- Sang the role of Salud in the first complete stereo recording of Manuel de Falla's opera "La Vida Breve".
- Sang the role of Cio-Cio-San in two complete recordings of Puccini's "Madama Butterfly", and the role of Nedda in a complete recording of Leoncavallo's "Pagliacci". All three recordings were made with tenor Jussi Björling.
- Sang the role of "Carmen" in the first complete stereo recording of Bizet's opera with Thomas Beecham conducting. This recording used the sung recitatives by Guiraud rather than the original spoken dialogue that Bizet intended. De Los Angeles's Carmen has been acclaimed by some as the greatest ever.
