When Ladies Meet
The scene: Backstage at the Richard Tucker Gala.
The situation: Diva X is onstage, singing music from the opera _________, a role for which Diva Y (also on the bill) is famous. Diva Z is among the onlookers while Diva Y "holds court."
[The guests chatter.]
Diva Y: Silence! What's that music!
Diva Z: Why, that's a scene from _________.
Diva Y: __________? Who on earth is singing that?
Diva Z: Oh, that's Diva X!
Diva Y: Diva X? Is Diva X actually singing _________?
Diva Z: Well, yes, but, you know, it's only an excerpt, not the whole role . . .
Diva Y: [interrupting] Never mind, my dear. That was a rhetorical question.

Hmm ... Futral singing Traviata? Or Racette singing the Boïto?
Sounds like Maramabio (singing BALLO excerpt)...with comments from La MILLO (who couldn't possibly sing that role now!!
Yes, it is fun to speculate. I immediately thought Renee and Angela, but Angela wasn't actually there at the time.
Definitley La Millo referring to Racette who has no business singing Otello nor Mefistofele...EVER!!!!!

I agree! Racette should not venture into the tenor and bass repertoire. She should only sing SOPRANO!!!!
