Bidu Sayao at La Bohème, an unique Performance, October 2, 2011
This review is from: La Boheme (Audio CD)
Wonderful and rare Bidu Sayao voice's register in her hay days. She is the first Brazilian prima donna to bring the Metropolitan under the spell of her talent. His leading man Richard Tucker utilizes sort of mechanically his strong timbre. Saving the voice in the high peak notes he does not reach the drama tone required in well known Arias as "Che Gelida Manina". Bidu's best performance would be attained in the 1951 Season in the same Opera House. By her side, Giusepe Di Stefano, though then just a beginner, gives all the vigor of his voice and gets closer to the drama colors of the scenes intended by the author Pucccini
