Thread Name: why do singers take so long to start?
Subject: RE: why do singers take so long to start?
Above, at 14 Aug 15 - 07:45 PM, I described how a group of young singers, many of them teen-agers, learned and sang--on stage--full length operas. Operas which were sometimes three or more hours long.
One thing I didn't mention was that these were in the original languages. Faust was in French and the others mentioned, Rigoletto, I Pagliacci, and Cavalleria Rusticana were in Italian.
