The following Lotte Lehmann "streaming" video clip requires a 56K modem (about 30 minutes for the 3 minute clip). It will be faster on "broad band" cable or DSL.

The sound quality as well as the film is compromised by the compression needed for the Website. But this is a wonderful opportunity to see Lehmann in action!

If you don't already have QuickTime, you must first download this. It's free; you have to go to that portion of the QuickTime page to locate the free version.

The available Lehmann video is a portion of the MGM film "BigCity" from 1948 with the child star Margaret O'Brien, Danny Thomas, Robert Preston, George Murphy and Karin Booth. Lehmann "hums" the Robert Schumann Träumerei and sings The Kerry Dance by Molloy.
