Nozze di Figaro - ROH 1987 - Che imbarazzo... Crudel, perche finora

Time for me to say something Friday-ish, isn't it? :P

[drtmuir]

Sort of. ;)

[drtmuir]

See, in this one, it's Tom who sings while being groped. ;)

[interpreterr]

That should give him a taste of his own medicine ;-)

5:00? My immediate reaction? Oh no she didn't!

[drtmuir]

@a96agli Be sure you pronounce that correctly, with the glo--al stop. :P

The sad thing about this is, they don't let just anyone grope Sir Thomas. No, you have to have real talent, then you have to come up through the ranks. Imagine all the dreary basses, baritones, tenors, countertenors, and even sopranos (trouser roles) you would have to grope before you even get a shot at Sir Thomas. And he is (snif) not as young as he used to be, so time is precious. SO I gave up opera singing. :P

[a96agli]

I'm a low-ish mezzo, so I never had a chance to begin with...

[drtmuir]

@a96agli That's terrible! What a terrible man, all those ruined lives! :P Chi a una sola è fedele, verso laltre è crudele. :P

[a96agli]

It seems to be a recurring theme - just check the videos on Gianni Schicchi. If there are bewbs on the stage, he'll be all over them...

[drtmuir]

@a96agli Maybe it's written into his contracts.
