| I didn't find her Desiree heartbreaking. I remember thinking that she found new stakes in the loss of this man before the iconic song. She wasn't disappointed, she was devastated that she had lost her second chance with Frederick. I was in the front row of the orchestra, and I'll never forget how Peters played the entrance into the song, as Frederick describes how he couldn't give up his child bride. Peters had the wind knocked out of her, and her "Clowns..." -- which some thought overwrought, on this very board -- was delivered through a veil of tears that nailed a sense of almost emotional abandonment. I thought it was daring, as it took the one song everyone knew coming in and re-minted its emotional weight. She felt heartbroken by her failed strategy to land this love of her life, and her child's father. |
