I can't stop watching this.
I taped this performance off PBS in 1997. I taped it over VJ's video of A Christmas Story. I've watched it (and the rest of the act) dozens and dozens of times.
The other day when Bezoukhoff was over, I showed it to him-- Act IV of Puccini's Manon Lescaut with Placido Domingo and Renatta Scotto-- 1980 at the Metropolitan Opera.
Domingo is a God to me here. I cry every single time. Too bad they don't have Scotto's "sola, perdutta, abandonata" in the same clip. (Although you can see it here!) It's also divine.
Pure.
It's just pure something..
love,

Do you ever find things you did/wrote/saved/taped when you were younger, and wonder what happened to that girl?
All the time... It's strange, isn't it?
That performance gave me chills (good ones). Thanks for sharing it.
