Nearly a full century of coloratura sopranos in this clip! 10 Sopranos sing the final coloratura section of Lakme's showpiece "Où Va La Jeune Hindoue", better known as the Bell Song or Air des Clochettes.
In chronological order (as always):
1. Luisa Tetrazzini
2. Amelita Galli-Curci
3. Lily Pons
4. Mado Robin
5. Maria Callas
6. Dame Joan Sutherland
7. Mady Mesplé
8. Sumi Jo
9. Tracy Dahl
10. Natalie Dessay
If you would like to hear any of these sopranos sing the full aria, I believe all of them have versions on RU-vid, though many are not the same recording used for this video.
