Yes to Borodina, tho I don't know about Dessay Cosette. How is that she can register as small and too precious but not as an ingenue for me? Odd. <BR/><BR/>I think we should all thank the fates that Les Miz peaked when it did, or we would surely be treated to a Britney Spears Eponine today. *shudder*Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748408812275965064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18540063.post-10670897742286993782008-01-15T22:07:00.000-05:002008-01-15T22:07:00.000-05:00Random Les Miz thoughts:1) I have a hard time sayi...Random Les Miz thoughts:<BR/><BR/>1) I have a hard time saying "Eponine" without the words "your brat" in front of it. <BR/><BR/>2) My worst fear in high school was that a voice would sing, over the loudspeaker, "You're on your own; you have no friends," and everyone would know it was addressed to me.<BR/><BR/>3) The NY Marius is terrible. Why couldn't they shoot him and let Enjolras live? Is there no justice in this world?<BR/><BR/>4) Everytime I give money (or silver) to a homeless man, I sing to myself, "I have bought your soul for God."<BR/><BR/>5) Apparently prison tats were popular in the pre-Oz days. <BR/><BR/>6) Met Futures Page - 2013-14 season.

Which is weak. Lyric really needs to put in a line of standing room.

The beauty of her voice is out of this world.<BR/><BR/>P.S. Are you making a pilgrimage to see Fleming's Violetta at Lyric?<BR/><BR/>ChanteuseJRDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06668174652520224455noreply@blogger.com
