Description:

Pros:

• Despite its sound limitations, this red-hot performance delivers the kind of thrilling singing that makes verismo so impactful.
• Canio was a role that was perfect for the voice and temperament of Mario Del Monaco. He combines scorched-earth intensity with super-human top notes.
• Cornell MacNeil is well-paired with Del Monaco matchining his intensity and vocal beauty.

Cons:

• For some odd reason the chorus does not appear in the second act. It begins with the commedia and all of the chorus cues are missing.
