| Very true, though it's Franchi, not Franchini. And on that - the first time I was musical director for the show, and doing some research on the score, I got a wonderful chance to talk with one of the original ensemble members (I'm not telling who, lol.) She told me that Raul Julia and Sergio Franchi were pretty much polar opposites - Julia was not the best singer, but he acted the hell out of the role, while she said Franchi sang like a dream but simply couldn't act. I never had the chance to see the original production, but sure fell in love with the cast recording. (And I had the coveted cassette version, which had more music than the LP, including the full "Grand Canal" sequence. Of course, the remastered CD release contains even more than that.) |
