[emmie]

Ave Maria, Deanna Durbin, its sublime

[Mamyalynne]

[Peter Pedant]

a toast to xampaigne
first act La Traviata - 1976 just at the end of this were were booted out after a bomb alert ( no bomb)

[Peter Pedant]

or the toast to xampaign in Die Fledermaus
"all I warnt eez more champagne"
this reflected the growing affluence of industrialised Prussian Empire in the late C19.- so they could afford more champagne of course !

Is that soldier really a young lady playing a breeches role? ^^^

[Mamyalynne]

Yes.

I have posted this before but Renee Fleming, et al, in the final trio from "Rosenkavalier" is my current favourite ::::

[mikey4444]

Is there room for a teeny bit of Callas ?

[emmie]

yes

[mikey4444]

Emmie....My grandmother saw her in the famous Zeffirelli production of "Tosca" at Covent Garden in 1964.

I was only 11 at the time and I didn't take much notice when she told me all about it !

[The Builder]

Nice to see the fabulous Renee Fleming on AB, Mikey ;o)

I've been watching Gluck's opera Orfeo y Euridice, Emmie. This together with the dancing is wonderful...

"Dance of the Blessed Spirits"
.

[emmie]

Robert Merrell and Jussi Bjorling

[mikey4444]

The Builder....I am sure that I heard recently, that Flaming will not be giving us any more Marschallins .....what a great pity !

[The Builder]

Yes, Mikey, that was in an interview she gave recently.
Such a shame.

[emmie]

another genius, Yo Yo Ma
