group hug for marschallin, anyone? hehehe!
i love ‘barcelona’ and i love ‘mommie dearest’!
‘NO ‘MARSCHALLIN’ WANNABES, EVER!!!!’
My exposure to Montserrat came at the behest of a lovely man, after a session of in flagrante delicto (I hope I said that right), I tell him that I’m an aspiring opera singer…he tells me he just saw Montserrat sing Turandot in San Francisco, and that it was the turning point of his musical life. I immediately go out, after we put things away, and get an album of her singing the Bolero from I Vespri Siciliani….BOWLED OVER was I…couldn’t believe how VIBRANT the SOUND is! And just lately, I’ve boughjt 2 DVDS with her, one of which was a concert and the other was her incomparable Norma at Orange. How that girl could sing above all that WIND! She’s always been accused of being somewhat distant from the music, but her interpretation THAT night was DEAD ON. How I wish I couldn’t witnessed her in her prime. I will ALWAYS be a devoted fan.
Marsh, don’t you think life is a little too short to be so negative?
But I guess I shouldn’t complain….Queens digging their nails into each other verbally is sometimes more entertaining then all the operas ever
Which queen is the bigger?
All they’re missing are jazz hands. This shit is camp at its best!
