Besides all the remarkable aspects of de los Angeles in this or any role, and at any age, she's probably the only Carmen who actually plays the castanets, rather than faking it.

She was terrific!

Praise to you for this treasurable film of a great artist as Carmen in live performance. This must be the only film of De Los Angeles in that opera. I hope you have other treasures to share. Thank you!

Lovely to see and hear Victoria in a live performance.

WOW WOW WOW - What a treasure this is!!!!! Thank you so much for posting this rare find. Till now this seems to be her only live opera performance that was filmed. 5 stars of course!

Thanks for posting this. I had no idea anyone filmed it. I was at this performance. She was wonderful. Not bad for a 55 year old singer!! She was great on stage. If you have the Card Song, please post it. There is to little of her live in opera. This is a great find.Thank you.

Consider also this was picked up without the best recording equipment (1978) interesting to hear a lyric voice sing this. I remember King well from the 60's. De Los Angeles was a super artist. Her Mimi with Bjorling in the 56 recording was a super recording.

The reason the second aria is so dark is because- there was hardly "any" light on the stage. Considering that- it's pretty good.
