and looks very fetching here. This was before she seemed to get worried about her height - which I guess at about 5' 1" or so - and started wearing the highest heels and hairdos she could. I always wondered why she did this; small is fine, and she has always had a huge presence to command an audience.
Thanks for posting this ideal Habanera! When was it? I know there is a wonderful "Carmen" with her from Naples, but this one from Catania I don't know. Brava, Fiorenza!
Cossotto is perfect as usual

Yikes...It's hard enough to remember the words to this aria....but Italian....?
LOL...I don't think Cossotto ever sang in any other language besides Italian.

French. Latin, not much of a stretch for someone whose first language is Italian.
