The 1971 film version of Lucia di Lammermoor starring Anna Moffo predates Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights" by seven years. But in the final part of the Mad Scene, when Lucia wanders out to the graveyard and then dances and twirls on the lawn as she sings, it looks uncannily like Bush's famous outdoor music video. Instead of Donizetti's music, it seems as if she should be singing "Edgardo, it's me, I'm Lucia, I've come home, I'm so cold..."
The fact that some scholars think Emily Brontë must have read The Bride of Lammermoor and that it was an influence on Wuthering Heights makes the parallel all the more fitting.

Does anyone know that French term that means or has to do with the “beauty of a voice that has passed its prime”? I know a critic used it to talk about Anna Moffo’s recording of Thaïs by Massenet and other recordings by other sopranos, but I cannot remember for my life what is the name of this expression.

EL CONCURS IFL AGOST 2022: FINAL
No ha estat l’edició més participada, de fet no sé si s’emporta el rècord de la menys, però això ara no m’importa gens, ja que hi ha 13 participants que han majoritàriament seguit fins al final que mereixen la meva més gran felicitació. Amb algunes de les respostes que anaven arribant cada setmana m’he fet un tip de riure, perquè mostraven l’entusiasme o el desànim de manera distesa i…

Top 5 sopranos <3
damn. i can't. im gonna try and not cheat but idk
1. Renata Tebaldi (duh)
2. Joan Sutherland (preferably young Sutherland, up to like mid-1960s when you could still somewhat hear actual words in her singing dkdhdndhn but i love her always)
3. Rosa Ponselle and Claudia Muzio (i love them both and they're kinda the same time period category but if I had to choose. yeah, Ponselle)
4. Marcella Sembrich-Kochańska and Luisa Tetrazzini and Nellie Melba (I CANT CHOOSE. they're my holy trinity of Ancient Goddesses of Coloratura - I'd say, objectively, Tetrazzini was the best when it comes to pure vocal technique, but Sembrich is the one closest to my heart so. Sembrich)
4. Edda Moser and Carol Vaness (they're THE Mozart sopranos. they never held anything back, always gave 100% of drama and full voiced singing, and that's THE ONLY WAY to sing Mozart. period. Moser ultimately wins because she's been with me from the very beginning, was one of my very first favourite singers, and she's ruined all Queens of the Night for me and her recording of Martern aller Arten makes me wanna scream and kill and maim like no other. I listened to her long before I even touched Tebaldi or Sutherland etc. and I'm very nostalgic about her. but Vaness is honestly so good too y'all, THE Fiordiligi and Vitellia, no one comes close to her in these roles, and also one of my two most favourite Donna Elvira-s actually).
5. Antonietta Stella (couldn't decide whether to put Nilsson, Flagstad or her but while I do think both N and F were Objectively better sopranos, I decided to go with my heart and my heart loves Stella forever and always. the problem with her is that, she either sings something absolutely wonderfully with a wall of huge, pure, beautiful, unrestricted sound, or she fucks up completely, rarely anything in between. but I just love her, I do, no matter what)
i feel so guilty for not including so many others of my favourites so im gonna mention them in the tags just to ease my conscience lol

Figurini, bozzetti, elementi scenici e costumi realizzati per gli spettacoli del Teatro dell'Opera di Roma nel corso di oltre un secolo di vita. Culla del teatro musicale del Novecento, l'Opera romana ha avuto un rapporto privilegiato con pittori e scultori, oltre che con scenografi e registi. Tale intensa produzione ha lasciato in eredità numerosi e rari materiali che, dopo un lungo e attento riordino, vengono presentati per la prima volta. Il volume propone oltre trecento opere create da alcune delle più note personalità artistiche del Novecento, quali Afro Basaldella, Alberto Burri, Corrado Cagli, Alexander Calder, Felice Casorati, Giorgio De Chirico, Filippo De Pisis, Renato Guttuso, Giacomo Manzù, Pablo Picasso, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Enrico Prampolini, Luchino Visconti e Franco Zeffirelli. Accanto a queste opere vengono presentati gli splendidi costumi di scena indossati nel XX secolo da alcuni dei più grandi interpreti del canto e della danza: Beniamino Gigli, Giacomo Lauri Volpi, Maria Caniglia, Maria Callas, Renata Tebaldi, Anna Moffo, Magda Olivero, Giulietta Simionato, Montserrat Caballè, Alfredo Kraus, Luciano Pavarotti, Aurel Milloss, Rudolf Nureyev, Carla Fracci, Zizi Jeanmaire, Alessandra Ferri e Roberto Bolle.
