Brava!

Marguerite happens to be my cousin, and she has more class in what she flushes than those that post such insults. Evidently, some don't know talent when they see it. Only a fool insults a person without knowing them.

@AventuraLuver you do not want to express your anguish,
I know so well that you do not want to express it
but you feel as if you are dying!

@AventuraLuver Here is a general translation of the lyrics When I walk alone in the street People stop and stare at me And everyone looks at my beauty, Looks at me, From head to foot... And then I relish the sly yearning which escapes from their eyes and which is able to perceive my most hidden beauties. Thus the scent of desire is all around me, and it makes me happy, makes me happy! And you who know, who remember and yearn you shrink from me? I know it very well (continued)

I recently perused a copy of Life Mag from 12/4/1950. She was hawking Camels because they were (miraculously) easier on her throat! But almost every star was plugging cigs. Darn good money they paid.
Stan Freberg did not, and would not, sell his name to be used for either alcohol or tobacco. (I must say, I love pipes and cigars!)

How sad, in a way, to again be reminded of how American tastes have shifted from the sublime towards the ridiculous-and fetid.

NBC's comedy variety program "Your Show of Shows" inspired the format of Saturday Night Live." Over the years SNL had guest hosts with the same show biz stature as Melvyn Douglas, but I can't quite remember SNL doing opera, especially opera this good. And on live network TV yet. In Puncini's La Boheme, Musetta sings her waltz on Christmas Eve. Let's see someone top this at our Christmas Eve parties.

I love the simplicity of this, not to mention her charm. Oh, and what a voice!

@AventuraLuver How hot she it.
Seriously.

What is she singing about?
This performance is so charming, simple, and captivating. If only opera directors could return to this style. It lets the music and drama speak for itself, which is always a GOOD THING! Ms. Piazza is completely charming and sings beautifully. Thanks for posting this.
