Robert Merrill - Song, Duet with Anna Moffo, & "Faust" Aria

Baritone Robert Merrill starts by singing a magnificent rendition of "Some Enchanted Evening" and then is joined by Anna Moffo for a duet of "Climb Every Mountain." This is followed by the thrilling baritone aria "Avant De Quitter Ces Lieux" from Charles Gounod's "Faust."

The title of the French aria is actually "Avant de quitter ces lieux" from Faust by Charles Gounod, but nevertheless a thrilling baritone aria.

Thanks, I don't know much about French opera.

Lawrence Tibbett said the same thing about Merrill's voice.

[halavey]

Moffo told me in Chicago that Merrill had the most beautiful baritone voice she ever sang with and she said this after a lecture at the end of her career in Chicago where she took questions.

Anyone know when/where is was performed/recorded??

First of all, Merrill is a god. Secondly, this aria is NOT sung better by a bass. This is clearly a baritone piece.

Sorry, I hadn't got to the Faust yet...his *French* diction is not so great...

[FacePaster]

I don't know why you say his diction sucks - I understood every word.
