Two words: Neil Shicoff
If you care to read a bit about this extremely high strung, nervous,
hyper, UNmoderate singer who headlines at the Met, the Wiener Staatsoper,
and other leading international opera houses (at the moment, he's singing
Hoffmann at the Paris Opera), you can find a link to my own Neil Shicoff
website on my main Web page at the address in my .sig, below.
A few other UNmoderate singers who are now recognised as among the
absolute greatest in opera history - before you rush to judgement about
your own character:
Franco Corelli (nearly paralysed with fear before every performance -
sometimes even cancelled when too anxious to go on)
Maria Callas
Jon Vickers
Geraldine Farrar
Mary Garden
Feodor Chaliapin
Just to name a few UNmoderate singers.
