Samuel Barber would have absolutely adored this woman.

I know I've commented twice already, but I just can't get over how absolutely fabulous she sounds!!!!!

For the comment about her dress, I thinking she was going for cobra. I think it looks great!

Not since Leontyne has a soprano sounded so glorious in this aria! There have been a couple that have tried.....

This Opera should have a revival in 2016 for the Met at Lincoln Center's 50th anniversary! It was the first Opera ever performed there with Justino Díaz and Leontine Price in the leading roles.

Je suis un admirateur sans limite de Carol
Dès qu'elle chante je ressens un bonheur immense
une plénitude extrème
Très peu de cantatrices ont cette capacité là

meaning a long future still ahead of you
Just to add a note of reality here for those of you who have never sung anything like this. I sang Antony to her Cleopatra in 1976 in our full university production, she was 24 when she did the entire role, and yes, the role is one of the most taxing, with exhausting leaps the entire 3 act opera. She was incredible then, and his video 16 years attests to her gift, intelligence, and longevity. Brava, honey, you still have a long way to go!

A GREAT night for her! The voice is pouring out, it's beautiful, and it's on the breath!!!! Are we hearing this kind of singing at the MET right now? I'd say NOT! This was also the night that Leontyne was the hostess........ So Carol gets extra points for being amazing under pressure.
