The coolest nicest and obviously super talented! Triple threat! I knew this lady for years and always knew she was so nice but just recently did I see these videos and realize how extremely talented she is
Mil gracias por compartir. I just watched Wise with Domingo and Pons in Lucia di Lammermoor (Madrid 1981). A dream cast. She was radiant in face and voice. Her mad scene was a joy to behold for her acting and her coloratura was ethereal. Unfortunately I can't find any mention of it anywhere yet discussing the backstage details, to answer my one burning question: who is on the death litter who Domingo unveils just enough to kiss but keeps her face blocked from view? It made me think it wasn't Wise, so, who then? If anyone out there knows, do grace me with a reply. Paz y salud!
But people give Domingo a hard time for how he sounds singing English. I happen to not give a fig about accents when people are singing in a language not their own. Do they sound good? Are they getting the words right? Then accent-schmaccent, DiStefano. Funny, in this duet, the English isn't bothering me. Usually if it isn't Italian, French or German, I don't find it pleasant to my ear. This is delightful. Bravi! Mil gracias por compartir.
Ms. Wise provided one of the most thrilling Gildas imaginable many years ago in San Francisco. If memory serves, it was a summer season series of performances and I saw every one of them. Never understood why we never heard from her again here in S.F. as she thrilled me to the quick with every performance. Wonderful!!!
Dear SingingSoprano, thank you so much! I love it!:) Do you have the whole video? If yes- could you please upload it?:D I'd be so grateful! Best wishes
