Prendi, per me sei libero

"Prendi, per me sei libero", one of the sweetest moments in all of opera. Adina has bought Nemorino's army registration papers back for him, and has to admit she did it because she loves him.

The incomparable Renata Scotto and Carlo Bergonzi:



Barbara Bonney and Gösta Winbergh, whom I've featured here before. No date or place given, alas:



I can't resist this clip with Kathleen Battle and Luciano Pavarotti--very charming:


Anna Netrebko and Rolando Villazon, whom I normally wouldn't feature because they're too contemporary, but what the heck!



Edit: OK, one more particularly silly one with some gorgeous singing by Judith Blegen:

What a gorgeous site - just found you through the delightful Opera Obsession site. Oh my another reason to distract myself from work... ah well what are we to do :-) Thanks so much for a wonderful resource.
