"We’re your Verdi Girls"
Yes, the opera is Aida, of course, but is La Cieca the only one who thinks these three should be singing “It’s Raining Men?”

Yeah, Jane Eaglen’s a yuck factor. Give me Christine Brewer any day.
Yes, paddypig, you are, of course, right. BIG voices sometimes do come in little packages and the opposite is true too.
My mom (who was only five feet tall had a sayin”good things come in small packages–diamonds and dynamite”
only saw Brewer once, in Santa Fe’s
Egyptian Helen, she was really wonderful. reminded me then of Debbie Voigt,(or back further to Helen Traubel) big rich Strauss voice.Looking forward to seeing more of her in New York
Paddypig, Your mom was correct! My mom was little and she was dynamite–don’t even think of crossing her! Those who did are NOT alive today to talk about the experience.
We’re your Verdi girls, and have we got Opera News for you.
The Nile is rising, Airfares gettin low.
According to Phhhh–tttaaaahhhh, West Coast’s the place to go.
(I lose my muse at this point)
nycof – Looking at your pic at last I understand how Calaf felt when he first saw Turandot!
-Oh divine beauty, oh marvelous one -oh dream! How I’m suffering at the sight of you!!
Your glory is radiant -I want you to be mine!”
