... Hi Karlene, It is a hoot isn't it! I love Aragall's mother-in-law. The photo must have been taken sometime in the mid 1970's. Carreras and Ricciarelli met...

You will love that Carmen! To my mind, it is the only version of Carmen you will ever need, because Josep, as Don Jose, is amazing. If ever there was a more...
