#SCS 4.03.16

So, today’s Singer Crush Sunday is short and sweet because of the electrifying excitement from the success of our diva this week (check out Kara Smoot, here).

We had to, just had to, feature two greats: the soprano Montserrat Caballé and mezzo-soprano Marylin Horne singing the Barcarolle from Les contes d‘Hoffman, “Belle nuit ô nuit d’amour” by Jacques Offenbach.  In this concert edition, circa 1990 (thankfully, the over-sparkled singer fashion of the time has changed since), the divinas both come out hand in hand swinging and smiling ready to sing.  The delight and pure joy is of course, timeless, and as you can hear is contagious to the audience. 

Believe me when we say that though there maybe reports of “diva tendencies” backstage, this is generally how we react to other singers onstage, and off!  

With one look: “it’s time to PLAY!”

 

Goodnight, fellow Divas and Divini. Until next week! 🙂

#SCS: Singer Crush Sunday

Well, first there was a “Man Crush Monday”, and then came along a “Woman Crush Wednesday”, so now we at JACOPERA thought today, why not a “Singer Crush Sunday”?

From now into infinity, we will be sharing various videos and YouTube links from the Golden Age of singing, every Sunday.

Feel free to send us your suggestions, comments, and conversations OR join them as you wish on the linked YouTube channels.

To start us off this Sunday, we present the one and only Shirley Verrett, or as she is known, “the voice that could sing almost anything”…

For an extra treat, Pavarotti himself is included in the video singing, “Di Quella Pira”

Enjoy, diva darlings!
