Kitty Darling (Helen Morgan), a burlesque entertainer, fears the impact her lifestyle will have on her daughter April (Joan Peers), so she sends the girl to a convent for proper rearing. Years later, an adult April returns to her mother's life, and the two must forge a new relationship. Complications in the process arise when Kitty finds balancing motherhood and her fading career difficult, and April must fend off advances from her mother's lover at the same time she explores her first love. This musical drama fits nicely into the backstage musical and melodrama category, which explores the ups and downs of entertainers' lives when they're not performing, but the deft direction of Rouben Mamoulian helps the film exceed its place in the genre. Made just as American cinema begins to move from silent films to talkies, Mamoulian manages to transform a soapy story into a sophisticated and moving portrait of the life of an aging performer who trades on her beauty. This heartrending musical possesses even more significance given its pre-code status - a film made prior to the institution of the self-censorship of sex, violence and other controversial content that began formally in 1934 and lasted until the late 1960s.

One of the three most famous tenors in the world, the exceedingly round Luciano Pavarotti has a voice that could shake all of New York City. And it surely shook all of Central Park on the night that the star performed in 1993. As captured on this video, Pavarotti is ably backed by members of the New York Philharmonic as he belts out dozens of classical and traditional tunes ranging from Verdi's LA TRAVIATA to Duke Ellington's It don't mean a thing (if it ain't got that swing).Selections:Verdi: LUISA MILLEROvertureQuando le sere al placidoMercadante: Flute Concerto in E MinorRondo russoDonizetti: LUCIA DI LAMMERMOORFra poco a me ricoveroVerdi: I VESPRI SICILIANI - OvertureCilea: L'ARLESIANA - Il lamento di FedericoTake the'A' train (Strayhorn)It don't mean a thing (if it ain't got that swing) (Ellington)I can go to God in prayer (traditional)Mattinata (Leoncavallo)Serenata (Mascagni)La mia canzone al vento (Bixio)Fantaisie brilliante sur Carmen (Bizet/Borne)Chitarra romana (Di Lazzaro)La Girometta (Sibella)Occhi di fata (Denza)Verdi: LA TRAVIATA - Prelude to Act IIIRondine al nido (De Crescenzo)Non ti scordar di me (De Curtis)Massenet: WERTHER - Porquoi me reveiller?Puccini: TOSCARecondita armoniaE lucevan le stelleO sole mio (Di Capua)Puccini: TURANDOT - Nessun dorma
