Great title!
Well good for her! Brava, Joyce, and if I can judge from the times I’ve seen you on stage, I bet you’ll manage to use the chair as part of your performance and characterization. In sensitivity to the event, I will NOT give the classic theatrical good luck wish before going on stage–you’ve been there, done that!
With all the whining we hear from so-called public servants, bankers, and captains of industry these days, it sure is good to see one great American act like one.
Instead of resigning in the middle of her term and calling it heroic, this one goes ahead (rather like Greg Louganis when he hit his head on the board) and shows us what real accomplishment looks like.
And she did it in London on Independence Day.
Im Bocca Lupa, Joyce! I knew there was a reason when people ask me who I think is going to emerge as the most beloved singer of this generation, I find myself coming time and time again to you.
I read an article yesterday about this; there may be some kind of permanent damage to the leg due to her continuing the performance.
I was there last night.Some virtuoso spinning and twirling of the wheel chair to match the runs and roulades of her performance. Tremendous ovations for her and all the performers.
The star was Pappano. In 50 years I have never heard a Barber with such wit, style and ear for balance.
Never one to be easily upstaged, Angela Georghiu is now said to be carefully planning a fall at her next performance, hoping to twist her neck, break one ankle, and dislocate one shoulder.
Erdgeist: Why should she bother to do it herself when so many would willingly do it FOR her?
#5 I worry about this; I hope she doesn’t put duty above her own well-being. #s7 & 8. Hilarious. Mean, but hilarious.
#8, what mortal would dare get close enough to la vampira?
