Scotti, suave as usual singing two pieces:
Deh vieni alla finestra, fr. act 2 of Mozart's Don Giovanni.
Quand er paggio, fr. act 2 of Verdi's Falstaff.
Both are oddly coupled on this Victor side, recorded in 1903.

Well, so far both sides are classical.
And the photograph is an additional plus to your post!

Well, yes they are classical. However, someone had the idea to put both pieces on one side of a 12 inch record, which is kind of odd, since they don't have any thread to connect them that I can see.

I own the remake of this disc with orchestral accompaniment and as far as to my knowledge it seems to be just a coupling of two short pieces by the artist and or recording director at Victor to fit on one 12 inch side. They also did this with a few short instrumental pieces and at least one other operatic I am immediately familiar with which is 88441 - Don Giovanni - Deh, vieni/Damnation de Faust - Devant le maison as sung impeccably by Emilio de Gogorza.
