While thanking Paolo for this wonderful upload, I must say that this is not the first opera produced and telecast by RAI, this being "Il barbiere di Siviglia" transmitted on April 23rd 1954, at least according to Gualerzi/Roscioni, "50 anni di opera lirica alla RAI".

Cheers

Maurizio

Hello all. > I think this film has never been shared on OS. It was the first opera produced by Italian television, March 3, 1956 was recorded the soundtrack and in a single day, March 13, the television recording with just two cameras, then transmitted by RAI. > > **Maria Callas top of his greatness and his intelligence, who asked her when she sang "La fanciulla del West", he replied that for that work was already Gigliola Frazzoni.** > > The video and audio are good, considering it's a very old movie. I preferred not to convert my original DVD not to degrade the quality. > > Special thanks to the moderators and all members of that OS with their passion and spent much time do we hear, see, know so much beautiful music. > Greetings > Paolo > > > > Giacomo Puccini > LA FANCIULLA DEL WEST > > Minnie -- Gigliola Frazzoni > Dick Johnson -- Ken Neate > Jack Rance -- Mario Petri > Nick -- Mario Carlin > Ashby -- Ugo Novelli > Sonoroa -- Dino Mantovani > Trin -- Athos Cesarini > Sid -- Arrigo Cattelani > Bello -- Nestore Catalani > Harry -- Gaspare Pace > Joe -- Tomaso Soley > Happy -- Egidio Casolari > Larkens -- Bruno Cioni > Billy Jackrabbit -- Cristiano Dalamangas > Wowkle -- Miti Musesti Pace > Jake Wallace -- Guido Mazzini > Jose Castro -- Giuliano Ferrein > Un postiglione -- Guglielmo Fazzini > > Orchestra e Coro della RAI di Milano > Direttore -- Alfredo Simonetto > > Regia -- Mario Lanfranchi > Maestro del Coro -- Roberto Benaglio > > RAI 13 marzo 1956 >
