this time out i’m taking the bows
Your doyenne dusts off her singing pipes and then welcomes a guest from the Great White Way into our luxurious new Sunnyside studios, all as introduction to the third act of Adriana Lecouvreur starring Magda Olivero, on this week’s Unnatural Acts of Opera.
what a priviledge!!!!!!!! to hear LA CIECA, great high notes
and whoah Patty Lupone 
viva La Cieca and viva La Divina Olivero!
whoah, you did not mention MEDEA!!!! Medea is not Patty Lupone
I am humbled because I never realized that I recognized La Cieca from her starring role in Mildred Pierce, from whence this photo appears to come.
Is Cieca a former pupil of Leona Anderson?
Joe: Leona MITCHELL, not Leona Anderson!
Based on the sound of it, I’d say she’s a pupil of Ruth Falcon, just like Andrea Gruber is (or was).
*jatm2063 runs quickly away*
Cieca, what is the status of the Mildred Pierce musical you have been workshopping for the last (ahem) several years? Is it ever going to be produced with you in the title role?
Gualtier: Apparently I’m going to have to play the title role, since Betty Buckley is such a horrible BITCH!
Any chance we could get MrsJC bag to sing the Eve Arden role?
patti lupone as Mildred
Kristen Chenowith as the daughter, Vita(can’t remember exact name
and Charles Busch in the Eve Arden role
