| This is far, far less detailed than Alan's response, but I remember there were two reasons why I really didn't care for Loudon in the role: (1) her lower-class-Brit accent sounded way off, and I don't think anyone can work in that role if she can't do the accent properly; (2) as I recall, Loudon belted ALL of the high notes -- I don't remember her going into a soprano extension at all, if she even had one -- and I didn't like the way that sounded. |
