Agnes Ayres (soprano) was part of one of the historical recordings made by the Brazilian TV station TV Cultura. Performing in the opera "Fosca," by Carlos Gomes, in the role of Délia, Ayres was part of one of the only fully recordings made by the TV station during the 1970s. The material was found by her nephew, José Eduardo Pereira de Oliveira, just after the Ayres death with 83 years old.
