God’s and Goddesses

Backstage a young Callas glances at her evolving self…..love this foto. But I wonder who is the foto on the table in front? Looks like Tebaldi or Simoniato? Why?

The eyes and voice of this man slay me. How friendly and handsome he is.

A true Verdi baritone, one of the absolute rarest. Here vivid and authentic in Verdi’s Macbeth.

The youngest shot I have ever seen of this giant. Mario Del Monaco- Here at his first Tosca I believe in Parma.

The perfect Gerard. Ettore Bastianini.

The chocolate deep voice of bass Cesare Siepi here elegant and athletic in Don Giovanni.

George London supremely expressive Boris.

Boris Christoff pensive and so real it seems as the King of Spain in Don Carlo.

Anita Cerquetti as Norma.

Renata Scotto IS butterfly.

The one and only Ebe Stignani.

and finally two new fotos of the gorgeous towering voice of Renata Tebaldi….. very Hollywoodiana in the first early still, and later fully evolved and fabulous as well, in floating Goddess style.
