that is Johnny Carson's cigarette on his desk! this was back in the day when you could smoke on television... must have been in the mid or early 60's Marilyn's hair is in a big ole bee hive..
Forgive me for posting a not-so-pertinent question. . . but what the hell is that in the lower right hand corner at 0:13-0:14? Who is smoking as Marilyn Horne is introduced?!
I am looking for a YouTube version of Miss Horne singing "Il Segreto per Esser Felici" from "Lucretia Borgia." I have it on a cd, but would love to be able to share it with a friend...any ideas? Thanks for ALL your wonderful postings!
What fabulous singing! All young students should listen to this as a gold standard. And probably not easy to sing with just a piano, and for a late night audience.
Yes, she is a real GOLD standard! (I can't understand Bartoli's fans when they tell Bartoli is the best in the world. Did they ever heard Miss Horn?! Not sure!)
I love her expression at the mention of Beverly Sills ("a certain redhead" as she calls her in her biography, while discussing their friction during their joint performances in L'Assedio di Corinto at La Scala). Horne is an American treasure (and so was Sills). Lovely.
it spells "cenerentola"

I never thought vocalists of classical and opera music had a sense of humor until now. She's my absolute idol!

Aww, she is one of the greatest mezzos *ever,* and yet she's so down-to-earth. :D Thanks for posting, coloraturafan!

@lucianapb10 Are you kidding? Marilyn Horne is gorgeous, Dilma Rouseff is a Photoshop made. She is ugly! What a horrible comparison you've made!
