The Italian tenor Franco Corelli was born in Ancona on 8th April 1921. In his long artistic career 1971 (the year of the recordings featured in the present DVD) was an important one. The tenor, who was famous all over the world, turned fifty; twenty years of his life had been spent on stage. Few opera singers, in the 20th century, could compare with him for passion, variety of repertoire and quality of interpretation. In 1971 Corelli sang at the Metropolitan in Ernani, Lucia di Lammermoor, Andrea Chénier, Bohème and Werther. That intense year saw him also visit the Far East with a triumphant series of recitals (Tokyo, Osaka and Seoul), the first of which is documented in the present DVD.
