+Vlad Ghita ... If you look for 'Joyce DiDonato Getting ready for the Proms' by Sinfini Music she explains how she varies the cadenzas - with permission from Rossini!

(Anybody surpasses Callas anywhere), but this is the supposedly lost aria where sopranos interpolated their own choice. Also it is worth noting that in the three Barber-Figaro plays Almaviva is a cad and a s%^t.

@@rogerpropes7129 So?

​@@rogerpropes7129Nobody surpasses Callas critics for lacking the emotional capacity to appreciate artistic depth over sweetly hitting the right notes in the right places.

@@rosemaryallen2128 Why, thank you. My three favorite singers are Roberta Peters, Rosa Ponselle, and Patsy Kline. I once saw Beverly Sills as Rosina in 1979. She interpolated 'Twinkle, twinkle, little star', played it for slapstick, which I didn't appreciate.

@@rogerpropes7129 Well, Mozart himself had fun with 'Twinkle, twinkle', so I suppose that is a reasonable precedent! But there is a fine line between fun and the off-putting. The most outrageous, yet effective, comedy I have come across is inserted in the serious Danish 'Giulio Cesare'. As to the off-putting, I'd rather not remember!
