I rarely see the same opera with same cast
withing a week (I have not done that since I saw every Met Milanov performance I could, despite Kurt Baum. However last night i had the
pleasure (again) of seing the City Opera Cavalleris with irina
Rindzuner and Kip Wilborn, and again it was a thrilling experience.She
has one of the great voices in my experience...brilliant tone
throughout the range, a stage personality...Italianate!!!!!
These two artists came "from left field" to my
ears last week and let me tell you..you will be hearing more of them
soon. Irina does the vocal part in the City Ballet "Russian Seasons"
and 4 Minnies in April at Di Capo in NY.Do NOT miss her!@!!!!
I am sending you their links and hope you will
become as thrilled with them eventually as i have. I met them both for
the first time, and it turns out that Kip studies ith my excellent
teacher, Gregory Lamar. He has a bright and clear ringing dramatic
tenor voice, looks great on stage, and is another of the fine tenors
we are hearing lately. What a joy to find these fine new voices.
One cute thing..I met the Mamma Lucia,Susan
Nicely, and we laughed together (not that she liked the staging) that
she is my "testimonial for Ambien" because she never wakes up during
the screaming and yelling during "Viva il vino" but then hears "Mamma'
and wakes up..and the people always laugh........
Nice to make two new "diva/divo buddies."
Wait till I play her Marim Lynn and i have to play Kip the Bonisolli speeches!!!!
