When I saw Franco live, while embracing the female lead, he would gently put his hand over her ear. It looked like he was just caressing her, but he would do it every time he had to sing really loud.
-From DCFunBud:
I remember a story when Corelli first sang with Eileen Farrell. (I believe it was La Forza del Destino in Philadelphia, 1956.) He said in Italian, "Who is this woman?! She is making me deaf!" I get the same feeling here
