#Ann Murray

[princesssarisa]

I've just been rewatching the 1987 La Scala Don Giovanni (conducted by Riccardo Muti, with Thomas Allen, Claudio Desderi, and Edita Gruberova, among others) for the first time in a long time.

I wish reviewers on Amazon wouldn't harp on Ann Murray's Donna Elvira standing motionless throughout the Catalogue Aria. It's not "bad acting"; it's clearly direction. Elvira is in shock. In TV Tropes terminology, she's in a Heroic BSOD. And why shouldn't she be? When a woman, who's already distraught by being seduced and abandoned, learns that her ex-lover has done the same to hundreds of other women, and that she was never special to him, but just another name to add to his list, I think a complete shock-induced shutdown is a valid response!

Maybe it's not as effective onstage as having Elvira react with horror, rage, tears, etc. to each of Leporello's revelations. But it seems clear to me that she was told to do it. Neither in the rest of the role nor in other roles I've seen her sing is Ann Murray a bad actress or a park-and-barker. Standing in motionless shock throughout Leporello's aria was just a choice that, while valid, won't suit all tastes.

Round 3 Poll 1: Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables vs Meg Murray from a Wrinkle in Time

Propaganda:

Anne Shirley:

The poster child for female-presenting ADHD before the diagnosis even existed for stereotypical hyperactive boys, she's a mess who always seems to stumble into trouble and generally seems like just too MUCH for more than one character, yet her general enthusiasm, creativity, and determination just compells people to love her sometimes against their will. And if you tell her she's in this competition, she will NOT STOP until she comes out on top.

because she's the most delightful little girl in the world & anne of green gables has held on as a classic for over a century

wild and wacky Troublesome girl representation!! also her deep love for diana!

Smart, imaginative, loyal orphan from a classic book series

The original kid lit Queen!

Anne has a big imagination and a big heart! She is full of passion and always tries to do best by the people she loves. She turns Green Gables upside down when she arrives and opens up everyone's heart right up. This competition wouldn't be complete without her!!!

A classic weird girl icon. I love her so much.

As someone who was always taught to be the 'good little girl' - Anne whacking Gilbert on the head for pulling on her hair made her an absolute legend in my mind. She loves nature, has a temper, and finally gets to enjoy the simple joys of childhood with her new family the Cuthberts.

she is so dear to my heart. she never stops talking and is always finding beauty in the world around her. she grows up through the series and reading it at different ages through the years meant I sort of got to grow up with her, which was really special to me. she has this wonderful story about finding family where she doesn't expect it and winning people over through being herself and being kind to them. also, canadian content <3

My all time favorite "Gentleman Jack" video. Everything here is beautiful: the music, the cutting and the editing. Expectation, hope, relief, catharsis….. I cry and watch it again. Let's cry together!

The Murray family in other books by L. M. Montgomery (could they mean THE MURRAYS from Emily of New Moon series?):

Murrays are Diana Barry's cousins:

"Then Diana’s cousins, the Murrays from Newbridge, came; they all crowded into the big pung sleigh, among straw and furry robes." (Anne of Greeen Gables)

Hester Gray's maiden name had been Hester Murray:

"He had one son, Jordan, and he went up to Boston one winter to work and while he was there he fell in love with a girl named Hester Murray. She was working in a store and she hated it. She’d been brought up in the country and she always wanted to get back." (Anne of Avonlea).

Murrays are mentioned in Magic for Marigold:

"At Cloud of Spruce, just as with the Murrays down at Blair Water, it was a tradition that dying people must be taken into the spare room." (Magic for Marigold).

Bonus (could they mean Emily Kent neé Starr here?):

"And then—'ja hear her?—telling Mrs. Kent what I looked like when I was a baby? She's always at it. Catch Aunt Nora telling on a feller like that." (Magic for Marigold).

Of course, when Anne of Green Gables and Anne of Avonlea had been written, Emily wasn't even an embryo in Maud's head. Hester was supposed to come from Boston, while Blair-Water-Murrays were one of the first settlers on PEI, coming there from the "Old Country". So, Hester might have been no more than a very distant relative (if she was a relative at all, in the first place).

Still...I wonder if it was just a coincidence that Montgomery used the Hester's maiden name for a "chosen" family, or she wanted to somehow link a romantic story of a garden and endless love to a family that was known to be prideful and rather cool-headed?

And I keep wondering... did Maud give us a tiny glimpse into Emily's future in Magic for Marigold? It does seem likely.
