MADAMA BUTTERFLY:Puccini
Original Air Date: 12/15/1956
Mitropoulos; Albanese, Barioni, Elias, Brownlee, De Paolis
SID.19330211
No one surpasses Farrar’s 139 Cio Cio Sans (!!!!!!), and Dorothy Kirsten makes for a close third behind Albanese with 68, but Licia’s 72 firmly puts her at number 2. Generally I like her Butterfly more than her Violetta, and Mitropoulos gives excellent direction from the pit. Her last Butterfly broadcast is 2 years later under Leinsdorf.
