'addio' encore: marie mclaughlin & her glyndebourne traviata

how felicitous

during the quiz portion of yesterday's met broadcast of 'don carlo,' the superb soprano diana damrau, for her...quiz, played a line...from marie mclaughlin's violetta -- 'gran dio!...morir si giovine' -- she said, watching the glyndebourne production of 'traviata,' at the age of 12,...hooked her on opera

so i went to youtube -- to my favorite piece ('teneste la promessa' -- anna moffo's rendition of which...made me fall in love with her) -- mclaughlin's...is incredible


there's also, there, the entire...glyndebourne production -- i've seen/heard...the first act -- looks...magnificent -- just...gripping
