Une femme de mon nom
Felicity Palmer has withdrawn, alas, from the Met’s spring revival of La Fille du Régiment. In her place, alternating in the role of the Marquise de Berkenfield we will hear Ann Murray (pictured, with friend) and Philip Langridge. (Oh, all right, La Cieca is being silly. Not Philip Langridge, actually, but rather Meredith Arwady. But La Cieca still thinks her casting is funnier.)
This artist, apparently, was unavailable…
Vicar -
AH-HAH! You’ve betrayed yourself as a Fraud! Thomas Round didn’t sing the Duke of Plaza-Toro, he sang MARCO! Turn in your badge, sir.
You also misspelled his name. It’s ROUND not ROUNDS.
I love the Vicar of John Wakefield’s marvelous postings almost as much as his own fine performance in Davis’s first MESSIAH recording.
What astonishes me is that I’ve either heard (if only on records) or at least heard of most everyone he name drops. Frightening.
