YouTube just randomly offered this clip to me.
One of the greatest African-American opera singers, Grace Bumbry, in Herbert von Karajan's 1967 Vienna production of Carmen: just 30 years old and utterly lovely.
Her Don José is the great heldentenor Jon Vickers.
The costuming is questionable, I admit. That dress looks more like something Carmen Jones should wear than Bizet's Carmen. But no one can deny the talent on display!
Bizet - Carmen Suite No. 1
È pazzaaaa la adoro
La Callas dans la "seguedille" de Carmen.
"Don't talk to me about rules, dear. Wherever I stay I make the goddamn rules." - Maria Callas (performing Carmen's "Seguedille" above, in Hamburg, 1962.)
Grace BUMBRY - Carmen - "Seguedille"
studying Carmen in school, and so far Grace Bumbry is definitely my favorite; this is my favorite of Carmen's songs - and boy is Ms. Bumbry seductive in her performance!
I just love the tune and prettty much everything about this.
Click here to see the scene with english subtitles! and click here if you want to watch the whole opera!
P.S. the recorded first and then dubbed the scene. It looks a bit dubbed 'cause it is, but that's her voice babes!
