| I too would be VERY interested to see / hear this 10th year anniversary concert! Please email me (link above) if you know anything. On that streaming event, I was really taken by the way Kelli O'Hara talked about feeling like a bit of an uninvited guest into a role that wasn't originally hers, and how she didn't feel in her bones -- I'm paraphrasing here -- that the title song was truly her song until she had the chance to sing it at that 10th Anniversary concert. She spoke about singing the song for Adam Guettel after she'd already been performing the role of Franca, and feeling a bit like she was stepping onto someone else's territory. It was very moving, to be honest. And Ms. O'Hara was tremendously sincere and humble as she spoke about it. I know several people connected to that Seattle production, and I know that the replacement of Celia Keenan-Bolger in the role was poignant and difficult for many within the company, in part because Ms. Keenan-Bolger is a performer for whom so many people feel genuine affection. I've always loved Ms. O'Hara in everything I've seen her do, but I really wish I could have seen the Seattle cast with Ms. Keenan-Bolger as Clara and Steven Pasquale as Fabrizio. I'm sure their interpretations of the roles would have been really something. Anyone here see it? Or, have the chance to compare the Seattle cast with the Lincoln Center cast(s)? - GMB |
