| "Re these concert versions of musicals - they're CONCERT versions, with the NYPO. The point is to sing the music beautifully, less to create performances that work on Broadway. I thought that mezzo Stephanie Blythe was quite good in the NYPO CAROUSEL, and as far as Nathan Gunn goes - he's a terrific actor in opera - and having seen it live, thought it a much better performance than that of the Billy in the recent Broadway revival." I completely agree. We can all think of examples where the casting of opera singers in musical theater roles did not work, but there are also many times when it does. |
