Vo’ farmi piu gaia . . .
But no matter how “gaia” La Cieca became, she would never be “piu fulgida” than this.

Manon uses a fan, doesn’t she? Maybe the various countesses of opera?
In fact I’m a Wagner girl. I’ll record my Sieglinde for you as soon as my voice recovers from this weekends parties and a windpipe infection.
In the mean time, check out my Wotan at youtube:

Doi! Tosca / Scarpia! A fan’s actually a plot point in the opera. Or … a plot point of Scarpia’s.
I’m thinking of taking up the fan…………
Wow, Die Walküre staged in the Sonnambula setting. Francesca Zambello, eat your heart out.
One more suggestion for Caskader…
Consider taking up castanets. With your experience with a fan, I think you’ll find them an easy transition. And, you’ll be able to add Carmen.
Not sure about castanets – given Caskader’s costume selection there’s always the danger of getting a nipple caught. But then, that may be part of the attraction…
A nipple caught in a castanet is a sure way to “stop the show” with your singing1
David and Callasorphan, you have a point. A tantalizing one (from my point of view). And then there’s the mantilla. It would cover up too much skin….
