She is wonderful! :)

Rise Stevens was the first opera singer I had the experience of seeing and hearing in the GREAT Cleveland Severance Hall. YES! I was in the third grade and my class was taken to hear CARMEN sung by this beautiful lady who was then called "The glamor girl of opera". We had wonderful seats right up front so close I felt I could almost touch her.I was "hooked" on opera at that very time, and loved Miss Stevens all my life,even wrote to her, and hope she is well enough at 98 to enjoy her praises..

Happy Birthday to Rise Stevens at 98 tomorrow 6/11/11 I thank you for the many great matinees & evenings you gave me at the old met, my memory treasures them all and I consider myself very lucky to have seen & heard them.

Simply magnificent singing from this great American mezzo! (:-0)

The best Carmen ever, no doubt, but here she is out of place. This sounds like something out of Cavalleria Rusticana, gooey rubati and all.

@cantorga I absolutely agree. That was unforgiveable.

She's a looker.
-
Great voice, always loved her, but couldn't listen to this because of the totallky unjustified and gross liberties the conductor was taking with the tempi. Unacceptable to the serious music student or the professional. Gruesome.

What a voice! the tempo is a bit fast though but still a beautiful performance
The best Carmen ever.
