Operas on Youtube

[Alf-Prufrock]

Has anyone else noticed how complete opera performances are now appearing on Youtube? I have found a Kleiberfest.
Carlos Kleiber conducting La Boheme at La Scala in 1979 with Luciano Pavarotti, Ileana Cotrubas, Lucia Popp, Piero Cappucilli, Evgeny Nesterenko (what a cast!) in the production by Zeffirelli. This is on :

And Kleiber again conducting Otello with Placido Domingo, Mirella Freni and Piero Cappuccilli in 1976, again Zeffirelli. :

You have to be careful with youtube as the links become invalid so often. However, this seems to have lasted six months and is a real gem - Arabella with Lisa Della Case, Rothenberger and D F-D under Keilberth. I have loved Della Casa's voice for years but blimey what a wonderful stage presence!
