Here are the Classical & Dance videos from New York Magazine’s 100 best vintage New York Videos. They’re mostly from the 50′s and 60′s. Though brilliant, kind of makes me wanna bust out my good old mantra: Get over the sixties.
The hottest vid is clearly Callas performing on The Ed Sullivan Show. Not only is this, like, totally unheard of today (opera singer getting the star treatment on a variety show–they even made her a set), but her cry-gaze into the cam at the end is priceless. Still, someone’s head should have rolled for lighting her from above. (Didja see those bags?)
