My nana recorded that on VHS back in 1995! And I still have it!

Grande Richard Leech

Stunning 🙏🏻

I remember the pearl clutchers making a non-scandal scandal when this production premiered. So tame now, really. (I saw Malfitano as Cio-Cio San in San Francisco the summer before the reopening of the War Memorial Opera House. She was incredible.)

Maravilloso dúo de amor, final del 1er acto.

[@zdzisawotellohorodecki3664]

Richard Leech Wysoko i lekko. Znakomicie

[@Caruso_is_king]

Leech still sounds good hear but sadly, you can already here what is starting to go wrong. I heard him at the beginning of his career - what a voice!

[@jefolson6989]

I heard him at NYCO. He was not yet who he was to become. A few years later i heard him in Chicago. The voice had doubled in size and sounded so italian. He had a great career.

[@andrewium]

Wonderful!!! Where, o where can I find a video of the complete opera? I simply have to see it!!!

Понравилась Катюнечка Малфитано.

[@richardvergara]

Ricky Leech is fucking hot.

[@MadonnaImperia]

What a tasteless production.
