My student voice teacher was Papageno, several friends were in the chorus or had small roles, and I had worked on the costumes a bit, as part of my costume shop practicum. Everyone was terrific, and the young woman who sang the Queen of the Night was amazing (as was Papageno.) But I can't imagine a truly amateur group putting it on - that could be hilarious. I would have to read the book for that alone, even if I didn't already love the series!<br /><br />As for my favorite opera singers, I've always loved Placido Domingo's voice. I honestly prefer him to Pavarotti.

Also, I agree wholeheartedly with Victoria about people who say horrible things but "they're just being honest"! I don't need that kind of "honesty" in my life and I would venture to say, no one does.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12575805572101100300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1536614618061255212.post-88381251787543207442015-07-03T22:52:50.489-04:002015-07-03T22:52:50.489-04:00Nice interview uniquecus@yahoo.comNice interview uniquecus@yahoo.comuniquecushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873689888952951140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1536614618061255212.post-63142101853997493542015-07-03T22:46:04.495-04:002015-07-03T22:46:04.495-04:00Great opportunity!!!
