I would call it wikipeepee…maybe wikipeeya

i never scooped. when i sang leonora, all of milano cried, it was the most beautiful thing they had ever heard. just ask captain haddock.

When Mr. Guttenberg took the economic affairs office in Germany a year ago, someone snuck in an extra first/eleventh name on Wikipedia (he has ten), and almost all the media took it up… just saying.

And rf, you don’t exactly have to log in, they’ll only log your IP if you don’t, so whatever evil changes you make, they can be attributed to your computer. If you never switch off your router, that is. One can help make the world of the poor or time-pressed wiki-only researchers a better place by correcting little mistakes on wikipedia.

Not sure how you can tell that from this recording. Don’t you think the more obvious point is this:

The singing here is technically perfect. You could play the Tacea and D’Amor’s from this recording back to back with recordings from the early 60s and few could tell which was early Price and which came late.

Understand that by age 51 Ponselle and Rethberg were essentially retired. Callas and Tebaldi were either dead (nearly so) or retired. Zinka was still going strong at 51, but the track record for Verdianas show Miss Price as being exemplary. BTW, she did not retire in 1986. She just stop singing opera in staged performances.

I feel accomplished when I’m able to comment on this site. Or send an e-mail. Or link to a European performance on operacast.com. I’ll leave the more advanced activities to you younger tech geniuses.

Does anyone here know how to edit Wikipedia articles so that this rather bizarre attribution of “La favorita” to Bellini instead of Donizetti can be corrected? It’s from the entry on the Academy of Music (New York City).

“The repertoire for the first season was ambitious and included Semiramide and The Barber of Seville by Rossini; la Favorita, Norma, and la Sonnambula by Bellini; and Don Pasquale, Lucrezia Borgia and Lucia di Lammermoor by Donizetti.”

And this girl sings Olimpia. She does hit a high A flat

And this is a cute tenor

can’t be bad…

I wonder what the Vicar would say?

lastly, now we know how the people in professional dancing circles feel every season of Dancing with the stars; the only difference is that they likely do not throw fits of these proportions.

The one thing i will say is that Villazon’s hair finally caught up with his singing.
