Playlist from Corelli's 1980-1981 return appearances: [ Ссылка ]

Franco Corelli, tenor
9 July, 1981 Holmdel, New Jersey, Garden State Arts Center
(He retired in '76 but gave a couple of return concerts in '80-'81 - this was the last one)
Conductor: Alfredo Silipigni
New Jersey State Opera Orchestra(?)

French and English text provided, though you'll likely notice that he completely mixes up the lines of the two verses. His stage fright was legendary even in his active years, and years of retirement probably didn't help the matter.

Music by Jules Massenet
Libretto by Louis Gallet, Édouard Blau and Adolphe d'Ennery
based on the play of Pierre Corneille
