l’amore di tre drag kings

by | 11:31 am | Sep 30, 2008

Sopranos Deborah Voigt and Patricia Racette and mezzo-soprano Susan Graham made their drag king debut on Sunday night, and for once the gender confusion has nothing to do with Rufus Wainwright. The trio of songstresses donned tuxes for a spoof of the Three Tenors at a gala honoring Placido Domingo‘s 40th anniversary at the Met. The ladies quickly stripped down to “shimmering gowns in which they delivered the aria ‘Nessun Dorma’ that was a signature piece for The Three Tenors.” Photo by Ken Howard, Metropolitan Opera.

    What we need in this Penniless Autumn is lots of clips from Ernie Kovacs. I know what happened to him in the end, but the guy was a Genius.

    Hmmm….will we soon be hearing from Metastasio? 3rd Norn’s #8 brought a smile to my face, and that French and Saunders/Sarah Walker bit is to die! What would we do WITHOUT kitsch?!

    sanford: I think what you see there is the the shadow of the lower edge of a corset. The dress is somewhat clingy and so the line is visible.
