fatbottomedgirls Jane Eaglen (remember her?) reveals a fundamental secret of the art of song. [San Francisco Chronicle]

Clita del Toro says:
Jatmo: I saw two Rings and an Isolde with Eaglen + an Ortrud in Seattle (absolutely awful!). Her voice was pretty big, but inconsistent. Sometimes her tone was good, but too much of the time it was white, pinched and dry, especially at the top. At times the bottom was also weak.
It was especially painful watching her move around the stage, and she often seemed out of breath. At the Met, her Gott. Brunnhilde was excellent (at least the one I saw). The others were decent.
Later in Chicago she was not as good. In Walküre, Act III, she was put to sleep standing up!

  I remember that Walküre. Problem with putting her to sleep standing up was that she kept fidgeting and shifting her weight from one foot to the other — kinda broke the spell.
