(And now I hope I won't find any silly stuff - to keep the dignity :))))

Because I have to

Thanks to (user) PerTeQuaggiu on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/user/PerTeQuaggiu), our beloved Master is alive, more than ever. So you just have to check this user's channel, and you will find sooooomany interesting footage of Giacomo & co. He is hunting, using the modern technology like the motor boat, motorcycle and whatsoever. And besides composing which is obvious he had to do, he is talking to women. So you can se HIM flirting with a girl in the village. Ok, maybe I was just thinking that he is doing that...

Those videos are evidently silent movies, BUT, if you have never heard the Maestro's voice, just listen to this. In 1907, during the preparations for La Fanciulla del West, he went to NYC together with his wife, and their voice was recorded. So here you are: Giacomo (and ELVIRA!!!!) talking to the people of America.

If you want to be a singer - or just educated

YouTube is your friend.

And this user is also your friend because he/she shares with you the knowledge of knowlegde for singers.

Here you will find ca. 300 videos of masterclass (only with sound, no image) recorded in 1971-72, at the Julliard School (where the ballerinas are really running around in tu-tu skirts and stockings... I saw that with my own eyes!!!)...

And of course Maria is giving those incredibly useful classes about how to sing. And yes, she is cruel. Ok, not evil cruel but supporting cruel, because she knows everything so you should listen to her!!!!!!!!

Enjoy, and use the force!!!!!
