Bella è quell’ira, o vergine!
As several of you quick-witted commenters have divined, the mystery Odabella is none other than Eva Marton, who performed in Verdi’s Attila in 1972. As you watch this YouTube clip of the entire aria, thrill to la Marton’s precocious mastery of diva body language!
Mrs. C-
I’ll defend you from Annonymus attackers with my insanly sarcastic quips. Please don’t go.
Mrs C- I agree with Baritenor (and I’m sure a lot of others) when I respectfully beg you not to go. I love your posts. Anonymous needs to lighten up. To every one detractor I’m sure you have ten fans and that’s not a bad ratio. Only the other day Winpal offered you the chance to be the mother of his children- never before have I seen such a proposal on here- I was/am jealous and ever since have been trying to work out a way I can lock Winpal in the cupboard or do something very “Bold and Beautiful” so I can take his place.
Please never let one detractor kill a good thing- and as far as I’m concerned, in here, you are a very good thing.
Oh, Daniel, knowing how you feel, I could never be selfish or possessive. We can work out some kind of gaily operatic Mormonesque timeshare arrangement with Mrs. JC, I’m sure. And lock Anonymous in the cupboard.
Perhaps you haven’t checked the new posting policies on the site, but anonymous isn’t one person- anyone can sign this way. It’s been hysterical to watch Claggart flailing wildly away in a previous
match against what was obviously multiple posters.
Dear ItalianainBristol,
I read the article and thought it was really funny. You took her too seriously. Netrebko-it’s part of what she is- loves to shock you, and to put her foot in her loud foul mouth. She’s known to swear like a drunken sailor! I love her spontaneity and what she has done for opera and opera recorded music. I flew from Texas to New York for her Carnegie Hall debut, and I’m going back the 29th for her Romeo and Juliette at the Met. Netrebko haters eat your hearts out!
Thank you Winpal- I should have known you would be a brick about it- I’d be happy to share with you anytime. Agreed, let’s lock Anonymous in the cupboard instead- then shove the bitch over the balcony!
(It’s hard to take anyone with “anonymous” handle seriously anyhow).
Peace to all
Whoever and whenever someone signs
“Anonymous” should not be taken seriously and should be ignored.
Various anonymouses: Although it is not required to log in to the site to comment, can I ask that you choose an “informal” screen name and use it with each posting? Basically you could just sign “Tessie Tura” or whatever at the end of each posting. That way it’s easier to keep track of who is arguing with whom.
Suggestions? La Cieca
There has been a problem with Google sign-in; I, for one have simply found it easier to sign in with anonymous than having to rewrite the same comment several times.
Personally, I find it easier to listen to someone who signs their posts anonymously rather than someone who screams “fuck you” in a blog when the going gets to hot for them.
But I will respect the blog-moderator’s request- in the next topic……..
leaving a post attacking someone and not haveing enough balls to sign anything but “anonymous”? sounds chicken to me…
