This was a lucky find. A match between notable mezzos singing "Stride la Vampa" The line between contralto and mezzo is a bit fuzzy, but the truth is, the mezzo is singing in the contralto range, Great performances here all around. Which one is your favorite?
This is what our YouTube host says:
"The first ever Mezzo cage match! Arguably the four most prevalent Azucenas of the last 50 years duke it out for the top link in the Azucena food chain. First verse only."
