Mary Dunleavy Bizet Delibes Rita Shane Renata Scotto 1993 1994 1995 1998 2002 2004
THE MUSIC: Leïla, the soprano lead in Bizet's opera "Le pecheurs de perles" (The Pearl Fishers) is more of a French lyric role, with a smidgen of coloratura in her prayer to the deity Brahma at the end of Act 1. Her big aria in Act 2 ("Comme autrefois") is very reminiscent of Micaela's strictly lyrical aria in "Carmen" with no coloratura or extended high notes. However, this segment that closes Act 1 has some frills, trills, and top notes in order to conjure the exotic world of Ceylon and elevate the vocal temperature as the act closes. Could it have provided some inspiration for Delibes' more elaborate Bell Song in "Lakmé," which written about 20 years later? THE SONGBIRD: I recorded this performance from a broadcast out of Philadelphia in 2004 with Mary Dunleavy in her prime. Dunleavy is an American soprano who has sung leading lyric-coloratura roles around the world (name a city or venue or festival and she has likely sung there). She made her Met debut in 1993 in a small role in "Rusalka," with her first leading role there being Gilda in 1995, and her first of 17 performances Queen of the Night there came in 1998. Mozart's Queen was a calling card role for her: 84 performances with numerous companies between 1994 and 2002, at which point she began a natural shift to the role of Pamina. She hails from Connecticut, and studied at Northwestern University, followed by a Master of Music at University of Texas at Austin. She studied/coached with Rita Shane and Renata Scotto, among others.
Poor Maury Povich, once a respected journalist, now reduced to reading the results of Paternity tests in front of a Hungry audience. Sure, it looks like he could care less, but I can tell deep down that he's dead on the inside. Anyway, take a look at this 1987 edition of Povich's Journalistic Magnum Opus, "A Current Affair"; It is a special on the last days of Elvis Presley (Reported by Steve Dunleavy, based on a book he wrote on the same subject) that aired on the 10th anniversary of his passing. P.S. I Dare you to do a Drinking game based on the number of times that "ACA" Logo chimes in, you'll black out in 10 minutes.
