Well, G&BG is really no part of her rep ... neither is Dearest Mama (although
I like that better than G&BG). Susannah, OTOH, is a role she counts among
her signature roles.
Dawn Upshaw has an album of American arias that I rarely listen to because
she sings things not of her fach - "What a movie," for example, and "Ain't it
a pretty night," which she would NEVER sing in an opera house (but man, her
diction is clear!!).
