My God, Millo did have all the goods. What a voice. Pity she burnt out too soon.

Anymore please add

Why would two mezzos (Larmore and Blythe) both sing Carmen? It's like they were auditioning for the Met or something...Two different singers I guess...Larmore tries and does some characterization, Blythe just sorta stands there and sings nicely...Fun to see though.
