| By the way, did you by any chance get to hear Paul Sorvino as Tony in THE MOST HAPPY FELLA when he did it at City Opera, either live or in video/audio clips? That performance was, alas, a near-disaster, but (in my opinion) not because his very tenorish sound was in any way inappropriate for the role. I did not see/hear Sorvino, but from what I seem to remember, some were indeed saying that the main problem was that the voice didn't fit the role. |

As I've already noted, I strongly disagree that this was the main problem with Sorvino as Tony, but if you like, you can continue to push that narrative even though you did not see/hear him in the role. |

| Michael - I'm not trying to "push a narrative," I'm just saying that at the time that's something I remember reading from various sources. I'm not making it up. | |
