Our Diva on Record
Many thanks to our dear friend
Anne for helping us get a
handle (second paragraph) on the Handel. In fact, I was temporarily mesmerized by the diva quote she used in the article:
"The character is so strong," she said recently. "It's so rare that I get to really be powerful onstage. And it's a compelling story. In the middle of the opera, she says to Grimoaldo, ‘
I'll marry you, but only if you slay my son, right here in front of me.' It kind of surprised me. The situation, the people, are so realistic."
