Von Stade Gala Volpe

[linnyloo2]

It's delightful to watch Flicka having so much fun with this. She's one of the best actresses on ANY kind of stage, as well as having an amazing voice. Can you imagine how much fun she'd be at a party?! Can you arrange an invitation for me, please?

[erzbet07]

Is there anyone that can perform more delightfully than Flicka? No, a thousand times NO! What an incredibly classy, warm, wonderful lady. A class act in every respect! Thanks for posting.

[malibu64]

wonderful woman!!

[charlesking1984]

The most charming voice in the world!!!! the GREATEST Flicka!

[loverflicka]

Flicka, en 1971, en 1973, en 1980, en 1990, en 2000, en 2008... antes, ahora y siempre, adorable como cantante, adorable como mujer y adorable como persona... I love you forever, Flicka!

[foxxywilma]

does anyone know where to find a transcript of these lyrics? they differ slightly from other versions i've found. and i much prefer von stade's.

[woodlucas]

I feel so lucky to have gotten to meet this great singer! She and Sam Ramey did a Q&A session at my school, Chicago College of Performing Arts.

[Grigor99]

The pianist, Brian Zeger is a friend of mine. We studied with the same teacher in high school. He works and lives in NYC and is highly gifted and successful.

[ygorcs88]

She's very funny and agreeable as a person, and as a singer she's still excellent. I find her personality very easy-going, so spontaneous and unpretentious on and off the stage!

[placenrun]

quel chemin depuis cherubino a garnier

beaucoup d humour

[wellmeant]

What a GREAT number! Von Stade is as allways

wonderfull, and the pianist is also "very handsome".

I think they had lots of funn together those two.

Greetings from B. Harding, Copenhagen, Denmark!

[wellmeant]

She is absolutely great, and the pianist is also "cute":-)Von Stade is just SO funny

and sweet...Thank you for posting.

Greetings from Copenhagen Denmark!

[Rostrover123]

Her French is really good.

[trekkie2006]

I LOOVVEE Flicka!!! She's an amazing singer and performer!!

[LaerdBryn]

Van Stade always seemed to be having a great time making a character and sharing it with the audience. Probably has greasepaing in her veins and would have been a diva and/or a charmer in any phase of show biz. Definitely a real life "Auntie Mame".

Some of the videos of her opera performances are worth checking out, too.

[nbottoms]

Where can I find this music?

[stephenjohnvogel]

The song she sings so charmingly was first recorded in French in the 1930's by the music hall star Mistinguett, but the composer is Nacio Herb Brown, a well-known Hollywood composer. Does anyone know

what the song was called in English and who first sang it and when? I suspect it's from a movie.

[enilokin]

Nacio Herb Brown's hit from 1937 "I'm Feeling Like A Million" (Je cherche un Millionaire)

[lamezzoenfrancais]

Her french is fantastic!

But that's expected because everything Frederica does is unparalleled.

[schicchi1160]

holy shit it's Brian Zeger behind the piano! He's amazing and yes I'll brag that I attend his school.

[baritonebynight]

He is amazing....and MUCH cuter than Martin Katz.

[RVP57]

@baritonebynight As are most dogs

[baritonebynight]

@RVP57 OUCH!

[nostalgiaopera]

She's coming to Madison - I can't wait!!!!! FLICKA!

[gmr2broadway]

[XxXMichelleXxX]

[renethel]

Von Stade is versatile, she can sing opera and non-legit musical theater!

[felipecunha]

Delicious!!!

[rmm413]

Very enjoyable. Could you post some more clips from other singers at the Volpe Gala?

[Alyson69]

Wonderful. Flicka is my fav mezzo by a long shot. She just gets better and better.

[SissiPearl]

Brava, brava, bravissima, La Flicka!!!

[D9l3tt]

Brava Flicka!
