The complete opera:    • La fanciulla del West FULL 1956 audio...  

"Ch'ella mi creda libero e lontano" Johnson's Act 3 aria from Giacomo Puccini's La fanciulla del West
🇬🇧 With English subtitles and the 🇮🇹 sung Italian text on screen.
ℹ️ Recorded at the Teatro alla Scala on April 4, 1956

Dick Johnson - Franco Corelli
Jack Rance - Tito Gobbi
Sonora - Enzo Sordello

Conductor: Antonino Votto
Chorus master: Norberto Mola
Stage director: Mario Frigerio
Sets and costumes: Nicola Benois

ℹ 📷 The photos illustrating the performance are the work of Scala's in-house photographer, Erio Piccagliani. Apart from the 1956 production, to which the audio recording belongs, I also used photos from 1957 and 1964, that's why there are some differences in costumes and setting.
