Happy 99th Birthday, to #LeontynePrice! Here she is singing "Morrò, ma prima in grazia" from Verdi's Un ballo in maschera (A Masked Ball). This is the greatest recording of this aria imo.

The one video I would save from a burning YouTube. In incredible voice and with an over-the-top attitude, she had her audience gasping at one point. All Puccini encores: Vissi d’arte, Chi il bel sogno, Tu tu tu piccolo iddio. Then scroll down for more. Happy 99th birthday tomorrow, #LeontynePrice!
