Ludwig van Beethoven - Fidelio - Oper in zwei Akten. Leonore - Jessye Norman - sopran, Florestan - Reiner Goldberg - tenor. Staatskapelle Dresden, 1989 conductor - Bernard Haitink
Ist das geil! Und diese beiden absoluten Premium-Stimmen, dazu eines der besten und eh das älteste Orchester der Welt, Richard Wagners "Wunderharfe"....... Gigantisch.
though to be truthful though she may not have been an easy pass for a man on stage. However there have been other women who have played the role on stage who did not pass easily for men either... I saw christine brewer play fidelio. I think its sad that she never got to do the roles on stage. Vocally she made a more than fitting Leonore:-)
@Baccalaureus79 she never did the role on stage... fidelio along with the score of carmen jessye decided to record albums of the scores but never did them on stage. she mentioned this in a youtube interview actually. She said that she liked before actually performing a role on stage to make an album of the score... to "test drive" the role I guess. Perhaps this was her way of getting to still do the role though she was perhaps not physically right for the role.

Did she perform this on stage? Honestly - I adore her voice, but how could she ever make for a guy?
