1. That sounds like a lovely Italian dish. Does it require rosemary?

3. That role is murder for a tenor...

what are those... hi E's? I believe so... and most men sound like they're screaming when they try to sing the role.

5. I have some fantastic vinyls of Pavarotti with Sutherland

I think I need to sell them... given that I don't have a record player. Their recording of Turandot cannot be matched.

6. Yes I got it! Puccini

My neighbors gave me the stereo and about a hundred records.

Later I will get to it. Whoops. Looks like she is not in this. Non piangere Liu.

7. Nessun Dorma... I normally hate tenor arias... but Pavarotti...

did that so well. (He sucks now though.)

9. Neither one of them should be singing Turandot!

I doubt they did it on stage.

10. Yes they did.... many times

Not to say that it wouldn't be a bit of a stretch, but it IS opera after all.

8. They're Cs.

But that doesn't make them any easier!

I've tried that aria myself, but not with much success.

Anecdote:
I once used a similarly difficult aria for an audition, and I very likely wasn't equal to the task. One of the people hearing the audition said when the carnage was over, "My! That was quite an undertaking!"

11. Yes, you're right... They are high C's ... which are pretty much

equivalent to a high E for a soprano.

12. Well, anyway

They are fun to listen to. Pleasing to the ear. Far superior to my trombone playing.

Sigh.
