"Dying is easy. Comedy is hard." - Oscar Wilde
After watching The Metropolitan Opera's first part tribute to Giuseppe Verdi on WTTW last night, seeing the video of the immortal Tatiana Troyanos as Eboli (I thank the Almighty for giving me the opportunity to see her live as Eboli at The Met in 1980)...I look forward to seeing La Bartoli as the ill-fated beauty of a princess sometime in the next decade or two (after she's done doing all that difficult comedy).
EV who took about a quarter of an hour to untie the knot in his throat after seeing the video of Leontyne Price's final bow as Aida.
