Opera ecstasies… it does seem a bit that way, from today's perspective
The Golden Age of Opera... European society of the Belle Époque was a society founded on a continuous melodrama. Fellini's "E la nave va" evokes a bygone era of richly creative, extravagant, colorful operistic artistry.
You must listen back to the pre-1925 acoustic era recordings. When you get there... IGNORE THE SURFACE NOISE AND LISTEN ONLY TO THE VOICE. Then, imagine that voice if it were 'live', Tetrazzini, Caruso, Battistini et al would dwarf anyone who has sung in the past 60 years... with one exception... La Divina, Maria Callas.
Come sottolineano i più autorevoli esperti, una volta non si cantava così bene.... La mia mamma, anni ottantaquattro ben portati, mi ha consigliato: "stai a casa a sentire il Beniamino Gigli" e mi ha confortato dicendo che alla Scala cantano come me, notariamente amusicale, cantano il menù del McDonald's 🙄
