as i remember, oprah herself started off by filling the screen and is still filling the airwaves with her large speaking voice. i don't see aretha franklin falling into obscurity. nor do i recall falling into an intellectual and emotional rapture after experiencing the rocket science rampant in such works as- l'elesir d'amore, don pasquale, cenorentola, manon, cosi fan tutte (nice ensembles though), etc. (although, i did chuckle for hours as i stuffed my fat face with bon-bons watching that hilarious dr. malatesta).
