"EEF you have to CUT something, you have to cut BANQUO'S aria. NOT. MINE."
Wait wait wait wait wait -- I've only got up to the Gomes Maria Tudor!
I couldn't care less about Adriana, but I'm listening to the Macbeth as we speak (so to speak). Scotto seems to have more registers than a Walmart. Lordy, how I miss Sylvia Sass in this role!
Okay, I admit it. I was wrong. She's still not my favorite singer, but boy, did Scotto nail Lady Macbeth.
you are reedeemed, sanford
Redeemed? Why, I feel just like an S&H greenstamp! Now if only someone could rid me of the viral meningitis that I've been laid up with for 3 weeks, I'd feel even more redeemed. By the way, it's websites like this that keep me occupied, amused, and involved whem I'm sick (and i've been sick a lot in the last few years). I want to go on record as being extremely grateful to JJ, Milton, NYCOF, and all of us who argue, discuss, and disect on this site. I may not always agree with you all but I'm always interested in what you have to say.
