Not quite Ann Blyth and Vic Damone but sooooo close! I'm ashamed that I've not heard of the artists, but I can soon remedy that. Thank you leeecherry.
Actually the soprano sounds rather good in this recording... The lead tenor (the Caliph) definitely less so... And is that really Len Cariou as the Poet, Marsinah's father? What the hell happened to him? Sounds awful in this!
But yes, "Kismet" is from an era of musical theater writing when the emphasis was on the MUSIC.... i.e. most of the actors had to be able to sing! Check out the studio recording with Ruth Ann Swenson, Jerry Hadley & Sam Ramey... all fine singing actors!

Check Julie Andrews. :-D She has a beautiful version, but I don't know if you'll consider that opera as well..
