More Sopranos, Please

I was saddened to read that Beverly Sills passed away today. I love opera. Recently I started listening again to The Magic Flute, (Die Zauberflote) by Mozart. It was Mozart's last opera, & is my favorite.
Here's a little sampling of some great divas, mezzo sopranos, & queens of the night! Enjoy!

Beverly Sills, "Una Voce Poco Fa!!" 1971, from the Barber of Seville, Rossini. She is a complete delight!

Luciana Serra, "The Queen of the Night" The Magic Flute, Mozart
Girl. Listen to Mama. She's pissed.
(aside: this is the aria that got me listening to opera)

Maria Callas "O Mio Babbino Caro." by Puccini.
Gorgeous. Get out your handkerchiefs!
