"The tenor is not really a voice, it's a disease"

Perfectly I have to say whilst i'm an newbie tenor, I've thought of participating in pranks, and am usually up for just a laugh. Alas the most important chuckle I had was some several years back when i was about to sing "Che Gelida Manina" and my pianoforte participant started off taking part in the introduction to "Vesti Le Giubba" from leoncavallos "I Pagliacci". I looked at Gerry and he at me mortified hahaha.

I basically stated Alright Gerry lets try out our newly reconstructed aria and that i attempted to get started on singing "Che Gelida Manina" to the intro and music of "Vesti Le Giubba" of course this was a supply of wonderful amusement towards the viewers, right after a couple of seconds I simply smiled at Gerry and stated. I believe Mr Puccini would prefer to adhere to his variation, the group erupted and we carried on along with the suitable tunes. phew instant saved!!

I ponder what stories of pranks and tips may possibly come out about the decades for my favorite tenor from the second Rolando Villazon. Definitely he is pretty pleasant and jam packed with energy and possible mischief, Time will inform. In the meantime why don't you enjoy his variation of Che Gelida Manina ideal listed here with Anna Netrebko like a wonderfull Mimi.
