...I am not a Savoyard, but still a fan of G&S.<br /><br />I was pleasantly surprised at Lida Ronstadt's performance. I did not expect her to be that good.<br /><br />I'm going to put "Pirates" on my Netflix list. I haven't seen it in years. It's been one of my favorites since I saw the D'Oyly Carte company perfom it in NYC many years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987697048218684478.post-87279507786612003172010-11-11T10:13:53.225-07:002010-11-11T10:13:53.225-07:00I don't think it was made for TV and it's ...I don't think it was made for TV and it's available on DVD. I can't remember if I own it, but I've seen that version probably half a dozen times if not more. I'm sure my father had it on laser disc. My sister (shakespeare, who has a very good high soprano) and I would sing the whole thing based on this version.<br /><br />Rondstadt sings it very well and, in fact, all the singing voices are, in my opinion, quite good. I'm not a fan of Angela Lansberry and this is probably my favorite of her singing parts. <br /><br />I have a soft spot of baritone voices and loved Kevin Kline in this. I'm not as fond of tenors, but thought Rex Smith also did a fine job.Stephanie Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772217449161603561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5987697048218684478.post-4244698535390126562010-11-09T07:39:42.895-07:002010-11-09T07:39:42.895-07:00I read or heard or otherwise learned that pop and ...I read or heard or otherwise learned that pop and rock singers do quite often have classical training. I didn't read or hear or otherwise learn why.
