About

These are recordings of live performances from the Teatro Colon Buenos Aires in 1958. As with other top ranking opera houses of the time, the languages in which the operas were sung were not always the original ones and multiple-language performances were not uncommon. In Carmen, the chorus is singing in Spanish and the cast principals are singing in French.
