    Kiri is AussieBummed – “I’m No BVDiva”

    This is fucking hilarious–and not just because I’ve had two manhattans and 1/3 a bottle of wine (okay, 1/2 a bottle)…I read this on artsjournal.com yesterday and laughed my ass off (I wish) and of course sent it to my ex-lover/tenor friend…thanks, la cieca, for highlighting it…(as I’m listening to Rysanek’s rendition of “In questa reggia”)

  • Baritenor says:

    To quote Lillian LeFluer from Nine:

    “I LOVE it!”

  • Terence Walsh says:

    Just like the James Bond adage for ‘a martini shaken, not stirred’
    try “Panties stir….Diva shaken”

  • baryton francais says:

    Priceless.

  • OPERA CHANTEUSE says:

    Why would they throw it at an aging soprano. With Fleming or Gheorghiu, I can understand. But Te Kanawa?

  • Hans Lick says:

    op chanteuse — you can’t be serious. I’d throw a custard pie at Fleming or a strudel at Gheorghiu, but Kiri — this jock’s for you!

    Mwah!
