- Summary
- Del Monaco and Tebaldi sang Chenier together for the first time on March 6 1949, at La Scala, Milan, when both were just beginning their great international careers. They later performed the opera in Rome, and at the Metropolitan Opera in 1955. We are especially grateful that this 1961 televised performance from Tokyo has survived. In addition to being the only visual document of the two singers together in actual performance, it also proved to be the final occasion on which Tebaldi's Maddalena faced death at the side of del Monaco's Chenier-- the two never again appeared together in this opera.
