Movie Musical Divas Tournament: Round 1

Eleanor Parker (1922-2013): The Sound of Music (1965) - Baroness Elsa Schraeder | Interrupted Melody (1955) - Marjorie Lawrence* Dubbed by Eileen Farrell

"Okay, so yes they cut Elsa's songs in Sound of Music for the film. Most people don't even know she has songs in the stage musical because of the rewrites, but they're there. And yeah, okay, solid cuts. But let the record show Eleanor Parker was a divine singer. For her role in Interrupted Melody, she painstakingly learned all of the opera songs used in this movie on her own. When filming the scenes, she sang the full songs an octave lower than the movie required so the dubbing could happen seamlessly." - anonymous

Susanna Foster (1924-2009): Phantom of the Opera (1943) | The Climax

"A vocal prodigy who starred as Christine in 1943's Phantom of the Opera at the age of 17, who is one of the best Christine's we've ever gotten in a film adaptation of Phantom. Her voice is crystal clear with an unbelievable range, hitting at G6 (above high C) like it was nothing. She had a very short film career, mostly focusing on stage and opera work in the late 1940's." - @mygreatadventurehasbegun

The Climax (1944)

"I don't hate you. I only hate the thing that's come between us: your voice."

"Yes, I know. You were out front tonight. I felt your eyes on me. Like you're looking at me now. Go away. Get out of here! I'm afraid of you."

"You needn't be. I love you, my darling, you know that. I'd give my life for you. This thing that shuts me out, I won't let it, I tell you I won't let it. It's here... now, between my fingers. I've only to close them to silence it forever."
