Filho das notas musicais, filho brasileiro que tanto nos orgulha, com sua personalidade e beleza artistica, temos orgulho de vc, sempre, amo sua voz, e sua figura, um beijo na alma da soprano Ana Paula Brunkow

Also, it'll be in LA, but not 'till late May. I think i will make a long-term plan to head down there. This show is BLISS.

Also, online lyrics for "nearly..." seem to only include those with the shorter bridge. The whole bridge goes:

So clear and deep are my fancies
of things I wish were true
I'll keep remembering evenings
I wish I'd spent with you
I'll keep remembering kisses
from lips I've never owned
and all the lovely adventures
that we have never known

The online lyric sites are notorious for replicating each others' erroneous lyrics.

It's obvious nobody is taking the time to actually read the score or even listen to the recordings.

And as you said, they are often abbreviated. Traditional lead in passages are missing, as well as bridges.

It's pretty sad.

Wonderful performance, Paulo!
I loved to see you at the Lincoln Center Theatre.
Brilliant!

an exceptional voice, so easy on the ears and eyes this is one hot man...catch him at The Met this season in The Nose...all this and humble to...but spoken for...

Perfeito.... irreparável, explêndido.

I saw this on wednesday...paulo was incredible. this song was so beautiful when he sang it, it left me breathless. wow this man is amazing!

that is simply because the arrangement sung by Mario Lanza is transposed up a forth for his higher tenor voice whereas this rendition sung by Paulo Szot is in the original key ideal for a baritone

Dear sphinxtus,

Thank God!

Or rather, thank Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein.

The plum arias are written for tenors. We low voices usually get the short end of the stick.

But at least we have Some Enchanted Evening and This Nearly Was Mine.

As a baritone I will be eternally grateful for these two show tunes.

Just saw him perform this a few days ago and was totally blown away by his voice, presence and handsome looks. This was the emotional high point, earning him a wild burst of well-deserved applause.
