Pavarotti, Tajo and a young James Levine
Tune into WGUC (90.9 FM) tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. for a legendary performance of Puccini's La Bohème, starring opera luminaries Renata Scotto as Mimì, Luciano Pavarotti as Rodolfo and Cincinnati's famed opera basso Italo Tajo, as Benoit. A young James Levine is on the podium.
A tribute to the life of the late tenor, the opera was originally broadcast March 19, 1977, and recorded four days after the historic first Live from the Met telecast of La Bohème. This special archival broadcast of La Bohème has not been heard anywhere since it originally aired in 1977 and features Pavarotti in his only radio broadcast performance of La Bohème at the Met.
"Pavarotti: In His Own Words," a special two part feature, will be heard during the intermissions.
