers ☺💟💋
Thanks for posting. It's a while since I last watched this, beautiful duet. Lesley is a very lively lady and she IS the cat who got the cream here! Lucky lady indeed.
Magic! She is certainly the best operatic soprano actually born in this country, and in addition she has a visual appeal and acting ability that puts her in a class of her own.
I noticed no one is complaining that Bocelli doesn't sing the end of this duet in harmony the way Puccini wrote it. This is the second version of this duet with Bocelli on UA-cam and both times he sings the end the other way, with a nice diminuendo on the A.
@123Citty It wasn't a special, it was a regular weekly series on BBC2 that ran from 1998 to 2001. I have uploaded most of it in these clips - there are about 60 of them.
AWWW yay! they kiss...hey is there anyone that can send me the whole BBC special because i cant find the rest of it!?PLZZ AND THANK YOU I agree this is beautiful
This should have ten million views.....and wow - THAT kiss!
She is a national treasure and should be made a Dame.
I can never decide if Puccini loved or hated soprano's...what a note to start on lol.
Love these two together singing this, thanks for sharing 💖💖💖
Two BEAUTIFUL Singers.

She gives me shivers down the spine and a swelling heart. She is something else!

FAB_U_LOUS Lesley and Andrea, one of my favourite opera duets, XXXXX
It's nice to hear him singing with a real opera singer for a change. This was his first appearance on British TV and no-one knew he was blind.
Her reaction is priceless. Love this opera! His sense of place and timing is incredible!
Thanx again!!raf

You said it MrSidTaylor, our very own beautiful soprano. Beautiful in more than looks and voice too, Our UK Super Star xxxxxx
How lucky is she!!! 💖 💖 💖
andrea bocelli is not only a very fine tenor but also a very handsome guy
Fabulous and a kiss 💋
Awesome! Incredible! Smashing! BRAVI!
Apart from her singing, she is the best actress ever in opera, and the only one to show any visual personality.
Yes, she does not just sing the pieces, she lives them. This is why she is at her best on television where she can be see in close-up.

Lesley Garret has always been the best ''Home Grown '' soprano and I just despise her detractors.
Also if you see the next song he sang on this show, "The Flower Song", he has a cute response as to why he chose this aria to sing...
It has been 11 years but do you remember what was the cute response as I am unable to find the subsequent pairing
There is only one Lesley Garrett.
AWWW yay! they kiss...hey is there anyone that can send me the whole BBC special because i cant find the rest of it!?PLZZ AND THANK YOU
I agree this is beautiful
Manifique!
123city I think you may find the programmes on bbc iPlayer.
No, they aren't
Pucchini La Boheme Album
Try turning the sound down and just watching her. I don't know of anyone else in opera who projects like that.
The harp player did a double take:).
He was very prepared...did you see him lick his lips right before the kiss. Don't want dry mouth for the kiss!
@DnRMIller Thats very true...you got me there.Hey no chapstick so a little spit is a quick fix lol
@RunningTopMale
I Know I Think He wasnt prepared because He Look Kind Of Surprised After As If He Was In Shock!!ahah
ANDREA WAS ONLY 40 YR'S OLD HERE
4.25 her voice doesnt vibrate as a Soprano its Only the shout
