Only if the marriage had been as magnifying as those two voices, wow. Can you imagine the talented children those two would have produced. I love her voice, every aspect of it, and his is also a double wow. "Show Boat"

She actually was 65 at the time she sang Zweite Brautnacht at Carnegie Hall. Peter Jennings, who with Beverly Sills, hosted the TV performance, was astounded when he found out she was 65. She neither looked it nor sounded like it.

@laddnyc actually......she only had a brief bit of "scooping" in the 70s. By the 80s, some of her singing was even better in her 60's than it'd been in her younger years. For example, her Carnegie "Zweite Brautnacht" from 1991, is FAR better and more impressive than any of her younger recordings/performances of that aria...and many agree. AND she was like 61 there.

@laddnyc I actually like the scooping of her later years. it made her human somehow. Still equally as beautiful I think.

Onegin65 I worship at your shrine! You bring me so many tears of joy!! This is fantastic and a lesson to those who criticized the great Diva Price!!! Even 30 years into her career she maintained a glorious and healthy command of a voice from GOD! To those who critcize her mannerisms and "scooping" of her final years need only listen to these early recordings to know how brilliant her technique was-enabling her to sound just as fresh, particularly in upper register, as she did in her youth!
