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

Giacomo Puccini: La fanciulla del West - Act 1 duet
🇬🇧 With English subtitles and the 🇮🇹 sung Italian text on screen.
ℹ️ Recorded at the Teatro alla Scala on April 4, 1956

Minnie Falconer - Gigliola Frazzoni
Dick Johnson - Franco Corelli
Nick - Franco Ricciardi

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.
