  • And the winner is...

    Frederica von Stade...

    Best Cenerentola (ever)

  • @Dogaradodia @operagirl53 For me opera singing and acting cannot be separated. Frederica von Stade IS the role she is playing. She is absolutely enchanting, how can we do anything except watch her. She is able to embody the goodness, the love, the excitement, the joy, the purity, the innocence and all round angelic-ness of roles with these characteristics because that is, it is clear to me, the nature of her soul. We are just lucky - as we recognize - to be able to witness it, even 20 years on.

  • I had no idea that she was so GORGEOUS!!! :)

  • @Poet2916 It is a piece that can be sung by both mezzo-sopranos and contraltos who are able to sing coloratura.

  • Thank you for your background of Flicka. IIt completes the legacy her father left the world. A Perfect gift..

  • From Composer's Datebook -

    "In the closing months of World War II, a young American lieutenant, named Charles von Stade, was killed in Germany when his jeep ran over a land mine. Six weeks later, at a hospital back home in New Jersey, his young widow, Sara, gave birth to a daughter, Frederica, who would grow up to become one of the most acclaimed singers of her generation.

    Frederica von Stade never knew her father, but the love letters he sent his young bride from the front survived. "

  • Elkus v. Elkus brought me here... for you law students and law based professionals...

  • How lovely she was, then and now!

  • This is a piece for mezzo-soprano, correct? I'm trying to gather and learn as many mezzo-soprano opera songs as I can, though I'm really interested in trouser roles.

  • Indeed, she is excellent in this role. Sweet, gentle, demure.

  • La più incantevole Cenerentola.
