"But if we're making a fantasy movie musical, I don't want Tony to sound like an opera singer. I just want him to sound good. I really don't think every classic Golden Age musical's baritone role needs to sound like Ezio Pinza, Robert Goulet, or John Raitt."
I understand what you mean in general, and I might agree in some cases, but it's ironic to me that you would pick Tony in THE MOST HAPPY FELLA as a prime example of a character that doesn't need to "sound like an opera singer." To me, if there's ONE role in the canon that is entirely, 100 percent appropriate to be sung by an opera singer, and benefits greatly from such a voice, it's that one, because of the style of music that Loesser wrote for the character of a middle-aged Italian man living in the early/middle years of the 20th century -- a character who I think would have opera in his blood. |
