Franco Corelli at the Arena di Verona 1955 - 1975 RARE live excerpts & images (by Graziano Corelli)

A never before seen short video of Corelli receiving the Premio Giuseppe Lugo award on August 10, 1996, in front of a jam-packed Arena applauding him! The presentation was originally made for the 2006 Verona commemoration, which you can watch here: The video was produced by Graziano Corelli, the main organiser of the commemoration (also Franco’s close friend and second cousin) and documents Franco’s 20-year career at the Arena di Verona (1955-1961 and the first half of the 70s). Not only will you hear excerpts from a wealth of rare live recordings, but you’ll also be able to enjoy an amazing array of never-before-seen photos from Franco’s personal collection, as well as a large number of newspaper clippings documenting Franco’s exploits on the Arena di Verona stage! Really, you don’t want to miss a second.
