A single particular time this was played on a really renowned soprano by an equally renowned tenor. The two alleged contributors are Enrico Caruso and Dame Nellie Melba.

"The tenor is not really a voice, it can be a disease"

Perfectly I've to state whilst i am an novice tenor, I've considered playing pranks, and am constantly up to get a giggle. Alas the most important laugh I had was some yrs back when i was going to sing "Che Gelida Manina" and my pianoforte participant began playing the introduction to "Vesti Le Giubba" from leoncavallos "I Pagliacci". I looked at Gerry and he at me mortified hahaha.

I only explained Ok Gerry lets try out our recently reconstructed aria and that i attempted to start out singing "Che Gelida Manina" to the intro and songs of "Vesti Le Giubba" for sure this was a source of excellent amusement for the audience, after a handful of seconds I only smiled at Gerry and claimed. I believe Mr Puccini prefer to stick to his model, the gang erupted and we carried on while using the right music. phew second saved!!

I wonder what tales of pranks and methods may possibly arrive out more than the yrs for my favourite tenor from the second Rolando Villazon. Certainly he's extremely pleasant and packed with vitality and prospective mischief, Time will explain to. Meanwhile why not enjoy his model of Che Gelida Manina ideal listed here with Anna Netrebko as being a wonderfull Mimi.
