Constance Hauman sings "Glitter and Be Gay"

In this rare footage, soprano Constance Hauman brings down the house at London's Barbican Centre with her scintillating rendition of "Glitter and Be Gay" from Leonard Bernstein's Candide. Leonard Bernstein conducted the London Symphony Orchestra for this performance of the entire work, and Constance was a last second replacement for the regular star who had fallen ill. Arguably, this is one of the greatest moments in musical theatre.

I recently heard Kiri Deonarine sing this and it was literally brilliant. I never liked opera before that moment. It was a life chaging moment

Was this after the performance with Anderson and Hadley, or before it?

I like her rendition very much, but I prefer Anderson's on this one because Constance uses a bit too much vibrato, although I respect her for taking the role over in just 1 day.

Beautiful.....I'm dying to get the sheet music for this... I've never heard Constance before this, and she has a gorgeous voice and great presence, and she's beautiful as well. so glad i found this......Anybody heard Dessay's rendition of this??? Pretty amazing too.
