This is a recording of Martina Arroyo at the age of 22, when she was a joint winner of the Metropolitan Opera Auditions of the Air along with Grace Bumbry.

She is impressive in this rendition of Qui Radamès verrà... O patria mia from Aida by Giuseppe Verdi. This aria is notorious for it's tessitura and Ms. Arroyo handles it at the tender age of 22 better than seasoned Aida's double her age!

You better sang!
