New Year’s Eve 1904 at The Metropolitan Opera. Verdi's „Rigoletto“ with Caruso and as Gilda Alma Webster-Powell (1869-1930). This was the only evening that she sung this role at the Met. But take a look on her very interesting biography.

I love her analysis of this aria and she presents this in such a fun way

I just imagined Draxum reenacting - defying gravity - but instead of Leo singing "I hope you're happy" at the end he straigh up just shoots him.

My vision was more 'No One Mourns the Wicked' and 'Thank Goodness' as Leo in a universe where Draxum gets himself and Gale killed and Leo has to basically shove his emotions in a box because everyone considered his brother to be Draxum's just-as-evil lackey and is glad he's dead.

Draxum is basically the Wizard paralleled Donnie's longing for a true mentor and parental figure who understands him and Elphaba's desire for a father who loves her. I think the last chapter title was actually from 'Wonderful.' 'checks' Yep. "A man's called a traitor or liberator. A rich man's a thief or philanthropist. Is one a crusader or ruthless invader? It's all in which label is able to persist. There are precious few at ease with moral ambiguities. So we act as though they don't exist!"

Donnie would perform 'Defying Gravity' and 'No Good Deed' on a daily basis, he's just That Kind of theater diva.

Remembering the greatest of the tenors and Joan's close friend - Luciano Pavarotti (12 October 1935 - 6 September 2007).

[…] "Going to Australia with Joan, first of all, I've learned to be a very serious professional singer and from her particularly, I learn to breath, who is the most important thing, but the most difficult. More than anything, I think the technique is perfect, I think it's probably the most incredible technique of all the time I would say." […]

ONCE UPON A TIME: “Elektra” by Richard Strauss, Munich premiere in the Prinzregententheater on February 14, 1909.

“Dein Mund ist schön, wenn er sich einmal auftut, um zu zürnen!“

On the left Zdenka Faßbender (1879-1954) in the title role, on the right Maude Fay (1878-1964) as Chrysothemis. The title role was double-cast. In the second performance, Marie Burk-Berger sang Agamemnon’s daughter.

Addendum: Audra McDonald, THE leading soprano of Broadway, is not included because that would be an automatic sweep for her. She's already been crowned Queen of Broadway Divas.
