This is one of Puccini's loveliest compositions. How can one NOT love Puccini, having listened to this?

She is a great soprano singer, her voice is strong, clear and vibrant on top of that she is beautiful. We need more opera in our lives.

I had heard this piece before, and having the context of the play makes it so much more interesting.

[Highinsight]

WOW! one of the Greatest tunes EVER! and soo simple... and... sung beautifully!

Marvelous. Moving. Never knew the daughter was going to jump into the Arno if she didn't get her way.

I REALLY hope this gorgeous production makes it to DVD. I realize there's probably a contract conflict of is it 3 operas vs. 1 production and different royalties.... but this is such a cool production, and it's the 100 year anniversary. There are relatively few complete 3 opera recordings of the triptych that are both beautiful and have a stellar cast.

She doesn't oversing... this is remnant of Maria Callas... very impressed 😊

Kristina is amazing, she kept and improved traditional Armenian school of opera ❤

Good performance, good conducting, a great night at the Met.

Damn, it didn't occur to me to threaten suicide if dad didn't get me what I wanted when I used to live with my parents when I was young.

1:10 lol i did not know thats what it was saying the whole time

[gautama]

Is Metropolitan so disrespectful to singers of other 2 operas of Il Trittico that they don’t post anything from dress rehearsal??

[joachimkleinhans]

welcher teil vom dritttel it trittico ist das? weil: 2 von drei teilen sind scheisse

[elian]

La génération d'avant chantait cela pendant les fêtes de familles

[adamknight]

Correct me if I'm wrong but this was composed by Puccini was it not?...

[bennielaars]

I enjoyed this, despite the many crabby comments
