I "google imaged" my way through a bunch of images of Brunnhilde, but couldn't really find what I was looking for, so I picked that one, figuring she was taking a short breather between miscellaneous heroic deeds.

By the way, speaking of "Boris Godunov," when Seattle Opera did it some years back (lavish production!), Boris was sung by Giorgio Tozzi.

Despite the Italian name, Giorgio Tozzi was an American, born in Chicago, and was one of the basso mainstays of the Metropolitan Opera for many years.

If you saw the 1958 movie version of "South Pacific," you heard his voice. Rossano Brazzi played the role of Emile de Becque, but Brazzi's singing voice in such songs as "Some Enchanted Evening" was Giorgio Tozzi's voice dubbed in.
