VERY RARE ❗ Franco Corelli on stage 🎥 VIDEO fragments & Restored sound

A few seconds/minute long videos of Franco's performances in New York from 1962-1974, including operas that we previously had no video footage of at all.

💖🙏🏽 Huge thanks to my dear friend Olga for the find and for sharing sharing them with me so that I could present them in a way most worthy of Franco.

🎧 ℹ The original videos were all silent with one exception, so I added the appropriate sound recordings (with the original singing where the performance was identifiable and there was existing audio recording, where not, I added the one that best fitted).
