Emmaloucbway, thank you so much! This gave me the best, and a very needed, laugh today. Perfect, just perfect!

Someone in a Tree2 said: "I may incur of the wrath of the internet hordes when I whisper in your ear that the past participle of "go" is "gone", as in: "If I knew in advance, I would have gone." There are other oldsters out there who may thank me."
I, for one, thank you!

Renee Fleming sings "Danny Boy"

2018, 10:16:31 AM
As an older singer, I'm 62, I can tell you that as I've aged, I have my top notes and bottom notes but it's the middle that's suffered. Since we spend most of the time singing in the middle register it begins to wear out before the top and bottom. My voice has darkened, but it's much harder to achieve a legato line as easily as I did 30 or 40 years ago. My breath is still there, but the power has diminished. I agree that Renee's voice didn

Where on the Sardis.com site are the hours listed?"
Lunch beginning at Noon? I never would have thought of that. The phone number is on the site, one call and all questions are answered.

Does anyone know if Alfie Boe has recorded Soliloquy? I think he could certainly do it justice.

I think it's a generational thing. Kaye Ballard used to grouse all the time about cast members missing shows for any number of reasons when she was in Pirates of Penzance. They grew up in the age when, unless you were in an iron lung, you went on. Dame Diana is of the same ilk. Venerable older people don't care about firing cannonballs anymore. She's entitled to her opinion, she's earned the right to express it and I think she doesn't care what anyo

I’ll ride out a show no matter how bad it is. Even if my tickets were free. If I paid, phuck if I’m walking out."
Not a trust fund kid here, but I am established in my career after years of hard work: life is too short for **** productions and I see no obligation to stay. This is particularly a problem for me as I love opera, but I a

I can understand your points but with "Godspell" what did you expect, a treatise on the Enlightenment?"

Absolutely! Couldn't agree with you more about Finian's Rainbow, especially the last iteration a few years ago. I saw better productions in High Schools than that tripe.

Thanks for your insights, Mikers, but it's "Cain and Abel." Auto correct might have been the culprit.

Live from the Lincoln Center Discussion Thread

I was very disappointed in Samonsky's acting. Lovely voice, beautiful really, but the difference is, when he sings you don't see any mechanics. He's got a beautiful instrument and knows how to use it. His acting showed me none of that. I could see all the technique he was using to manufacture a portrayal. When he needed to be intense he was almost hyperventilating to produce an effect. When the best perform you never see the mechanics or the technique.
