| Rose Bampton (1907-2007) as Aida |
About 20 minutes of this Aida have survived, principally the end of act 3 and the end of act 4. These two acts were the only ones broadcast by WGN (Chicago 9.30-11pm) with a relay to WOR (New York 11.15pm-12.30am). This the only recording we have of Bampton and Martinelli together in Aida, though both performed and broadcast the opera from the Met but always with different partners. The sound is often very noisy, but there are some occasional good parts.
