  Yes, that Tote Stadt aria last year was lovely. RF’s gifts are extraordinary; if there’s a soprano singing who has a more beautiful sound, I haven’t heard her. When she connects with her material and sings it in a stylistically appropriate manner (as in the Korngold), the results can be wonderful.

  But as we all know, this is the same singer who can insert so many sobs and gulps into the opening line of “Si, mi chiamano Mimi” that by the time she gets to the end of the phrase, she’s lost track of the musical argument. Does she do this to avoid seeming bland? Is she determined to give use “her” reading by distorting, even destroying the line? Whatever the reason, the result is vulgar and just plain wrong.

  It is indeed regrettable that this attempt @ being scarey/bad/witchy mostly likes like an advert for OPI nail enamel. Huummmmmm, maybe a line of nail polish will come out to accompany the eau de parfum.

  “Touch of a Diva”, the nail enamel of opera *stars***.
