Loading Laverne Cox data from Instagram. Please wait... @lavernecox : In 1985 #LeontynePrice bid farewell to the operatic stage singing Aida at the @metopera. She was 57 years old. Compare this clip with my earlier post of her singing the same excerpt from the same aria 23 years earlier. This is vocal longevity. Bella Voce. Happy 92nd Birthday Ms. Price.
