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?
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.

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.

Her french is fantastic!
But that's expected because everything Frederica does is unparalleled.
