Ritorna vincitor!
Il ritorna di parterrebox a patria!
Dich, teure box, gruess’ ich wieder!
Metropolitan Opera House
February 22, 1951
Benefit for the Metropolitan Opera Fund
In English
DIE FLEDERMAUS {22}
Rosalinde……………Maria Jeritza [Last performance]
OMG< I was fiending for some Parterre Box. Glad you’re back.
Egregia signora
Come mi mancava!
And I had some filth to share. The singer in question even has this video on her own website for some strange reason. Things really go awry from about 2’20” …
Well, aside from not being able to follow a conductor’s beat, I hear a very light, potentially pleasant voice with totally insufficient breath support. I’d like to think there was insufficient rehearsal, but that would mean the entire event was irresponsibly produced. Which IS a possibility, I’ll grant.
Absolutely hilarious! And one of the funniest things is that the audience seems pleased.
And the Alpine scene in the background refers to… ?
