Thanks for all who replied offlist for info on the cabaletta of Edgardo in Lucia. I found that Scott´s Lucy of Lammermuir is actually based on Lord Rutherford, of whom I trust D. Ritchie knows a lot.
Giasone in Medea by Cherubini is my next, for next week. I have the DVD (early one, not the second recent one) and will study Giasone´s part. If you can forward this e-mail to those in the know, I´ll welcome comments at jlsperanza@xxxxxxxx
Seems like a good tenor role, even if not really your Donizetti, Una furtiva lagrima.
Hope all´s well with all, J. L. Speranza The Swimming-Pool Library Bordighera jlsperanza@xxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
