As for Tenor Corelli, he came onstage dressed in the velvet tunic and tights that display his most famous asset: the legs that have earned him the Milan nickname of "Golden Calves" ("I just love Franco," says Leontyne Price. "He has such gorgeous legs"). Moreover, the golden calves support a 6 ft. 2 in., 180-lb. frame and a classically handsome head that qualify Corelli as the best-looking hunk of tenor now singing.* In his Met debut he demonstrated that he also has a voice.
