Point-Counterpoint: A Little Death

On the other hand, I'm not sure Deborah Voigt singing "Ist dies etwa der Tod?" at the end of the Four Last Songs was the most appropriate time for my rowmate to be caressing his lady friend's bare calf and inner thigh.


Jeez, dude, haven't you ever heard of the "Liebestod?" Nothing goes together better than Sex & Death.

I would be completely scandalized. O dear.

Her interview on NPR was interesting. I thought her comment about Brittney Spears singing opera was HILARIOUS, but there are some young beautiful singers now. Beyond Anna Netrebko who is as beautiful as a woman can be, Kelly Kaduce who was on the cover of Opera News this month is beautiful. We shall hear how well she can do with Kentucky Opera's Otello.
