Ugh, I know the context behind the characters but I'm going to push it aside in the meantime

RENÉE FLEMING & DMITRI HVOROSTOVSKY as Tatyana Larina & Eugene Onegin in TCHAIKOVSKY: EUGENE ONEGIN Metropolitan Opera, 2007

[pineapplesandbananas]

while there are many wonderful parts of Jonathan Miller's production of Nozze at the Met I think the best part is little Rosina Jr. who periodically pops in and sits onstage for a bit.

the best part though, is that she gets brought onstage for Ricevete, o padroncina and stays for the rest of the third act. and yes, this does mean she watches the passive agressive argument going on between her parents, as well as Barbarina's, "remember what you said when you kissed me?"

but you know, I think watching your parents fight adds character

Nadia Sings no. 7

Link to last song

Yes, believe your eyes—it’s a Nadia Sings double feature!

This is one of my favorite jazz standards to sing, and it’s not one that I think most people will know: “You’ll Never Know” (Music by Harry Warren, lyrics by Mack Gordon)

The song was introduced in the 1943 movie “Hello, Frisco, Hello”, where it was sung by Alice Faye, eventually going on to win the 1943 Academy Award for Best Original Song.

In the 21st century, the song was featured in the 2017 film “The Shape of Water”, sung there by the legendary American opera singer, Renee Fleming.

When I first heard this song, between the lovely lyrics and beautiful melody, I immediately fell in love, and I could not believe it when I saw that it was sung by Renee Fleming, who was one of my inspirations growing up.

So I learned it as soon as I could… and have never performed it since—until now, and I think this is the proudest I’ve been of a recording.

I’ll let it speak for itself.

Again, my usual disclaimer; this was recorded in my new recording studio (my closet), using my favorite recording app, BandLab (again, you guys know the drill 🤣), and, as usual, while I put a little reverb effect on my vocal track, this is otherwise as unadulterated a track as the one I posted last time, just my voice, with no pitch correction, recorded into my iPhone.

(Headphones recommended to hear the reverb)
