floating on a starlit ceiling

parterre mascot Izzy Anderson returns with yet another bash at “La donna e mobile.” Video impresario Wenarto obviously is working his connections like mad since he has managed to film this scene on the Act 2 set from the Met’s Tristan.

Unless… you don’t think maybe if Gary Lehman cancels, Izzy will go on opposite Debbie Voigt?

    La Cieca, you placed Deb’s head on Birgit’s body!

    This is actually MUCH improved since his previous efforts. And I LOVE the ballet interlude.

    I don’t care how he sings; he just makes me horny.

  • Gualtier Maldè says:

    The picture is clearer and he is shot from a closer angle, so we can now see clearly the nipple piercings. I miss the sarong but like the addition of the Burger King crown. Worried about the alcohol consumption and that totally unnecessary female dancing around him! (Get that trash outta there, he’s mine!!!). However, it is dramatically appropriate, sigh…

    Vocally there are few off pitch moments and his top is sometimes better, sometimes worse… Italian is rather improved, dontcha think??? Loved hearing him speak at the end.

    Why do I feel like that gentleman from the Times when I see dear Mr. Anderson? That said, I’m surprised by the lowered key. Could our Mr. Anderson be a baby bari-hunk?

    The mind boggles…as the pulse races.

    And if you enjoyed that, be sure to see his cameo turn as Octavian in the closing duet from Rosenkavalier:

    Finally, a historically correct rendition. I always believed that the Duke needed nipple rings. Is there a tenor / haute-baritone role called ‘Prince Albert’ somewhere in the repertoire? Please?

  • dcrazmo says:

    In a bit of optical confusion, I first read your headline as “Floating on a Straight Ceiling,” Thought I’d gone to the wrong website…

    As for Izzy’s Octavian, he unfortunately looks like a lousy kisser. Unless, of course, it’s because he’s kissing a GIRL!

  • David says:

    You know, I could watch Mr Anderson sing all day.

  • Gualtier Maldè says:

    I could sing Sophie to Mr. Anderson’s Oktavian *tomorrow* – it’s merely a question of tongue-kissing and fondling his muscles…
