- In this rare footage, soprano Constance Hauman brings down the house at London's Barbican Centre with her scintillating rendition of "Glitter and Be Gay" from Leonard Bernstein's Candide. Leonard Bernstein conducted the London Symphony Orchestra for this performance of the entire work, and Constance was a last second replacement for the regular star who had fallen ill. Arguably, this is one of the greatest moments in musical theatre.

Conducted by the original composer..Bernstein..What a legend experience!
That was exciting!
Imagine getting to sing this with Bernstein conducting after being handpicked by him as a last minute replacement to June Anderson who had been ailing - just, just imagine it. That must’ve felt incredible.
Daughter of the Lorimers here! Awesome job, Connie! 💕
What a wonderful performance! Just Fantastic!
That really was marvelous! Thank you Miss Hauman! We did an audition together about seven years ago for an opera company. I loved playing for you. Thank you for that privilege!
Constance has always been a very classy, gifted soprano. I was in a couple of operas with her in France. It is great to see her get her well merited ovation here.
Her top notes are just beautiful. They really shimmer in her upper register.
Constance,
I only found this today. You are incredible !!
Fabulous singing.
Warmest regards from Canada's Westcoast !
Beautiful.....I'm dying to get the sheet music for this... I've never heard Constance before this, and she has a gorgeous voice and great presence, and she's beautiful as well. so glad i found this......Anybody heard Dessay's rendition of this??? Pretty amazing too.
This is wonderful! I’m so happy that I found out about this on NPR!
FABULOUS!!!
That blue dress totally reminds me of Cinderella! She definitely looks like a beauty in blue. ;)
Bloody Hell..... she ROCKS!!!!! Fantastic. Great!!! What Power on the coloraturas. AMAZING!!!
very classy, beautiful
Heavens!!!
You go girl!
Was this after the performance with Anderson and Hadley, or before it?
I like her rendition very much, but I prefer Anderson's on this one because Constance uses a bit too much vibrato, although I respect her for taking the role over in just 1 day.
Too much vibrato? This is *not* Anglican music for a straight-tone boys choir...lol. Just.........
.....shhhhhhh
😎😎😎
@@rugby8-Philadelphia I agree with Tom VB (although 9 years ago) that the vibrato is rather heavy and even disturbing from the start (1.25 ) till about 3.00 After that the song is such, that the vibrato is less prominent. From the maybe 70-80 versions I heard indeed this one has too much , although like Tom VB I enjoy the rest of her performance.She has certainly qualities . Your comparison though with Anglican music is total nonsense. From a classical singer or a non classical, but trained singer, we may expect less vibrato, as simply as that. It is widely known that too much vibrato can be rather distracting. Any teacher can tell you that.
Too much vibrato.I prefer other performances Natalie Dessay Madeline Kahn June Anderson Dawn Upshaw Mary Costa and of course the Lady who introduced the song Barbara Cook
