Often played with three sopranos Norma is a bit of a treat for me...

Maria Callas really dominated the role, so it's nice to see/hear other Normas.

I was never a big Callas fan, or Tebaldi for that matter. I much prefer Mozart and baroque music, so we have not met that often

Just found another crowd pleaser, Barcarolle from Les Contes D'Hoffman. From the same CD as the Norma duet, so it's again Caballe and Verrett:

From the closing scenes of La Boheme, Rodolfo and Mimi recount happier times http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NC7yu4p0xs

Then of course she dies......

There were certainly some great pairings from film, and few better than these two....
