Thanks for sharing this clip. I had never listened to this opera before, and it sounds very mellodic and poetic.

Camera work throughout the live HD was outstanding. And the audio transmission was perfect as well. Thank you so very much Metropolitan Opera for a performance of a lifetime. And congratulations on its worldwide popularity that made it the most successful Met Live HD ever.

You Could you upload "I got plenty of nothing"? I liked that version.

Angel Blue has the most beautifully balanced and stunningly easy lyric soprano voice on today’s mainstage. The Met would do well to cast her in many more full lyric roles, but not Tosca or Butterfly yet please. Those are killers of this voice type—maybe in 15 years.
