Anna Bolena mischief in the park: al dolce guidami

Out of depression, and fear of her impending death, Queen Anne Boleyn really lets herself go - to the point where she is now too large to access her own tudor hometown. One of Donizetti's most poignant arias, i sang this in the park near my house and managed to finish before security asked me to leave.

your unease pains me

my last wish is to deny the world your art

secretia xox

[belcunto]

@secretiaborgia oh Secretia, there is nothing to forgive :) Please go to my turandot - In Questa Reggia and tell me what you make of that?

Are you my ex!? Is this you Holly?? The suspense means a valium for me. It relaxes my throat and i can hit a C6.

You are delicious and sensitive, Secretia/Holly xxx

dear belcunto,

your taste in music is impeccable and your tones as always are sweet and chaste but they are wasted on that english whore

as always, affectionately

secretia

I vote we all start an opera revolt.... if you are an opera singer, sing arias (in original language so no one knows what you are saying) in appropriate places.... It will be a special division of improv everywhere aimed at bringing opera to the masses.... BY FORCE!!

Come to my aid fellow opera lovers!!

REVOLT!

[belcunto]

YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YES!YE­S!!!!

I'm in on this. Get in touch. Esp if you're in Australia.

i wanted to see them chuck you out.......it would have given the video closure.

Dear Bel....., Are you channeling Sutherland, Callas, Gencer or the chipmunks???

You are obviously a sensitive, poetic fellow with a desire to express yourself as a

performance artist through the glorious art of singing! A poignant and moving aria,

your dramatic expression and understanding of the sublimated desperation of

Anna Bolena are laudable! I fear for your voice and suggest you consult a

vocal coach for breathing and tonal support...the world's next great diva(o)!

Creative!

[secretiaborgia]

dear bel c

i feel like i know you but i don't believe we've met

perhaps in a past production of emilia di liverpool?

please take your ease with the valium

a relaxed throat is a very good thing

with affection
